63 The Gates Road, Waiau

A unique opportunity to purchase a classic country homestead designed by the renowned architect Heathcote Helmore. The design was inspired by his time spent in the United States of America studying traditional country homes. Set in wonderful mature grounds and sheltered by magnificent specimen trees on over four ha of land, the gardens are a delight to behold, and include a summer house, large swimming pool, tennis court and great outdoor facilities. The home features a large formal lounge opening onto the gardens, living room, formal dining area, reception room and office. There are four spacious bedrooms all with well appointed en-suites. The entire house is heated by modern radiators. The large modern kitchen area is especially well appointed, and includes a separate pantry and a wine room. The residence received a sympathetic updating some years ago, which included insulation, re-wiring and installing the modern kitchen and bathroom facilities. More recently the property received some earthquake damage. This home is very liveable and offered as vacant possession. This property is for sale "as is" by negotiation.
