Nestled on 9,110m² ( more or less ) in Whitbourne Heights, with a rural and golf-course backdrop, this 240m² Ōtorohanga lifestyle property brings together the three-bedroom main home, a separate one-bedroom home, three bathrooms, a study and double garaging, with broad lawns and rural outlooks giving everyday life a little more breathing room.

Inside the main home, the open-plan kitchen, dining area and family area form a sociable hub, with timberlook flooring, generous bench space, a breakfast bar and pantry making it easy to move from school-morning breakfasts to relaxed dinners. Doors open to the covered patio, while the separate lounge gives you another place to unwind. A wood burner adds welcome warmth through the cooler months.

The master bedroom has its own ensuite, walk-in wardrobe and outdoor access, while a further bedroom and the guest room sit near the main bathroom and separate WC. The study gives work-from-home days a dedicated spot and the separate laundry keeps household jobs tucked away. The second home adds another bedroom, bathroom and generous living area with kitchenette facilities, offering useful flexibility for guests, extended family or more independent living.

Outside, the setting earns its lifestyle credentials. Wide lawns, mature planting, fenced garden areas and open green outlooks leave plenty of room for gardening, outdoor games for kids, pets, or a quiet coffee under the covered patio.

A gated entry, a sweeping driveway and double garage take care of vehicles and all the extra gear that comes with country life.

Ōtorohanga’s main-street shops and cafés, Memorial Pool, local reserves and the Ōtorohanga Kiwi House are all within easy reach, while Waitomo Caves Village is around a 15-minute drive from town. If you’ve been looking for rural breathing room while keeping town life handy, Shaun Smith would love to show you through. No open homes viewing by appointment only.
