I have the green eyed monster on my shoulder now. :mrgreen:

Thank you for sharing that.

Thought I'd post the view from our new house (from lounge, dining room, our bedroom & the deck & patio) - its pretty much my dream view (and dream house!). I can't work out how to incorporate the pic onto the post so have saved it to an album...

It doesn't seem to work when you click on the link in this post so you have to copy & paste it - I'm having a mare with technology today!!

Fab place soon2bakiwi-homeowner :cheers :clap :clap

[Soon2baKiwi]

Thanks Moorf - still think your's is a cracker though. I was looking at your weblog today - it's really good :nice1

[Moorf]

We could house-swap for the hols :mrgreen:

A forum house-swap arrangement - get to see the rest of NZ cheaper and know you have decent peeps in your house :nice1

[Timbo]

Moorf, you are a genius. That could prove to be a great way of doing things. Why not try and compile a list of those will to take part.

[Mildred]

But you'd have to take your own bin liners if you're going to Moorfs :laugh

[Soon2baKiwi]

Moorf, you are a genius. That could prove to be a great way of doing things. Why not try and compile a list of those will to take part.

That sounds like a good idea you know. Auckland to ????? who knows? :exit

[sarahw]

Soon2baKiwi - what a great view!!! Your house looks great! Enjoy! :nice1

[Timbo]

Tinted double glazing AND gas heating/water. PURE HEAVEN.

ohhh nice - a bit like a mystery tour house, one picture looked a bit like a tree house?

I suppose i will have to get used to having grass again to mow if we get a place in the county :laugh

Nice one Debs

but have you noticed on photo 3 the bag piper or is it a Viking from Dannevirke come to have a look:laugh

Jo

[Smiler]

Oh err missus, I was too busy looking at the price of the house. :laugh
I think it's Mr Dannevirke Universe 1941.

D

[kiwidebs]

Sharp eyes Jo (I had to really look to see him).

How funny :laugh :laugh. Maybe it was a ghost and the show home is haunted???

Debs

[Timbo]

Splendid isolation anyone?

[jubjub]

Nice on timbo, may look like a barn from the outside, but the inside is lovely & modern.

Hubby would like that garden with the veggie patch all organised for him!

[Timbo]

Anyone looking for a home plus income could do a lot worse than this one. It is near Thames Diny.

Would be interested to find out what this one goes for in the end. Anybody down Gisborne way?

I'm in Gizzy :)

Whataupoko is a 'good' area (Live there myself! - though we are selling too) I'll try and find out what it goes for, but I'd imagine $350,000 $400,000 ish (property is really taking off here lately)

Here's mine if you are interested!

http://www.open2view.com/Property/113609?searchid=8306743&offset=0

[Timbo]

I am reaching for my cheque book right now voice. That is just stunning. I wantTHAT one. Me thinks I may need a lottery win this week to afford it somehow though. Do you mind telling why you are selling up?

[Voice]

Lol thanks. Yeah we love it too, and the only reason that we are moving at all is because with two teenagers it's a bit small. We knew it would be when we bought it but we desperately wanted something nice (and of our own) to settle into. We are having a new house built which will be ready in February (still in Gisborne)

PS - It's in the same price range (ish) as the one you posted ;)

[Bubbles]

Two absolutely gorgeous properties. I want one of them, don't mind which.
Let me know which one you settle for Timbo. ;)

John

[baboonworld]

Dont forget about all the painting weatherboard needs!!!

[Voice]

You've little choice in Gisborne I'm afraid! It's that or stucco, which also needs painting :)

[kiwidebs]

They look lovely. *sigh* - don't think we'll be able to afford anything that nice in Auckland. Good luck with the house sale Voice.

Debs

[Voice]

Thanks Debs, we have an offer, but it's not quite what we wanted (when is it?!) and they have to sell too, so house stays on the market until they do. We have two more viewings tomorrow, so you never know :nice1

[Voice]

Wahay! We sold our house today :raebanana

The new house won't be finished until early February so we have a long settlement (for NZ anyway!) and can get Christmas out of the way before we move.

[Singel]

Wahay! We sold our house today :raebanana

CONGRATULATIONS !!!
...............more dancing bananas :raebanana :raebanana :raebanana

Look forward to see the pics of your new house.

[Smiler]

Yehayyyyy!!! Congratulations. :clap :clap


Oh and a :raebanana :raebanana or two.

Timbo, looks like it was passed in at auction and is now on the market with another company for $335,000

Edit: the link no longer works so I've removed it.

[katandbob]

well got a call to say that NZIS rang Rob to organise his interview...monday 12noon. :raebanana

then I got an email from Baileys....with my ideal dream property.....now all i'd need would be staff to run it!! :laugh
http://www.bayleys.co.nz/201235

soo glad its friday :nice1

Kat

[gil]

Wow!! Congratulations on the interview!! :clap Don't think about it over the weekend and good luck for Monday! :yes
How many staff? Perhaps there'd be jobs for some of the forumites who need an offer...
Gil

[smitjo]

WOW - I'll run the place for you!! It looks AMAZING - where is it??

Jo

[katandbob]

heres a link to the area, http://www.manawatunz.co.nz/Pages/AboutManawatu/Maps.php

yeah, I think it will go for a tremendous price, but for the right people they would be able to make a mint, I would love to have a place like that and hold events such as dressage competitions and eventing...were all entitled to our dreams :laugh

but there again I havent checked my lottery ticket from the euro millions last night............. ;) .

[jubjub]

http://www.emale.co.nz/listingview.php?listingID=584

how about this one then?

We could sell ours, and move there, and be no worse off..... but I hear its windy, so maybe I won't bother. :)

[foolsgold99]

If it was an hour closer to welly, then I'd suggest we buy it. but if it was an hour closer to welly we couldn't afford it.

[katandbob]

funny....I read "Dunolly is surrounded by the Famous 15,000 acre Glenburn Station. Glenburn is owned by an American investment group for rest and relaxation. There are more and more rural land areas around New Zealand being purchased by overseas people as they appreciate the natural beauty."

and I get the shivers! who thinks in 20yrs time there'll be an estate on it!......well I will try to be positive and hope not!

Kat with a dream of owning something similar one day..... :nice1

[Moorf]

Seems it has returned to NZ ownership after quite a few hot disputes about the American owners - not sure this is the haven of peace and tranquility it first appears :uhoh - there's a few articles on Google...

[Bubbles]

We still really like this one. its been on the market for a while now, maybe its still a bit over priced. looks great though :D

[Marie P]

WOW ..........Gorgeous house.

We went house hunting yesterday ,an estate agent adopted us and took us to see lots of different houses ,some not even on the market yet .

But we are thinking of finding a section and having one built as all the new houses we have seen are on quite small sections ,Ivy and Tony showed us around Wattle cove ,which was lovely but again the gardens are not as big as we would like .

For the past one year, whenever we go for our one-hour coastal walk from our home, we have to stop and admire this magnificent and posh house from the outside. Now it is up in the market for sales and finally I could see the inside of the house :raebanana

.......................too big for 2 person though :p

[Avalon]

You would need to wear a forensics suit to walk round it though! Just think of the crisis from spilling your coffee !!!!

[zardell]

I have to say, its a beautiful house, but somehow, I can't see it being a 'home'

Well, I for one wouldn't fancy trying to keep it clean !!

Julie

[willsken]

Don't know what your all on about - I could very easily imagine myself living there! :laugh

[mossum]

I like the corner jaccuzi bath with the 2 big windows looking over the water...............what a luxury !!!
Of course, with a glass of red (Oooophs ! :no) white wine :yes..............mmmmmmmmmm ( day dreaming :uhoh )

















( need to hire an army of maids :D )

[Smiler]

Crikey how many sofa's and dining tables do you need in one house. Its the brick version of the porn stars motorhome.:D


I bet they don't have kids looking at the shine on the fridge door or if they do they keep them outside!

[Moorf]

Yeah, that word about sums that place up..... pornographic.

It's obscene!

*insert puking emoticon that I can't find here*

[Simon & Emily]

My two could make it look far more homely within 30 seconds, with muddy footprints, chocolate fingers and a trail of dirty clothes leading to the pool ....

Do you thing anyone has ever lived there, or just kept it as a showhome?

Emily

[jubjub]

Hmm, lovely actual house, but all that gold is bit over the top! Its even in the kitchen.....

As for the white, it looks nice, but the collie would soon make it fur coloured with all his hairs!

[wanderingoregonian]

this is more my style:
http://www.open2view.com/Property/126180

I love the circle windows with the trees outside and the different levels...

[Moorf]

Now that's bloomin' lovely!! Just our style! Except that rather spooky painting of a horse with human legs.... that's just freaky! :uhoh

[Smiler]

How spooky! I was looking at this one online this morning. :nice1

[willsken]

Very nice house indeed!

Quite right about the horse though, how horrible, that picture turned my stomach :confused:

[wanderingoregonian]

Didn't notice the horse painting last night... did this morning thought. i acutally dreamed about this house while I slept last night, only to wake to emails stating jobs I had inquired about are already filled. oh well:) I'll keep dreaming ;)

[baboonworld]

u r right about that horse!! urgh!
