Idyllic country retreat
Elevated and private, this 12.24 hectare (more or less) lifestyle property combines panoramic country views, contemporary living, an abundance of space and an income stream for the discerning family or those looking for a smaller, manageable farm.
At the heart of the spacious 316sqm (more or less) family home is a generous kitchen featuring plenty of bench space, ample storage and easy flow to both indoor and outdoor living areas. A second lounge, which can be closed off, provides a quiet space to relax, while an office nook is a convenient spot to jump online or take care of admin tasks yet still be part of the family mix. If you need peace and privacy for working from home, however, then there is space for a separate office.
In summer, throw open the two sets of double doors to enjoy the sunny, north-facing aspect and glorious rural views from your patio and cool off in the secluded in-ground pool. In winter, a freestanding woodburner with heat transfer system and double glazing makes this a warm and comfortable home.
Larger families or those who often play host to extended family or friends will really appreciate having the six bedrooms on offer, one of which links to a separate toilet with hand basin, ideal for guests. Likewise, the self-contained three-bedroom cottage could be utilised as accommodation for visiting family and friends, multi-generational living, as a long-term rental or simply continue the current successful Airbnb business for extra income.
This property has been set up for breeding horses but could be suitable for a variety of stock, with a ring race providing access to 20 paddocks and all supplied with water to troughs. Further infrastructure includes a 4 bay implement shed and haybarn. Water is supplied via gravity feed from a bore pumped to two tanks.
Conveniently located just 11km from the desirable town of Cambridge. The main boat ramp at Lake Karapiro is less than 8km away and Hamilton, Tauranga and Rotorua can all be accessed in under an hour.
