35 Whare Marama Drive Cambridge

Imagine coming home to your own private resort, where spectacular rural views, sophisticated modern living and a heated saltwater pool are all part of everyday life. This exceptional 293 sq m Davies Home, built in 2021 and located within the prestigious Pukekura Estate, delivers an enviable blend of contemporary luxury, effortless entertaining and relaxed semi-rural living, all just minutes from the vibrant heart of Cambridge.

Set on a generous 2,500 sq m large-lot residential section, the home enjoys sweeping views across fields to rolling hills and Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari. Thoughtfully designed for modern family life, it offers an extraordinary sense of space, privacy and retreat while keeping the conveniences of town close to hand.

Step inside and the sense of space and quality is immediate. Cathedral ceilings, high windows and beautiful laminated timber flooring create a light-filled kitchen, dining and living environment that forms the heart of the home. The sophisticated kitchen features a stone island bench, quality appliances, integrated rangehood, induction hob, double fridge/freezer and a walk-in pantry complete with wine fridge. Year-round comfort is assured, with ducted air conditioning, double glazing, full insulation and two infinity gas water heaters.

The living zone flows seamlessly outdoors to an exceptional resort-style entertaining area, a space where summer feels like a permanent holiday. Take a dip in the 37,000-litre pool, relax in the spa or entertain beneath the covered portico and stylish cabana, with pull-down screen blinds to create shelter and privacy when required. A Buschbeck pizza oven adds another dimension to outdoor entertaining, making this an idyllic setting for everything from relaxed family afternoons to memorable evenings with friends. The expansive lawns are effortlessly maintained by a robot lawnmower, and a charming playhouse offers a special space for children.

Back inside, a separate lounge/media room opens directly to the pool area, creating an inviting second living space and a private retreat at the end of the day. A dedicated office, luxurious tiled family bathroom, guest powder room, separate laundry with walk-in linen cupboard, and gym with exterior access add practicality and flexibility.

Upstairs, the master suite is a private sanctuary. A spectacular picture window frames rural and mountain views, while the beautifully appointed tiled ensuite features dual vanities, a bath, rain shower and screened skylight. A generous fitted walk-through wardrobe and TV complete this luxurious retreat.

An additional bedroom wing downstairs provides excellent separation and versatility, with two double bedrooms, a sunny children’s play area and a separate exterior entrance. A guest double bedroom enjoys direct access to the pool and patio, ideal for visitors or extended family.

The insulated and carpeted internal-access double garage and extensive concrete driveway provide plenty of room for family vehicles, a motorhome or boat, particularly appealing with Lake Karapiro only five minutes away.

Despite its peaceful, semi-rural atmosphere, this remarkable property is wonderfully connected to everything Cambridge has to offer. Leamington Village is 2.5km away and it is only 4.2km to the town centre, placing cafés, restaurants, boutique shopping and everyday amenities within easy reach. Zoned for Leamington School, Cambridge Middle School and Cambridge High School.

Homes offering this calibre of construction, generous landholding, exceptional outdoor living and proximity to Cambridge are rarely available. With the option to move in before Christmas, your own private resort could be ready for summer!
