Perfectly positioned above Lake Karapiro, this is a trophy property reminiscent of a French chateau with a grandstand view of the Lake in the most exquisite private setting.

The house has been cleverly designed to maximise the views and from the moment you enter the front door you will appreciate that this home oozes quality. The hallways have been set on the south side so all the rooms face north over the lake. There is a separate stairway in each wing of the house with the western stairs leading up to a large bedroom with ensuite and walk in robe and extra storage room. The eastern wing stairs access the spacious master bedroom with ensuite as well as a Scottish themed bedroom and a French themed bedroom. All these bedrooms have their own delightful Juliet balconies. There is also a separate bathroom upstairs in this wing. Downstairs there is a kitchen (which boasts a magnificent built in Aga stove and large butler's pantry), formal dining and living areas as well as guest quarters and a large office. All the rooms are generously proportioned. A purpose built wine cellar/tasting room leads out to the pool and sauna area. The in-ground concrete pool looks out over the lake and is set in its own sheltered sunny private area complete with pump room.

Automated iron front gates at the impressive road entrance sweep open to take you under towering plane trees and down the manicured cypress lined driveway which reveals a stunning Italian water fountain. This water feature is encircled by the driveway set inside a walled courtyard lined with white standard roses and box hedging. The drive continues to sweep around under an archway providing three car garaging access from the northern side of the house. Narrative cannot do this property justice - it has to be seen to be believed.
