PEACEFUL, PRIVATE AND PRACTICAL

Tender: Closes on Thursday 3 September 2026 at 3:00PM (unless sold prior)

Tucked away in a peaceful pocket of Tuakau, 178 Dominion Road is a property that offers far more than first meets the eye. With character throughout, beautifully established gardens, substantial shedding and a separate granny flat, this is a property with personality, versatility and plenty of opportunity.

The beautifully presented three-bedroom Fraemohs home has been thoughtfully renovated while retaining the charm that makes it special. The timber walls, arched doorways and character touches throughout give the home a warm and inviting feel, complemented by a modernised kitchen and updated bathrooms and laundry.

At the heart of the home is a superb modern kitchen, complete with a double pyrolytic oven featuring steam and Air Fry functions, a new dishwasher and integrated microwave. It’s practical, modern and ready for everything from everyday family life to entertaining.

Outside is where this property really comes alive. Expansive decking provides the perfect setting for entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings, with roll-out awnings offering shelter when needed. A covered spa area creates another place to unwind, overlooking the beautifully established, park-like gardens. With mature fruit trees and natives, a tranquil fish pond and an abundance of birdlife create a private sanctuary. It's

peaceful, green and remarkably secluded, a place where you can genuinely escape the hustle and bustle.

Adding even more versatility is a separate, very tidy granny flat, ideal for extended family, guests, teenagers, additional accommodation or potential income.

For those needing serious workspace or storage, the shedding is equally impressive. Multiple sheds include car hoists and are perfectly suited to garaging, mechanical work, hobbies or a substantial workshop. With three-phase power already in place, the possibilities are extensive.

The property also retains much of its history as a former orchid nursery. Several greenhouses have been cleverly repurposed by the current owners while retaining much of the original infrastructure, offering an exciting opportunity for those with a green thumb or anyone looking for something a little different.

This is a property that combines character, comfort, functionality and tranquillity in a way that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Whether you're looking for a peaceful lifestyle, room for extended family, a serious workshop, space for hobbies or simply somewhere with a bit of soul, this is an offering that deserves your attention.
