The 2 level home offers four double bedrooms plus an office/study. There is an attractive ensuite, 2 separate bathrooms and four toilets (with under floor heating in 2 bathrooms for winter comfort). You will enjoy cooking up a storm in the exquisite kitchen. The extensive and beautiful crafted veranda is great for outdoor living, with north facing views of the gorgeous Karaka rolling countryside and great views of the Manukau water inlet. The exceptional home is complimented by a thoughtfully landscaped garden. Facilities for the leisure activities are in abundance! There is a billiard room; a fenced astro-turf tennis court; a stunning 10m fenced solar heated swimming pool with surrounding decks; land for horse riding; and access to the Manukau Harbour where you can canoe and also launch a small boat for fishing, what a choice! And at the end of a busy day you can unwind in the sauna. The family's vehicles are catered for by a 5 car garage, part of which has a high stud, ideal for boats, mobile homes etc. The nine acres has a flat to gentle contour, and is well fenced to cater for horses or cattle. This outstanding property is situated 6 minutes from the m/way interchange. It is within walking distance to Karaka School and a few minutes drive to Strathallan Campus. The developing Karaka Sports Complex is just up the road as is the very popular Karaka Country Market and local cafes.
