Set amongst the rich greenery of native bush, this expansive property in Miranda offers both privacy and connection with nature spanning over 14.32 hectares (more or less) that take in the bush outlook and extended views to the Firth of Thames, with the Coromandel Ranges as the backdrop.
The main residence, built in 2002, presents an impressive scale of 326sqm (more or less), combining solid design with thoughtful flow for modern living. Its generous proportions create a home that is equally suited to family life and to hosting guests, with open interiors. The property is surrounded by tracks and mature trees, with several 200 year plus Kauri, all with the added bonus of easy maintenance and a 30 minute bush walk right off your doorstep.
The property also features the established Rataroa Bush Cabin, a separate space currently operating as boutique-style accommodation. This cabin enhances the property’s versatility: to continue operating as accommodation, or as a welcoming space for extended family, friends, or office space, it provides genuine options. Its setting in the bush gives it a sense of retreat while still being closely tied to the main home. Summer nights can be spent soaking in the cedar hot tub and star gazing.
Practical elements have been considered throughout. The home’s design includes ample living areas, separate guest wing (with lounge and kitchenette), and master suite, with two additional double sized bedrooms, family bathroom and office. The home features spaces that invite year-round use. Decks and outdoor zones blend naturally into the surrounding bush and views, encouraging an easy flow between indoors and outdoors for all year round.
Strategically positioned within reach of the Hauraki Plains and North Waikato, this property balances seclusion with access. Miranda’s natural character - known for its birdlife and coastal beauty - adds a subtle heritage layer to the setting, offering a lifestyle shaped by both environment and community. The nearby Firth of Thames is also renowned for its fishing, adding another dimension to the recreational possibilities. For the young ones, the property is in zone for Hauraki Plains College. For the commuters, the property is an hours drive to Hamilton and Auckland.
In its entirety, the property is more than just a home; it’s a place with scale, flexibility, and a strong sense of place in the landscape. The combination of a substantial main home with the additional Rataroa Bush Cabin makes this offering both distinctive and adaptable, appealing to those seeking space, connection with the land, and scope for the future.
