56E Edmonds Road, Kerikeri

The highly respected architect Ron Sang, influenced by his Chinese heritage, has clearly put his signature on this magnificent waterfront home. From his philosophy that all aspects of the design should work in harmony with nature, water is an important element of this home. His passion as an art collector reflects trademark niches and spaces inviting owners to add their own collections and colourful art. Over-sized doors and the spacious light-filled structure of reinforced, insulated concrete allows the energy to flow effortlessly through from room to room. Elegant teak joinery frames huge panels of glass whilst folding shutters control the ambience from sunrise to sunset. The upper level balcony with its Malaysian style pavilion roof is the perfect retreat at the end of the day to meditate and marvel at the surrounding beauty; the tranquil, tropical gardens and the still crystal clear waters of Kerikeri Inlet at the end of the garden. With the focus on superior quality, the six bedrooms, five bathrooms, spacious living rooms and the well-appointed kitchen have been meticulously finished to satisfy the most discerning tastes. The property boasts separate manager's cottage and garage, an inground swimming pool, spa, outdoor entertaining and a fire pit. A boat ramp, barn/boatshed and mooring which can be transferred, allow you to be out fishing or sailing in the main waterways of the Bay of Islands in minutes of launching. This is a rare tropical paradise in the very heart of the Bay of Islands and is just 20 minutes from Kerikeri Airport.
