Pared-back sophistication and easy-care proportions are distinctive features of this two-acre property which embraces rural seclusion in a supreme location.

Located for privacy away from the road, this modern residence sits firmly within its countryside environs yet is just 10 minutes from Himatangi Beach and 15 minutes from Palmerston North to offer climate and lifestyle excellence.

Presenting an exceptional opportunity for first-time buyers, couples, small families and downsizers, this 2018 build is stacked with contemporary comfort while the manageable 8000m2 section delivers space and tranquillity aplenty without the arduous upkeep of a traditionally sized rural block.

Concrete floors, steel framing and Colorsteel cladding lend an industrial aesthetic to the home, while timber finishes and unique details, including the barn doors and ladder pendants, reflect the home's pastoral surroundings.

Extraordinary country views can be appreciated from almost every angle, notably in the centralised living and dining zone, which is anchored by the striking kitchen, which is unmistakably chic and unique. A sheltered patio unfolds flawlessly from this social hub to provide a brilliant backdrop for alfresco dining.

Practical accommodation is supplied by two bedrooms that are effortlessly supported by a pair of bathrooms and a laundry.

The home's thoughtful construction ensures it remains warm in winter and cool in summer, while a log burner, full insulation and double glazing only elevate comfort levels further.

The land is flat and ideally scaled, allowing you to create a small paddock for a selection of animals while low-maintenance plantings and a substantial detached garage plus workshop finalise the picture.

It's anticipated this eye-catching property will be a popular choice with buyers seeking contemporary relaxation in a spectacular setting. Contact me for more information.
