Gordonton Road, Gordonton, Waikato

This modern country manor reigns over a large block of land on the outskirts of town. No ordinary home, the stylish 534sqm seven-bedroom residence is swimming in luxurious space and is in tune with its rambling surrounds measuring some 5.25ha of lush Gordonton countryside. Living areas and bedrooms survey the peaceful scenery and connect to the outdoors via a series of stacking slider doors. Huge patios add extra living to the super-sized floorplan elevating the concept of lifestyle to an amazing degree.

Built by Golden Homes, this brand-new dwelling invites families to think big. Capacious shared spaces include a family room and an open-plan domain with not one, but two kitchens - a main showpiece and a fully equipped scullery. Entertainers are not left wanting. Light floods in through generous double-glazing and the feeling of connection is strong.

Bedroom configuration allows for privacy and multi-generational living. Three of the seven bedrooms have an ensuite, and two also boast a dressing room. The guest suite is private, and all bedrooms are meticulously appointed right down to fully fitted wardrobes. Bathrooms are opulent, tiled spaces, the laundry is top drawer, and six toilets show how well this home caters to a family.

Storage and utility space is abundant throughout, and the voluminous garage has parking for four cars. There is oodles of on-site parking and a fabulous sweeping entrance.

The home promotes refined, adaptable living primed for a large family. Economic to run, it generates its own solar energy and has quality inclusions to make everyday life effortless. Outdoor domains are tranquil retreats designed for sun-splashed barbecues and social summer evenings, and the large tract of land, supporting a second dwelling, lends itself to numerous uses.

The location offers the best of both worlds - spacious, peaceful country living and proximity to urban amenities and sought after schools.
