Set into the hills behind Ōmana Regional Park and Ōmana Beach, this 290sqm home is quite the stunner. With five bedrooms and three bathrooms, this two-storey home is kitted out with all the mod cons a family could need — that saltwater pool won’t hurt either. The exterior is a sign of good things to come: shiplap and board-and-batten timber cladding provides sophisticated style attuned to the rural setting. Inside, there are examples of fine craftsmanship throughout, including soaring 4.5m negative-detail ceilings, engineered hardwood floors and striking timber balustrades on the stairs. Clever design allows the indoors to flow into outdoor areas with ease. The chef’s kitchen and living area is right next to a massive stacker-door system, with extra attention applied to making the home’s floor level perfectly flush with the hardwood decking. The pavilion is the true showstopper with a stunning cedar soffit covering the outdoor seating area on Vitex decking. There’s even a custom sound system so the good times can keep rolling. From here the eye is inevitably drawn to the pool, with its statement sapphire stone coping and glass mosaic tiles.
