OVER & ABOVE

8 Minden Hill Lane

Our vendors, ready to move on with their plans, are looking for offers upwards of the mid-$3M's. Please be in touch if you would like to discuss this opportunity in more detail.

Nestled at the top of the Minden’s exclusive enclave and exposed to the best views in the Bay of Plenty, this property is embraced by native bush and sheltered from the prevailing weather. Uniquely crafted by well-regarded Colin Davis and brought to life just five years ago by sought-after builder Luke MacGibbon of 90 Degrees Construction, the home presents as new. This exemplary, modern, and enduring residence is a collection of clever details and high-quality inclusions. A five-star lifestyle, over and above in every respect.

FEATURING

This prime position in the desirable Minden Hill Lane subdivision is just moments from the Te Puna amenities; the site is privy to an outstanding sunny, northerly aspect and coastal views.

Suited to families and couples alike, it is a substantial residence with premium claddings from StoPoren and Nu-wall. Luxury single-level living on the ground floor, extra accommodation with living space and a kitchenette on the first floor, and storeys connected by an impressive entry atrium stairwell, mezzanine void, and a lift.

A covered entryway leads to an atrium entry foyer with a central hallway connecting the ground floor plan. This hallway is spacious, light and inviting, with distant views to the Master suite and feature landscaping beyond.

The kitchen and plumbed scullery exemplify form and function with considerable bench space, good ergonomics, and high-end finishes, including custom double lacquered cabinetry, Ceaserstone & Dekton benchtops, and feature splashback. The kitchen’s open plan with the living and dining areas and its strong connection with the north-facing views are further enhanced by the two-storey mezzanine void that hovers just beyond its island benchtop and creates an epic dining room space. The vast and inviting scullery space is well-connected and offers ideal amenities for day-to-day living and large gatherings. There are extensive indoor/outdoor connections between the family and dining rooms, with the sun-drenched patio and alfresco space beyond.

A large lounge space, separated by an attractive glazed wall cavity slider, offers separation and privacy as well as connection to the outdoor living alfresco space with its radiant heating, views and shelter. Electric blinds control the afternoon sun and invite media room functionality.

The secluded master bedroom is peacefully tucked away on the western end of the ground floor, with direct access through sliders to the front lawn and views. Its real treasure is the expansive dressing room and ensuite bathroom, which are beautifully appointed and extravagantly connected to a lush green courtyard and garden area, offering a truly resort-like experience.

A generous office space with a bespoke reclaimed timber desk, natural light, and greenery complete the ground-floor living. A designer laundry that’s also bright and light through the striking use of rooftop skylights and a very ornate and spacious powder room complete the space.

Upstairs, it’s impossible not to be wowed by the central mezzanine space. Complete with lift access and a kitchenette, this large living area, which is currently purposed as a TV lounge, has numerous frequent or occasional use options. The direct connection with the main living areas below, grounds and coastal views beyond make time in this space a memorable one. Three large double bedrooms and wardrobes share a suitably sized family bathroom, each having its own unique feel and outlook on three corners of this level.

The garaging space comfortably fits two modern vehicles and provides three-phase EV charging and space for an extensive bank of solar equipment for the 8kw ground-based solar array, which is located above and behind the home, making maintenance/cleaning safe and convenient. The third garage space alongside houses a 13kW Tesla Battery Wall and a climate-controlled room big enough for storage and/or hobby use.

The grounds and hardscaping/landscaping are beautifully conceived and executed to be attractive year-round and with minimal maintenance. A pool was designed in the original brief to sit on the west side of the home, and this area is ready with power, gas, and water to accommodate one in the future. The lower level of the section provides free yard space for play or additional improvements.

Soaring studs heights over both storeys, an array of appliances, ducted heating/cooling, central vac, feature lights, and on-trend material and colour choices combine with the above to cement this property’s position at the top end of the Bay of Plenty’s luxury lifestyle market.
