Set on approximately 6.25 acres of peaceful countryside, 153 Showground Road offers a unique blend of Tuscan charm and rural Northland beauty. This stunning three-bedroom, two-bathroom home captures breathtaking distant valley views and unforgettable sunsets, creating a truly magical setting.
Entering the property, the Mediterranean-inspired boutique Chambourcin vineyard and olive grove that greet you via the sweeping driveway are just a taste of what is to come. Seville marmalade oranges, Luisa and Santa Rosa plums and Granny Smith trees follow, with boxed rosemary hedging leading you down to the main entrance to the home, with an internally-accessed double garage/workshop and the conveniently located guest bathroom to the left and a lovely sunroom to the right that links seamlessly to the incredible living space.
Here, the country-style open plan kitchen - complete with walk-in pantry - and dining area is light and bright, with french doors that open directly onto the front patio, where aperitifs and alfresco dining can be enjoyed under the lovely pergola with views to die for across the paddocks below to Waimate North.
Stepping down into the lounge, be prepared to be wowed by the free-form macrocarpa upright logs and the vaulted timber ceilings. Relax by the fire, hide away in the adjoining library or step through the magnificent barn doors to the established gardens - every space in this home invites peace and warmth.
Heading upstairs, there are three beautiful double bedrooms (including the master with french doors that open out to the gorgeous rural vista), and a large bathroom with a luxurious deep bath.
Raised vegetable gardens and a cute implement shed will keep gardening enthusiasts happy, and for nature lovers the magnificent stand of ancient native trees that lead you down to the fenced paddock at the bottom of the property are a true marvel. Bivouacs will be built, picnics will be had and memories will be made!
This truly beautiful property will appeal to families, lifestylers and energetic older couples who want to live a Tuscan-inspired dream that combines a Mediterranean vibe, spectacular native features and the historic charm of Waimate North - and all just 20 minutes from Kerikeri.
