27 Island Road Whataupoko, Gisborne District

Private, elevated and surrounded by greenery, this is a home that feels wonderfully removed from the everyday. Filled with natural light and designed with flexibility in mind, there's a calmness here that's apparent from the moment you arrive.

The main living level is open, spacious and effortless. High raked ceilings create a wonderful sense of scale, while the updated kitchen sits naturally within the generous open-plan living area. Decks on both the eastern and western sides let you follow the sun throughout the day, from slow mornings through to long afternoons with friends. When summer arrives, entertaining flows outdoors to the inground saltwater swimming pool.

The generous master bedroom, walk-in wardrobe and bathroom complete the main level, while the separation between floors gives everyone the ability to find their own space.

Upstairs feels like a retreat of its own. An open-plan living area and kitchenette sit alongside a separate bedroom and ensuite, with dual decks elevated amongst the treetops. Peaceful, private and filled with light, it's a space that could work beautifully for older children, extended family, regular guests, or simply those who appreciate having a little more independence under the same roof.

Then there's the consented sleepout, adding yet another dimension. Work from home without working from the kitchen table, create a studio or dedicated creative space, accommodate guests, or explore the potential for additional income.

An oversized double garage with internal access and its own toilet adds even more practicality.

This isn't your average home. It has been designed to be lived in differently, with spaces that can evolve as life does, while always retaining that wonderful sense of privacy, light and calm.

For professionals, families or anyone looking for something beyond the ordinary, this is a home that deserves to be experienced.
