Modern Masterpiece in Hamurana
Blackwood Estate is one of Hamurana's newest areas. Set on one of the estate's largest sites at 5,552 square metres (more or less), this exceptional property boasts a premium position, with nature casting a scenic backdrop behind and a panoramic showcase at the front.
From the surrounding land to Lake Rotorua, the view stretches right across the water to the city and the hills beyond and the home is designed to full advantage of it all.
Built by Urbo Homes, it showcases contemporary design - understated, yet clearly finished to a high standard, with quality fittings and finish.
Family living is open plan with a skillion ceiling and plenty of windows to maximise light and views. Generous outdoor drift leads to alfresco areas overlooking the lake views at the front and there's a sheltered patio at the rear where an open fireplace is an invitation to linger well into the evening.
The bespoke kitchen creates a stylish focal point, with a scullery to keep the clutter out of sight, while a second lounge creates an ideal spot for some time out, watching movies or watching the big game.
Bathrooms continue the theme of understated luxury and a powder room adds to the convenience.
Four bedrooms provide ample accommodation for family and friends; while also giving the option to use one for an office if you prefer.
Adding to this home's appeal is a high-stud double garage with internal access. A separate shed - at around 120sqm gives further options for storage, the boat and fishing gear, work or a playroom.
It's a pleasant walk or bike ride down to the lakefront and the local store. The boat ramp and Hamurana Golf Course are also handy.
Out of the spotlight but not far from the beaten track, the property basks in the semi-rural bliss that makes Hamurana a special place to live.
