About this property
Sims & Co Realty is delighted to present 638 Rapanui Road—an exceptional executive residence of rare calibre, where space, sophistication, and lifestyle converge. Seldom do properties of this scale and finish come to market, and rarer still in such a sought-after coastal–country setting. Presented in immaculate condition, this is a home designed to impress at every level.
From the moment you arrive through the schist pillared entrance, along the gently curved, paved drive, the sense of quality is unmistakable. Bathed in sunshine and natural light, the home offers multiple formal and informal living areas, thoughtfully arranged to accommodate extended family living with ease.
The open-plan kitchen and dining area forms the heart of the home, flowing seamlessly into a secondary entertaining zone complete with its own kitchenette—currently enjoyed as a billiards room and ideal for hosting on any scale.
The kitchen itself is a statement in contemporary design, featuring high-gloss cabinetry, stainless steel benchtops, and a striking central island that invites connection and conversation. The formal lounge with its striking stone fireplace, provides warmth and ambience, offering a refined retreat for quieter moments. The central informal lounge invites the outdoors in.
Accommodation is generous and well-considered. Five bedrooms are complemented by a dedicated home office, ideal for work-from-home living. The master suite is a sanctuary of its own, complete with a large tiled ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. Four additional bedrooms are serviced by a beautifully tiled family bathroom and a separate toilet. Climate control is assured year-round with two ducted air-conditioning systems, a wood burner, and double glazing throughout.
Outdoors, the property continues to impress. Expansive, flat grazing paddocks surround the home, while the location places you within close proximity to the Bason Botanic Gardens and the sweeping coastline of Kai Iwi Beach. Manicured gardens frame the residence beautifully, creating a setting that is both refined and serene. An above-ground pool offers welcome refreshment on warm summer days.
The pièce de résistance is undoubtedly the extraordinary outdoor entertaining areas. Flowing effortlessly from multiple rooms, these spaces have been masterfully crafted with exquisite attention to detail. An outdoor fireplace, premium finishes, and a sense of architectural harmony elevate these zones to something truly special—an entertainer's dream executed by a master craftsman.
Practicality has not been overlooked. The home features a double internal-access garage, along with a large tandem carport adjoining a private courtyard complete with an outdoor oven and pizza oven. A further detached double garage with twin carport provides exceptional options for car enthusiasts, storage, or additional work-from-home space. Garden sheds, wood sheds, lean-tos, and multiple outbuildings complete this remarkably well-appointed property.
638 Rapanui Road is a residence of substance and distinction—an exquisite lifestyle offering, where luxury, land, and location align seamlessly. This is more than a home; it is a statement.
