Set against the peaceful beauty of the Te Miro Valley, 1199 Maungakawa Road is a property with a story to tell. Once the original Te Miro School schoolhouse, this remarkable 1900s character villa has been completely renovated, now beautifully paired with a brand-new modern extension to create a home that honours its past while delivering the comforts of contemporary living.

Rich in character and full of charm, the home blends timeless heritage features with fresh, refined interiors and modern functionality. The result is a residence of genuine warmth and individuality, offering four bedrooms, two beautifully appointed bathrooms, and generous spaces designed for both family living and relaxed entertaining.

At the heart of the home, inviting living areas provide both comfort and connection. A separate lounge with wood-burner fire offers a cosy retreat in the cooler months, while the home opens effortlessly to beautiful decking that makes the most of its elevated position and sweeping views across the rural Te Miro Valley. An outdoor fire enhances the atmosphere, creating the perfect setting for long evenings with friends, quiet mornings with coffee, or simply soaking in the beauty of the landscape in every season.

This is a property that offers far more than accommodation. It offers soul, history, and a deeply appealing lifestyle. Peaceful and private, yet conveniently located just 15 minutes from Cambridge and only five minutes from the Te Miro Mountain Bike Park, it strikes a rare balance between country calm and everyday accessibility.

1199 Mangakawa Road is an exceptional offering. A beautifully reimagined former schoolhouse, rich in provenance and elevated by thoughtful design, it presents an opportunity to secure a truly special home in one of Te Miro’s most scenic settings.
