Hello

This blog is my *virtual magazine* of stunning homes in Australia currently for sale. The homes are not necessarily perfect (like in a magazine shoot) so you need to forgive some obvious mistakes, and just enjoy seeing how others live, perhaps even take some inspiration from here n' there! (if you see your home here, take a bow because I search high and low before I finally decide to post a home for my blog!) THANKS FOR DROPPING BY...

About the property

Price: NZD$4,300,000

The Hart stands proud like a majestic white fairy tale castle complete with two turrets amidst mature park like grounds. A true work of art this unique property will not fail to impress and captivate you with its great sense of arrival.

This stylish luxury lodge of world class is located in the Bay of Plenty equidistant between Tauranga and Rotorua, but within easy reach of both.

The homestead is set high on a ridge line overlooking private grazing land and its unspoiled native bush block below. Panoramic views of the impressive Kaimai Ranges span far to the west whilst the deep blue of the Pacific ocean and Tauranga harbour beckons you to the north.

Recently refurbished with a sophisticated fusion of the classical and contemporary the property also includes a collection of divine antiques and artworks which add the finishing touch to this wonderfully romantic retreat. The well manicured grounds feature a lawn tennis court, croquet lawn, box hedging, a large water feature complete with fountain and ample car parking. Three car garaging is also located on the western side.

The house features a large conservatory to the north plus extensive outside decking and balconies on two levels to soak up the all day sun. Currently configured with four large suites the upper floor boasts a large media room and its extensive day spa. The ground floor houses just one of the four suites plus two dining rooms, a library, a welcoming day lounge, spa room and warm country kitchen.

A perfect haven for well heeled international travellers or as an indulgent weekend escape for locals the lodge also caters to the very profitable boutique wedding and conference market. The west wing is home to the elegant Day Spa which caters to both in house guests and a select local clientele. Professional massage and skin therapists relax and revitalize their clients with a wide range of treatments in a tranquil environment.

For the outdoor enthusiast there is 6.5 hectares of protected native bush to explore plus 11 hectares of fenced farmland to enjoy which are home to the likes of fallow deer and sheep. Included in the sale is an adjoining 3000 square meter section on its own freehold title with separate entry which can be built on as an additional managers residence if required. This property can be privately enjoyed as a luxury retreat or further developed as a promising tourism business.

WOWEE

That is just a gorgeous house!
When we lived in Tauranga (not far from Rotorua) we regularly witnessed the most amazing sunsets over the Kaimai Ranges from our deck. I can only imagine the same vision from that sunroom, awe-inspiring!
