HIDDEN INGLEWOOD RETREAT

Tucked away at the end of Rewa Street, Vista del Monte is a truly special property where impressive architecture meets beautifully established surroundings. Set across 4,455m² alongside the Waiongana-iti Stream, this 457m² home offers privacy, space and a sense of escape rarely found so close to town.

Designed by Standish Hill Design and completed in 1984 by Harvey and Jill Hingston, the multi-level residence has been thoughtfully positioned to make the most of its natural setting and views towards Mt Taranaki.

The grounds are a standout, with mature specimen trees, sweeping lawns, established gardens, fruit trees galore, an orchid house, potting area and garden shed. A charming pergola creates the perfect spot to enjoy the outlook and peaceful surroundings.

The lower level is both practical and impressive, with extensive garaging, generous storage, a hobby or media room and a striking entrance featuring bespoke leadlight glass.
Upstairs, the home opens into bright and spacious living areas, including a country-inspired kitchen with treetop balcony, adjoining dining and lounge spaces, plus a warm and inviting step-down den. Two double bedrooms, the family bathroom and laundry complete this level.

The private master retreat enjoys a garden outlook and direct outdoor access, with a Japanese-inspired walk-through wardrobe and ensuite adding to the sense of luxury.
A spiral staircase leads to the mezzanine above, a versatile space perfect for a home office, creative studio or additional bedroom.

Peaceful, private and filled with character, Vista del Monte is surrounded by nature where birdsong and the babble of the stream are simply part of everyday life, with Mt Taranaki providing an unforgettable backdrop. Come see for yourself, you won’t be disappointed!
