96 Dunrobin Lane, Ararimu, Auckland, New Zealand

Description

This is stylish country living in Ararimu in a beautiful home on approx. 10 gently rolling acres with stables, covered yards and a large barn. The decile 10 Ararimu School, swimming pool and hall are just 3 minutes away and the new Drury South Crossing development and motorway only 11mins away (approx). Many options await the family wanting a wonderful country life so close to towns and other amenities.

Drive down the quiet, no-exit Dunrobin Lane to arrive at the electric gates of a country paradise, with facilities that will appeal to a multitude of different lifestyles. The olive tree lined driveway meanders through the front of the property to the large car parking area with adjacent barn and double garage and opens out to expansive views across the property and rural countryside.

Enter the impressive courtyard entrance of this beautifully constructed home, through the glass paned wood front door, and the interior will take your breath away. This house certainly has the ‘wow’ factor. A huge open plan Kitchen / Dining / Living area with cathedral ceilings, American oak floors and exposed macrocarpa trusses leads out through wide trifold doors to the large sun-drenched entertainers’ deck at the front of the home featuring an outdoor BBQ / bar / fireplace and firepit.

The 3 bedrooms are divided into two wings. Two good sized bedrooms, a bathroom and separate toilet in one wing, and the master with ensuite in the other. A wooden decked courtyard is snuggled in between providing indoor outdoor flow from the bedrooms, and an intimate outside dining area, or just a quiet place to lounge and read a book while soaking up the sun.

The park-like garden with many established trees and large expanses of lawn to enjoy outdoor leisure activities also features an orchard filled with a variety of fruit trees. There’s even a lined, stoney edged feature pond which could be used for emergency irrigation or firefighting or perhaps a spot of RC boat racing! Stock up your pantry from the wonderful large fenced potager garden with a plastic greenhouse in which to grow your own vegetables and flowers.

This rural retreat also boasts an impressive 13m x 12m concrete floored barn with 3 stables, tack-room and workshop areas, and plenty of additional room for vehicles. It has 12 x roof mounted solar panels which supplement the power supply for the property through a 2kW inverter. Multiple centrally raced paddocks make stock movement a breeze and the separate covered yards and hay shed with adjacent 25m grass round-pen provides additional shelter and an enclosed work area for horses.

Our vendors have reluctantly placed their beautiful property on the market after 18 years due to their requirement to relocate, opening the opportunity for the next fortunate family to enjoy this wonderful country estate in a highly sought after area.
