521B Kauaeranga Valley Road, Thames, Thames-Coromandel

Exceptional valley haven

Located in the popular Kauaeranga Valley, this sublimely secluded property of 31.8200 hectares (more or less) has commanding views over the Coromandel Ranges.

This 18 year old architecturally designed home oozes charm and character which is evident in the quality recycled native timber used throughout with Totara joinery and magnificent Kauri flooring. The open plan living dining kitchen area is a blend of style and space allowing for intimate family get-togethers or larger style occasions. Winter nights can be enjoyed around the Coromandel stone open fire. The expansive bi-fold doors allow for fantastic indoor-outdoor flow to both the north facing wrap around deck or the quaint courtyard which is set in a charming garden with views across the valley.

The three well-proportioned bedrooms enjoy incredible views of both valley and ranges. The master bedroom has an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe and the further two bedrooms with the family bathroom allow for independent living at the end of the home to meet the needs of extended or large families. Added accommodation can be found in the separate sleepout which has a mezzanine bedroom, a bathroom and woodburning stove. The sleepout has been successfully used as a B&B catering mainly to hikers heading to the well renowned Pinnacles Track.

There is extensive shedding suitable for a home-based business and storage for a boat and the equipment needed to run a functional lifestyle block. A forested area of 8.6 hectares is eligible for the Emissions Trading Scheme which has generated a passive income of $10,000 in the past year. The land also supports a Scion-initiated Kauri growth trial with Kauri seed sales becoming a growing source of income. The disused airstrip forms part of the grazing area which supports 12 beef heifers.

Our owners have thoroughly enjoyed over 20 years on this amazing property and have decided to downsize, leaving the door open for you to enjoy and continue the stewardship of this unique country haven.
