Set at the end of a long, tree‑lined driveway and surrounded by birdsong and natural beauty, this enchanting lifestyle retreat offers the perfect escape from the pace of urban life — all within an easy drive of Hamilton and Tamahere’s sought‑after amenities. Bordering the DOC reserve, the property enjoys a rare sense of privacy and serenity, with expansive grounds that invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and savour the rhythm of country living.
Spread across 26,080 sqm, the land is beautifully laid out for those who love space, animals, and the outdoors. Eight well‑fenced paddocks and a sand arena provide an exceptional environment for horses, while gently manicured lawns and gardens create a picturesque backdrop for family life. A substantial 200 sqm shed — complete with a three‑bay garage, extra‑height storage for boats or horse floats, and a versatile workshop or studio — caters effortlessly to hobbyists, collectors, and those who simply need room to create.
At the heart of the property stands a warm and welcoming four‑bedroom family home, rich in character and crafted for comfort. High ceilings, exposed beams, and generous glazing create an airy, inviting atmosphere, while the wood‑burning fireplace anchors the family room with rustic charm. The open‑plan living and dining spaces flow seamlessly to the outdoors, where classic entertaining areas, expansive lawns, and a heated swimming pool set the scene for long summer days and relaxed gatherings.
The country kitchen, laundry, and bathrooms blend practicality with timeless rural style, featuring timber benchtops and traditional tiling that speak to the home’s enduring appeal. Upstairs, the master suite offers a peaceful retreat with its own private balcony capturing sweeping rural views, along with a walk‑in wardrobe and ensuite. Two additional bedrooms and generous roof storage complete the upper level.
Connected by a sheltered veranda, a fully self‑contained one‑bedroom cottage provides exceptional versatility — ideal as a teenager’s retreat, guest accommodation, or a rental opportunity as currently enjoyed by the owners.
Perfectly positioned within minutes of Tamahere Country School, the Farmer’s Market, and Hamilton city, this property delivers the best of both worlds: a peaceful rural sanctuary with all the convenience of nearby urban amenities.
For those seeking a lifestyle rich in space, character, and possibility — with equestrian facilities, generous workshop infrastructure, and a warm, rustic family home — this exceptional retreat invites you to discover a life well lived.
