63 Waipipi Wharf Road, Waiuku, Franklin

Golden lifestyle opportunity

Privately positioned less than 10 minutes from Waiuku, this exceptional lifestyle property offers the perfect balance of rural tranquility and town convenience. On the market for the first time, this solid brick and tile family residence is a true haven for those seeking space, comfort, and versatility.

Set on a gently contoured 6.9808ha (approx. 17 acres more or less), there's room here for everyone - from kids and pets to hobby farmers and home-based businesses.

The thoughtfully designed home features a spacious layout ideal for modern family living. The master suite is tucked away in its own private wing with walk-in wardrobe, ensuite, and direct access to a private deck area. The open-plan kitchen is the heart of the home, complete with excellent storage, breakfast bar, and a seamless connection to the dining area and main lounge. Step outside to a large entertaining deck with elevated views over the garden, paddocks, and beyond - perfect for alfresco dining and relaxed evenings with family and friends under the stars.

At the opposite end of the home, you'll find three additional double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a second family room - ideal as a kids' retreat or guest space. A separate laundry and double internal access garage complete the home.

Outside, the lifestyle possibilities are endless. The land is divided into eight paddocks, well suited for grazing, horses, or stock. If you're looking for serious shedding, this property delivers: a huge 13m x 12m 'man cave' built just six years ago includes ample space for cars or hobbies, complete with a lounge, bar area, and mezzanine floor. For those in need of farm functionality, there's a large barn fitted with six calf pens with the potential to rear up to 40 calves for additional income, or ideal as day yards for equestrian use, plus an additional farm shed with a roller door. Stock handling is made easy with on-site yards and a loading race. Water is well catered for, with a tank servicing the home and a bore supplying the farm.

There's also potential to explore an additional title (subject to council consent), adding future flexibility or value.

With access to the Waiuku River just at the end of the road and the vibrant Waiuku township nearby, this location offers the best of both worlds - peaceful rural living with easy access to schools, shops, recreational facilities, boat ramps, and the stunning Awhitu Peninsula beaches.

Whether you're downsizing from a larger farm, dreaming of a horse haven, or simply dreaming of the ultimate lifestyle property - this one delivers on all fronts.
