ABOUT No. 7
Three beds, two bath, one acre of gardens, one pool, views to die for
For the first time in over 30 years, the incredible view from number 7 The Lookout is for sale.
Luckily, along with the view comes a lovely 3-bed home, swimming pool and large, beautifully tended and landscaped waterfront gardens with mature trees, orchard and plenty of native planting.
The home is set in the middle of the section, reached from the quiet cul-de-sac road down a wonderfully planted driveway. This introduction to the property will take your breath away, so drive slowly and take it all in. A large turning circle lets you sweep around to the house and 2-car garage - one half of which has a raised roofline to accommodate your boat if needed.
You enter from the rear of the home and will be struck by the beautiful wooden floors, but quickly your eyes will be drawn to that view. The main living area comprises kitchen, dining and lounge, and from anywhere, you simply can't stop but stare. Out to the expansive deck the vista expands and you peer right down Kerikeri Inlet as a glistening white cruise ship sails past on the Pacific Ocean in the far distance.
Perfectly situated at the point where the river widens past Scudders Beach on the far side, this is a wonderful spot for watching boats go by or catching the resident hawk hovering and swooping along the waterline.
The master suite, comprising a large double room, en-suite and walk-in robe, offers a view across the water from your bed, as does the second double bedroom on the far side of the home. With a further double room, family bathroom and separate toilet, there is plenty of space for residents or guests.
The main living space, with those beautiful solid wood floors, is open, giving access to the view from whichever part you're in: the newly repainted classic kitchen, the dining area or the spacious lounge. Two ranch-sliders open this space up to the deck and that view. On cooler evenings, the wood-burner heats the space beautifully.
The gardens have been professionally and personally tended for many years and there are both sunny and shady spots to sit and read, sunbathe or snooze all over the terraced garden. The fenced pool is surrounded by a paved patio area where you can relax between swims, or just gaze out to the inlet beyond.
The property is blessed to be fed by a constantly running spring, which supplies enough water for the house and pool and garden - and even enough for the neighbours to dip into it now and then to top up their pools. In the last 30 years it's never run close to being dry and has been tested as completely safe to drink.
The property has fibre for great broadband.
