8,753sqm of space, serenity and lake outlooks

Perfectly positioned in the peaceful lakeside community of Hamurana, this expansive property at 96 Ward Road offers a rare opportunity to secure a generous parcel of land with potential. Resting on 8,753sqm (more or less), the setting is undeniably special - elevated, private, and graced with beautiful views across Lake Rotorua and the surrounding green landscape.

The main dwelling spans 122sqm and provides a solid foundation for enhancement. Sunlight filters warmly into the living spaces through large picture windows, drawing the eye out toward the gardens, mature plantings, and the lake outlook. While the interiors are ready for modernisation, the layout offers excellent bones: a spacious lounge, dining area, functional kitchen, three bedrooms, and a conservatory (unpermitted) that invites year-round enjoyment of the natural surroundings.

The real magic lies in the possibilities. With such a substantial landholding, there is room to imagine future landscaping, extended outdoor living, or even reconfiguring the existing footprint to create a more contemporary environment. The peaceful position - moments from the lakefront and close to the cherished Hamurana Springs - ensures the lifestyle rewards will be well worth the effort.

Adding further value is the charming one-bedroom cottage. Although not currently connected to plumbing or sewerage, it is fitted out and ready to be transformed into a guest space, studio, home office, or accommodation for multigenerational living (subject to council consent).

Ample shedding complete the picture, ensuring ample storage for vehicles, tools, and lake toys - the perfect complement to life in this sought-after lifestyle enclave.

For those with vision, ambition, and an appreciation for location, this property offers the chance to create something truly special. The position cannot be replicated, and the scope for improvement is as exciting as the views themselves. 96 Ward Road is ready for its next chapter - a home with potential as wide as the land it sits on.
