Just a short walk from the waters edge in the sheltered harbour settlement of Athenree is this lovely 3 bedroom home plus completely independent 2 bedroom cottage on one title.

The home is warm and welcoming with decor that is light and fresh with touches of honeyed timber, beautiful vaulted ceilings and interesting windows that bring the outside in.

There's a lovely flow through the living space where light pours in from all directions in the substantial lounge and the outdoor dining area is a natural extension for family or entertaining. The kitchen is another light-filled space where modern improvements blend beautifully with original character touches.

The bedrooms are good sizes and well positioned away from the busy end of the home and the master bedroom opens beautifully to let the glorious garden becomes part of this restful space.

The family sized bathroom will keep everyone happy with both shower and exquisite designer bath plus the bonus of twin hand basins.

A full height double bay garage with electric doors and a workshop provides tons of space for vehicles and equipment and the laundry is nicely positioned to have direct access to the sunny garden.

Richly fertile and humming with life and bird song, the extensive permaculture garden is providing an abundance of fruit, vegetables and fresh eggs.

If you're in need of extra space for family or an added source of income the bonus of this gorgeous 2 bedroom cottage might be just the ticket! Completely independent with its own access, parking and private garden, this delightful cottage is currently running as a successful furnished holiday rental or perhaps you have extended family to accommodate or would like to work from home?

There is something really special about the Athenree community. It's as much a part of Waihi Beach life as you'd like to make it yet still a private enclave that feels special and exclusive - the best of both worlds!
