Description
Known as Fern Lake Park, this gracious property sits proudly on 4035sqm of parklike grounds in a coveted riverside enclave just 3km from Kerikeri Township. Classically styled and grand in scale, the three bedroom plus office home balances enduring appeal with everyday convenience. Nestled within a semi-tropical wilderness and capturing tranquil water views, it’s easy to see why this striking property has been tightly-held for the past two decades. A covered portico driveway welcomes guests in style and sets a tone of refined hospitality. Spanning 388sqm, the home celebrates both relaxing and entertaining. A large glazed conservatory forms the heart of the home. This incredible annex hosts an indoor swimming pool, spa, sauna, bathroom and an adjacent guest bedroom. Additional covered living spaces allow you to enjoy garden and inlet views year-round, offering sheltered dining and relaxed family living in every season. The lounge and dining areas make a strong architectural statement, with solid timber accents, a gas fireplace and generous proportions. A separate formal dining room creates a wonderful space for special occasions, complete with a servery connecting through to the kitchen. The spacious, light-filled kitchen
features warm timber cabinetry and ample bench space, making it ideal for everyday living and hosting. While there is a sumptuous master bedroom with ensuite, complete with a bath, and a spacious walk-in robe, there is also a large guest bedroom which boasts its own ensuite and garden access. Every element of the home has been completed with a sense of permanence, from its abundant storage to an inviting tiled entrance, a separate laundry, and an oversized garage. Set among mature gardens and surrounded by a prestigious neighbourhood, Fern Lake Park is a rare offering of scale, privacy and classical appeal. For the full information pack call David today.

Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
Know your tax obligations
US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.
