Property details

Listing # TAL218491 | Listed on 22 January
  • 4 bed, 2 bath bespoke homestead
  • 2 bedroom cottage with internal garage (resource consent as workshop studio)
  • 2.5 Ha freehold land


Just minutes from the heart of Te Aroha, this exceptional lifestyle property offers a compelling blend of privacy, productivity and potential - a setting equally suited to refined country living or complementary home-based and commercial pursuits.

Spanning approximately six acres of predominantly flat land and bordering the Waihou River, the property enjoys a peaceful rural outlook with the rare bonus of river access - a natural backdrop for relaxed afternoons, fishing, or simply unwinding in nature.

The main residence is generous in scale yet thoughtfully grounded, with soaring cathedral ceilings creating an immediate sense of space, balanced by the warmth of a wood burner and open-plan living. Designed for long-term comfort, the home features a ground-floor master suite complete with walk-in wardrobe, ensuite, and direct access to the outdoor living area - ideal for ease of living now and into the future. Upstairs, additional bedrooms, an office and storage provide flexibility for families, guests or work-from-home requirements, while a dedicated workshop space within the home reflects the property’s creative and functional heritage. Built with plastered Firth block and a concrete floor, the home benefits from solid construction and natural thermal efficiency. North-facing outdoor living spaces invite year-round enjoyment, whether hosting friends or enjoying a quiet moment overlooking the established grounds.

Complementing the homestead is a standalone secondary dwelling, originally consented as a workshop studio and now configured as a two-bedroom cottage with internal-access garaging - offering excellent options for extended family, guest accommodation, or income potential (subject to council requirements).

Well set up for lifestyle farming, the land is divided into six paddocks with stock yards at the gate, an implement shed with separate road access, and has easily supported cattle, pigs and poultry with ease.

This is a property of substance, versatility and genuine lifestyle appeal - a rare opportunity to secure a private yet well-connected rural holding with room to live, work and grow.
