Enjoy the country lifestyle at this beautiful Indonesian-inspired home

The vendors are committed to moving, reluctantly leaving this beloved Indonesian-inspired home they built on two acres of a hilly paddock in 1981. Positioned in the established suburb zoned under Countryside Transition of Residential Large Lot, sits this uniquely designed residence. When the vendors undertook the task to build their dream home, they focused on providing a family home that encompasses space, comfort, privacy and in tune with the natural surroundings of the immediate area.

Enjoy the leisurely stroll on the walkway through the bush and numerous garden projects on display by renowned landscaper Jonathan Bowman, sculptures by impressive artists James Wright, Terry Stringer, Jeff Thomson, Graeme Hitchcock and Jenny McLeod. Art is a dramatic feature of this garden that has been created and developed proudly by the vendors. Seeing is believing. You will be amazed too!

The vendors have undertaken some enhancements including the kitchen/pantry/laundry area, conversion of one of the bedrooms into a study/reading area, conversion of the study into a large walk-in wardrobe and combining the dressing room and a bathroom into a spacious ensuite.

Essentially this uniquely shaped dwelling comprises four equal sized hexagons with three of them grouped together making the main residence and a standalone hexagon forming the garage for two vehicles and workshop space. This home with a total floor area of approximately 197 m2, features three bedrooms, an ensuite, a separate toilet, the main bathroom, a study/reading area, dining area, formal lounge, and a bar area ideal for entertaining family and guests.

Off the family area is the North-facing sheltered alfresco outdoor which provides an additional option for entertaining on any scale, from intimate dinners to cocktail parties.

This tranquil setting is surrounded by native bush, which attracts a myriad of bird life, is located near excellent schools and recreational facilities in Barry Curtis Park and just a short drive to Botany Town Centre and Manukau Shopping Centre with its excellent range of shops and community amenities. Also close by is the ever-popular Point View Reserve walking tracks that provide another option to satisfy your leisure activity.

The opportunity is here – retain the country lifestyle or explore the subdivision potential. Could there be a more idyllic setting and yet so close to all urban conveniences? Come and see for yourself.
