Waikato - Lee

Two bedrooms are rarely as elaborately packaged as this. Architecturally out there and dressed in a stylish combination of claddings, this Leamington retreat boasts a huge 409sqm footprint.

Rusted Corten finishes lend the residence a rustic feel that suits its setting in rambling green surrounds. Sculptural landscaping borrows elements from the cladding and the landscape.

The interiors are sleek and polished with the exception of a striking weathered steel fireplace – a nod to the exterior. Three luxurious bathrooms and three superb living rooms round out the ample floor-plan. The pavilion design clearly defines social and private spaces.

Central to everyday life and entertaining, the capacious open-plan domain rests under raking ceilings. Custom trusses demand attention above, enriching the country feel. Negative detail finishes provide a seamless look throughout.

Glass sliders peel back to the great outdoors, where resort-style luxury awaits, including a spa and swimming pool. A statement home that speaks volumes.
