Capturing the natural beauty of Pararekau Island, 38 Severina Drive offers an exceptional waterfront lifestyle just moments from the mainland. Positioned on the peaceful semi-rural fringes of Karaka - only three minutes to the motorway and approximately 33 kilometres from Auckland CBD - this private, secure gated island community delivers the perfect balance of tranquillity and convenience.

Native bush and birdsong frame sweeping northwest water views, creating a true retreat-like setting. Designed with a refined linear aesthetic, the expansive 336sqm (approx) home offers superb light, scale, and flow. Five generous bedrooms and three separate living areas provide flexibility for growing families and effortless entertaining.

An impressive atrium-style foyer with halo pendant chandelier opens into vast open-plan living, anchored by a striking fireplace wall. Floor-to-ceiling sliders connect seamlessly to substantial decking and outdoor entertaining areas, where sunset waterscapes become part of everyday life. The designer kitchen forms the heart of the home, complete with a generous island, walk-in pantry, seamless integration with dining and living zones.

Upstairs, a second lounge with wet bar flows to a covered loggia, ideal for year-round gatherings. Each of the five bedrooms features its own fully tiled ensuite, including a ground-floor guest suite with deck access and four luxurious upstairs retreats - three with walk-in wardrobes.

Set on a flat 679sqm (approx) section, the property includes generous forecourt parking, double internal-access garaging, a separate laundry, and ample storage. Surrounded by scenic walkways and cycle tracks and bordering a protected six-hectare native bush reserve, this island sanctuary blends natural beauty with modern comfort.

With mains services and ultra-fast fibre connected, and just minutes to the motorway, local shops, and quality schooling, this remarkable home truly offers the best of both worlds. This is more than a home, it's a lifestyle.
