Experience the breathtaking warmth and architectural grandeur of this magnificent, authentic log home. Perched perfectly to capture sweeping, panoramic views across the rolling hills of Hunua, this unique property features spectacular floor-to-ceiling windows in the main living space that frame the stunning rural landscape like a living work of art. The sprawling layout seamlessly blends rustic character with absolute comfort, flowing out to a massive wraparound deck from almost every ground-floor zone to maximise the peaceful country air. The home’s multi-level layout intelligently zones social spaces from quiet retreats, beginning with a ground floor split into two distinct wings.

To the left sits the expansive social heart—a grand, light-filled living area and a fully equipped country kitchen with a breakfast bar, dining table, and direct access to the massive wraparound deck—while the right wing houses a practical laundry, a full family bathroom, and two beautiful deck-access bedrooms, including one with a sun-soaked conservatory. Ascending the stairs from the kitchen reveals a versatile top-floor sanctuary featuring a second living area with a futon, two work desks, a four-seater table, and a palatial Super King master suite complete with a walk-in wardrobe, an ensuite, and an elevated viewing deck. Finally, the basement level rounds out the estate with an internal-access garage and a premium private sauna, offering the ultimate way to unwind after a day of exploring.
