Elmwood Homestead
Be captivated by this awe-inspiring turn-of-the-century villa nestled amongst its sculptured grounds. Exuding charm and elegance, this character-filled home offers the perfect blend of country charm and modern conveniences for families seeking their forever home.

Positioned in a strong Tamahere locale lies this exceptional property. The original villa, which has been relocated from Claudelands, has since been empathetically renovated throughout, highlighting its original features. The 340 sq m villa sits north-facing, surrounded by enchanting landscaping, for families and those seeking a relaxed, quiet haven.

Greeted by a striking horizontal Elm tree at the heart of the expansive circular drive and with established hedging creating privacy and forming separate rooms and vistas to enjoy. Luscious drapery evokes a sense of opulence, from the exquisite William Morris fabrics and bespoke pressed metal ceilings sourced from Western Australia to the feature bi-fold windows and original fireplaces. No detail has been overlooked, with bespoke tiling and tapware sourced from France and the UK. High ceilings evoke a sense of space, along with large picture windows that frame the gardens from each room.

Designed for entertaining, this exceptional home boasts an award-winning country contemporary kitchen, as featured in Trends magazine. The heart of the home showcases a stunning Matai centre island and effortlessly flows out to the extensive decking and verandas. Here, you'll also find a heated in-ground pool and spa, complete with a bespoke bronze lion water feature and hand-crafted wrought iron fencing.

The bones of the home are Kauri, new cladding is matching pine weatherboard, and a new Coloursteel roof was installed at the time of re-siting, along with re-wiring, upgrading of insulation. The property also includes 94 sq m of garaging and workshop space which seamlessly mirrors the original villa's facade. Don't miss your chance to make memories and to call this unique piece of history your own.
