Property seekers wanting a dash of rural living with something a little extra special, take a look! A huge dollop of breathtaking sea views and a healthy country lifestyle form the picture here. Sublime views overlooking Kawau Island, Omaha Beach and beyond, is equally matched with a welcoming four-bedroom family home on 1.0125 hectares.\n\nTake the picturesque country lane out to 220 Schollum Road - waiting here is a modern, single level home fashioned with a hint of barn style. Bringing the outside in, via bi-fold doors on each side of the living area, are framed views of sea, islands, expansive green hillside and native bush - yes wow! \n\nTwo pavilions create the easy care footprint; open plan living with Tuscan styled outdoor courtyards on each side, plus a galley style kitchen with gorgeous retrofitted cupboards and a rimu island-bench, form one pod. Whilst the second pavilion consists of a double garage, front entrance, bedrooms and guest bathroom. Listening to birdsong and gazing at that dreamy view make leaving the master bedroom with ensuite a tad difficult! Teens will thank you for their hangout zone in the end bedroom, or perhaps BandB may be your thing. Maybe work-from-home folk will command this space - watch the creative juices flow!\n\nAn energy efficient home, polished concrete flooring looks great but also retains heat built up during the day and a wood burner adds further warmth. Notable too is the low maintenance nature of this block - a large portion is covered in beautifully established bush, taking care of itself. Tend to the gardens and lawn, then chill out on sun loungers or chase a footy round with kids! Vege gardens and a bunch of chooks are all further ticks in the lifestyle box, yet a mere ten minute drive will have you back at Matakana soaking up a vibrant village - cafes, markets, boutique cinema, vineyards, beaches, top schooling and so on. \n\nCan you picture a tranquil life here, less than an hour from Auckland city? Bet you can! Call today to view. \n\n\nAuction: 1pm, 23 July 2015, Bayleys, 14 Florence Ave, Orewa\n
