'The Pheasant House' proudly sits on just over 1.5 hectares of land within the iconic Tauroa Estate, in picturesque surrounds amongst mature specimen trees and charming English gardens. This special property has a relaxed ambience, and a lovely restorative feel about it.
The home features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with an open plan living area providing an intimate setting for dining and relaxing in front of the fireplace. French doors open to the wisteria covered terrace which offers a beautiful view, where Te Mata Peak takes centre stage. This view can be enjoyed from most rooms in the home, including the farm-style kitchen. Summer afternoons can be spent lounging by the pool in the complete privacy of this sheltered haven. Once you've cooled off with a swim, there is a handy pool house with bathroom where you can rinse off and change.
The one bedroom sleepout with ensuite bathroom and private deck is ideal for guests, or perhaps a family member wanting a bit of independence. And a separate studio in the garden would make the perfect children's playhouse or be ideal as an artist's workspace - you need only look out the window for creative inspiration! The established gardens not only provide splashes of colour that change with the seasons, but also an abundance of fruit.
The surrounding countryside is farmed using organic practices, further adding to the appeal of this property and providing a healthy environment in which to reside and enjoy an enviable lifestyle - all in keeping with the meaning of Tauroa - 'the place that extends time'.
