12 Blue Marlin Drive Kerikeri, Far North District

17 days on the market and the property has sold prior to auction.

As you sweep in via the horseshoe driveway, you know you've arrived at a very special property. The gardens are mature and designed to create a sub-tropical haven. Not only are the grounds private but there's a stunning home of approx. 313m2 to compliment the beautiful grounds.

The living spaces feature cathedral ceilings made from locally sourced timber and the house is positioned to invite the Kerikeri sun to stream in. The property also features a solar hot water system to decrease those power bills.
