GRANDEUR

866 Pyes Pa Road, Pyes Pa

The owners of this inimitable property have instructed us to offer the market a three-quarter-million-dollar/$750,000 reduction in the asking price, now set at $6,000,000. Buyers with a grasp of the market, and an understanding of the significance of this substantial real estate, will recognise the value and comparative opportunity on offer, with the price expectation now sitting below the owners' total investment.

Pyes Pa is a central Bay of Plenty lifestyle location with incredible amenity and connectivity for busy professionals, families and retired couples alike. On this flat, beautifully landscaped and native bush bordered five-acre estate, sits a remarkable modern manor of scale and unmatched magnificence. Completed in 2009, with materials from five continents, the home represents over a century of craftsmanship. This property showcases what can be achieved when a focus on family, peace, and privacy meets exceptional style, quality, and a desire for permanence and authenticity. Further development opportunities beyond its current use include a wedding venue, luxury lodge, equestrian facility or botanical garden. The proximity to ACG and Aquinas Schooling will be of great value to some buyers, while others will appreciate easy access to The Crossing, one of Tauranga’s largest shopping centres, and connections to Rotorua, Auckland, and the Waikato.

    CAR GARAGING

DOWNLOAD INFO PACK

Dual-gated entries and driveways offer options for a main and secondary service gate. Both driveways enter the motor court via a pass-through in the garaging walkway. Beyond the four-bay garaging and motor court parking with its central fountain, the driveway continues to the rear of the property and an ideally sited 3-bay American Barn.

Enter from the covered verandah into a large entrance hall, with Jotul wood burner, a lift, and stairwell atrium with its massive stained glass exterior wall. This central location serves up access to both ends of the house and acts as a pass-through to the outdoor living areas on the north side of the home.

Passing a cloakroom, powder room, utility room and laundry, one reaches the ground floor’s east end with a large country kitchen with capacious walk-in pantry, ample storage, pass-through windows and French door access to the verandah.

Off the kitchen/dining area, bathed in light through ample glazing, sits a family room with another Jotul wood burner, a large window seat, and views to the garden, the property’s entry, and the pool area.

West from the entrance hall, one passes a large office featuring a bay window frontage with views to the pool and crafted cabinetry. The hallway continues onto a grand lounge and library area with garden views and verandah access. Off the library end of this room is a dedicated cinema and equipment room. A games room opens off the lounge end, and, like the office, is memorable for its substantial bay window frontage, this time facing west and capturing private garden views and the afternoon sun.

Upstairs, a master suite occupies the entire west end and offers separate his and hers dressing rooms, a hobby room, a large ensuite and a spectacular master bedroom that’s octagon in shape.

The significant remainder of the first floor provides two very large ensuited family bedrooms, each with walk-in wardrobes. Two guest bedrooms share a bathroom, and one of these bedrooms opens to a sizable storeroom which could enjoy a number of alternative uses.

The house and garage attic storge spaces offer considerable storage or additional living areas ideal for children/teens.

The many details throughout the home are best appreciated in person but include Burmese ironwood timber flooring, stained glass windows, the solid plaster ceilings with unique decorative cornices, Victorian wall panelling, double-glazed sash windows, and a fascinating array of fittings and fixtures, old and new, sourced from all over the world.

The home offers modern levels of comfort and technology, including a 38 solar panel array with three battery walls and solar/electric hot water.

Outdoor living has been prioritised and is well positioned. One of the largest residential pools in the region is supported by a considerable pool house with an outdoor shower, pool equipment room, his and hers changing rooms, powder room, storage area and a laundry. A decorative wisteria covered arbour with a solid Macrocarpa outdoor setting sits alongside the pool area.

There is a brick wall enclosed kitchen garden and a sprawling fenced vegetable patch with sixteen raised planter beds and a chicken run. Garden irrigation is supported by 25,000L of collected rainwater.

SHADOWMAP

New Feature

We invite you to try out this recent addition to our marketing platform. Shadowmap is a tool for visualising and understanding how the sun tracks in relation to a property throughout the year.

Important Notes:

  • We’ve tested this against real-life, on-site conditions and it’s generally been very accurate. However, it doesn’t account for the extra sunlight that passes through deciduous trees during the winter months, which in many instances is a significant difference.

  • This tool is most user-friendly on desktop/laptop devices.
