Warmth and calmness. Despite its size and position overlooking the Tasman Sea, this architectural house clad with western red cedar exudes both. Nature is at the core of this special 413sqm build with four bedrooms, four bathrooms and three living spaces. It can be enjoyed from every window. Think rolling hills, a sandy shoreline, crashing surf, meandering stream, Mt Taranaki and wildlife. The clever design nestles the H-shaped house into the exposed coastal site, sheltering it from the elements. Moveable cedar-slat screens provide extra protection. A courtyard with tiled pool, wood fire, built-in barbecue and pizza oven are shielded by three sides of the house. The seaside deck is a sun-trap, and an east-facing deck set amid tropical planting is perfect for morning coffee. Entertaining is never off the agenda. The northern wing holds the main living spaces, including the lounge, dining and bespoke steel and timber kitchen with open scullery and wine cellar. Atop a custom steel hearth between the dining and living zones is a cast-iron woodburner. On the way to the main-bedroom suite you’ll come to a cosy snug. The southern wing has three more bedrooms, ensuite, bathroom and games room, all with views. A separate triple garage has plenty of space for beach toys.
