Featuring a 3-bedroom home and the original 380 sqm Te Roti Cheese Factory, set across 9,679 sqm of land, this unique property offers a rare chance to own a piece of local history.
The 120 sqm home, clad in roughcast and built in the 1940s for the factory manager, carries the warmth and craftsmanship of its era. Native Rimu timber features throughout, complemented by an open-plan kitchen and living area, three double bedrooms, a bathroom with both a separate shower and bath, and a separate laundry. A Metro wood burner fireplace, heat transfer system, and heat pump ensure year-round comfort, and the ceiling is insulated. The roof was replaced approximately 12 years ago. A detached double garage with automatic doors provides additional storage and parking.
The home is serviced by a UV-filtered fresh spring water supply with a 5,000-litre holding tank, as well as a septic tank.
The original Te Roti Cheese Factory was first built in 1886. After it burnt down, a new factory was rebuilt in 1917 and later decommissioned in 1965. It still remains a striking presence in the local area. This double-storey structure is constructed from roughcast concrete with steel reinforcing and offers immense potential for restoration or repurposing. A separate, watertight room within the factory presents an ideal space for a home office or studio. Although there is no power to the factory, there is running water.
The grounds once held a thriving rhododendron garden, now waiting to be brought back to life. Abundant fruit trees surround the property, and native birds are often heard and seen within the gardens. This property offers both historic significance and creative possibilities.
This property is also zoned for Matapu School, a highly sought-after and well-regarded school within the local community.
252 Boylan Road is more than a home - it's a legacy, ready for its next chapter.
