Nestled among hills on the family farm in Te Ore Ore, this expansive rural residence takes care of the whole clan. 

Enrobed in rusticated weatherboard, with white box corners and wooden gable vents, this Wairarapa home exudes a traditional look that sits well in the landscape.

Indoor-outdoor flow is at the heart of the 325sqm design. Sliding doors open almost every room to the surrounding countryside. 

A wonderful woodburner, framed by custom joinery, is a fiery focal point in the generous open-plan living and kitchen area. A separate lounge, with a fireplace of its own, provides a quiet retreat from the shared living space. 

A generous hallway leads to five bedrooms. Double doors swing open to the master suite, a fitting entrance to this luxurious domain. A spacious walk-in robe and modern ensuite complete the parents’ hideaway. 

The roomy mudroom cum laundry intercepts dirty boots between the working farm and a generous, modern family bathroom. With this remarkable country home, the owners have really cleaned up.
