"Montanari" With stunning 360 degree views, "Montanari" sits grandly on a hilltop site, just south of Te Awamutu, surveying its surrounding fifty acres of rolling fields. Built in 2007, this spacious, classically elegant four bedroom home offers plenty of options for entertaining or relaxing and enjoying those magical views. Approached through electronic gates the house is set on three acres of lawn and gardens. A triple garage protects the main house from prevailing winds and provides one side of an elegant internal courtyard, reached either through the garage or another set of gates. This restful space incorporates manicured gardens, a fountain and outdoor eating area just perfect for watching the sunsets. Across the courtyard, the main front door welcomes visitors into a four metre high atrium. In a nod to classical European farm houses, the home boasts wooden shutters, tiled floors, copper spouting plus high studs. The large family living area faces north for all day sun and an entertainer's kitchen unfolds to your right, incorporating spacious composite bench-tops, two sinks, a built in coffee machine and bar fridge. Two sets of French doors open this area out to the garden and also to a covered outdoor room with gas fire and shutters which can be adjusted dependent on the weather. Entertaining is effortless here with the formal lounge opening into this area and also flowing out via French doors to the sheltered courtyard. A wide central hall links this living wing to the sleeping quarters. Four sumptuous bedrooms all enjoy views or doors opening onto the garden with the master incorporating a large ensuite with double vanity and shower. Outdoors, a romantic potager vegetable garden and a small orchard provide the owners with plenty of year round fruit and vegetables. The flat to rolling contour of this land provides many options for equestrian enthusiasts, cropping or dairy run off, currently leased to neighbouring farmer. This stunning "house on the hill" awaits new owners who wish to relax and enjoy the views.
