With expansive views across the neighbouring reserve and a coveted position at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this thoughtfully designed Hayward Home offers a lifestyle defined by privacy, sunshine and a strong connection to its surroundings. Designed and constructed in 2020, the property is distinguished by its contemporary design and seamless relationship with the landscape beyond.

Bathed in natural light, the home is designed to make the most of its surroundings. Elevated ceilings, 2.2m doorways and well-positioned windows enhance the feeling of space throughout, framing a richly layered outlook where native bush takes centre stage, complemented by a glimpse of the ocean to one side and the hillside to the other.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen, dining and living spaces come together with effortless ease. The contemporary kitchen serves as the hub of daily life, centred around a generous island with breakfast bar and enhanced with a well-appointed scullery complete with its own sink and sensor lighting. Positioned alongside, the dining area sits naturally within the space, while the living area offers a welcoming retreat, softened by plush carpeting and the warmth and ambience of a gas fire. Large sliders frame the outlook, shifting from sunlit native greenery by day to the softly illuminated hillside beyond as evening settles in.

When the sliders are drawn back, entertaining naturally extends outdoors. The substantial multi-level deck becomes an extension of the living space, offering inviting places to gather, relax and soak up the sun, regardless of the time of day. With the land falling away below, the outlook feels almost uninterrupted, creating the sensation of an infinity deck suspended above the reserve. While future owners may choose to create terraced gardens, native planting or additional outdoor spaces, the rear section can equally be left as it is to preserve the simplicity of the current setting.

A subtle change in level separates the accommodation wing from the living spaces. All three bedrooms enjoy an outlook across the reserve, while the master suite provides a peaceful retreat, complete with a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and direct access to the lower deck. The family bathroom is equally well considered, with a bath positioned to make the most of the view, and the added convenience of a separate W/C.

Thoughtful technology enhances everyday living, with motorised window coverings operated via both app and manual controls, while lighting, ducted heating and cooling can also be managed remotely. Solar power contributes to everyday efficiency, and a dedicated office adds further flexibility.

Beyond the property itself, Ferndale has earned a reputation as one of Waikanae’s most sought-after communities, valued for its peaceful atmosphere, established surroundings and strong sense of neighbourhood connection. Walking trails meander through the reserve, while the community orchard, playground and open green spaces foster a lifestyle that feels both connected and relaxed.

Peaceful, contemporary and beautifully connected to its surroundings, this is a home that offers the rare combination of modern ease, natural beauty and quiet sophistication.
