A Little Bit of Country A Whole Lot of Possibility

Just four kilometres from the heart of Waiuku, where village charm meets everyday convenience, lies a property with the space, versatility and character to live a life a little differently.

Set across approximately 3.5 flat acres, this much-loved home has been created and cared for by its current owners since the 1990s, and today presents an exciting opportunity for those looking for more than just a house and garden.

Spread across two levels, the home offers six bedrooms ( or 5 + study ) and two bathrooms, with the configuration providing plenty of flexibility for family living, guests, working from home or simply giving everyone their own space.

Upstairs, two bedrooms including the master with spacious walk in robe and its own west facing balcony accompany the main living spaces, where the home really comes into its own. A practical kitchen with accompanying walk in pantry opens into the living room and dining area with its own east facing deck running the width of the home. From the kitchen enjoy fabulous sou-westerly views stretching across neighbouring farmland and towards Port Waikato, a wonderful outlook that changes with the seasons and provides a spectacular backdrop to everyday life.

Downstairs, four further bedrooms and the second bathroom provide excellent separation and flexibility while offering potential for separate living. It's a layout that could work beautifully for a growing family, extended family, teenagers wanting their own zone, or those who need dedicated space for hobbies and home-based work.

Internal access single garaging with laundry and carport sitting to the side of the garage for ease of access into the home.

And then there is the shedding.

For those who need somewhere to work, create, restore, build, store or simply pursue a serious hobby, this is where the property really starts to distinguish itself. The huge workshop with 3 phase power on a seperate meter offers an extraordinary amount of space and possibility. Cars, mechanical work, engineering, machinery, boat or vehicle storage, a workshop-based business, the options are limited more by imagination than by available space.

The approximately 3.5 acres are currently planted in established chestnut trees, providing not only a beautiful rural setting but also a small income stream for the owners. Flat, usable land of this nature, so close to Waiuku, is increasingly difficult to find.

And the location? It's wonderfully positioned for enjoying the best of the wider Waiuku lifestyle. Just minutes from the village centre with its charming selection of cafés and eateries, New World and schooling from primary through to secondary, while the coast and countryside are equally within easy reach. Karioitahi Beach is close enough for spontaneous beach days, while the Awhitu Peninsula beckons with its rugged coastline, rolling farmland, walks, vineyards and magnificent west coast sunsets.

This is a property for someone who wants room to breathe and room to do.

A place where the kids can have space to roam, where the workshop can become a business or passion project, where the trees can provide a modest return, and where the evening can finish with a glass of something good while watching the sun disappear across the western horizon.

Three flat acres. Five bedrooms plus study. Two bathrooms. Fabulous rural and western views. Huge shedding. Established chestnut trees. And a location that puts Waiuku, the coast and the Awhitu Peninsula all within easy reach.

Some properties are designed simply to live in.

This one gives you the opportunity to build a lifestyle around it.
