Set in the peaceful countryside of Karapiro, 54 Kentucky Road offers a substantial and beautifully presented home carefully designed to capture all-day sun and sweeping rural views. Resting on 20.3969 hectares of rolling land, the property combines lifestyle appeal with genuine small-farm functionality, all framed by beautifully presented landscaped grounds that enhance its inviting presence.
Inside, the home boasts a light and spacious interior, with generous living areas that create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. A log burner adds cosy ambience during the cooler months, anchoring the central living space as a place to gather and unwind. The home includes four well proportioned bedrooms, each designed to maximise sunlight and outlooks, ensuring comfort for both family living and hosting guests. Flowing seamlessly from the living areas, the wrap around decks provide exceptional outdoor living. A large shade sail creates a sheltered entertaining space ideal for alfresco dining, relaxing, or simply enjoying the serene rural views over the rolling land. At the heart of the home, the modern kitchen features quality finishes and a separate scullery with sink, offering excellent storage and preparation space. The practical floorplan is further supported by a large double garage with plenty of storage, a separate laundry, and a spacious dedicated office, accommodating busy households and those working from home. There is also a smaller separate office closer to the kitchen.
Perfect for extended family or continued income generation, the property includes a self-contained two bedroom apartment with its own kitchenette and bathroom. Currently operating as a successful bed and breakfast, this space adds flexibility and value.
For those needing additional storage or workshop capability, the property showcases a well-designed four bay shed 16m x 9m with single and 3 phase power, and water. Two bays are fully enclosed and currently used as a workshop while the remaining two open bays are ideal for housing machinery or equipment. The property offers excellent stock handling functionality, featuring recently renovated stock yards designed for efficiency and ease of use. A well constructed loading race and secure head bail support safe and streamlined animal management. Fencing across the farm is a practical mix of traditional seven wire post and batten and electric three wire setups, providing durability and flexibility for different grazing requirements. The land is divided into 24 paddocks of varying sizes, enabling effective rotational grazing over approximately 17 hectares of grazeable land, (except 1ha in QE2 bush/wetland) of which about 13 hectares are suitable for mowing. This thoughtful layout ensures both productivity and low stress stock movement throughout the property.
The property enjoys an enviable location close to several of the Waikato’s most popular destinations. Hobbiton Movie Set is an easy drive away, making iconic tours and visitor events highly accessible. The Red Barn function centre is also nearby, providing a convenient venue for weddings, corporate events, and celebrations. In addition, Karapiro Domain - well known for its lakefront recreation, rowing events, and scenic outlooks - is within comfortable reach. With the completion of the Cambridge to Piarere Expressway, the current main highway is expected to transition into a quieter secondary road, enhancing local tranquillity while maintaining excellent connectivity to these key attractions.
With its generous scale, versatile facilities, and beautifully presented home, 54 Kentucky Road is an exceptional lifestyle opportunity in one of Karapiro’s most desirable rural locations.
