ORATIA FUSION: A BLEND OF ERAS - $700000

Description

When one thinks of Oratia, the image of a tranquil, treed area with vintage homes creating a haven of serenity and privacy, comes to mind. The village atmosphere reinforces the feeling that one is far from the rush of city life, yet this property is only 25 minutes drive from West Coast beaches and the Auckland CBD. West Auckland offers distinctive housing, and this property offers its own surprises, with two separate dwellings on one title. The original farm homestead, built in the 60's, is a spacious three to four bedroom home. The same owner has lovingly owned it since it was built and the design reflects the best of its time. Gain extra income from the self-contained downstairs unit, which is currently tenanted at $170 per week. The second dwelling is a brand new Arhaus constructed eco-home, featuring the best of eco design with bamboo floors, double glazing, state of the art solar water heating, constructed of ecologically sensitive materials. This two storey, modern, open plan home is superbly designed and of outstanding construction. Views of nature abound from both properties. Although these are very different homes, each complements the other. Located in a serene private setting of landscaped grounds and gardens, including fruit trees and magnificent native bush, native kauri and rimu trees are only metres from both houses.
