Character villa and parklike grounds

Set well back from the road on 6,742 sqm (more or less), this beautifully established villa enjoys wide rural outlooks and a sense of privacy that feels immediately reassuring. Our vendor has genuinely enjoyed their time here and now seeks a change that offers a larger landholding to accommodate for their horses.

Originally built in 1913–14 as the farm homestead, the house carries a strong heritage connection. Constructed by George White with the help of his 13-year-old son, it reflects an era when homes were built with care and intention. Kahikatea milled from the farm by Bagnall’s Sawmill in Turua was used in the original construction, and those materials continue to give the home its warmth and integrity. Thoughtful restoration and ongoing care have ensured the original character remains a defining feature.

Inside, the proportions are generous and inviting. Three-metre stud ceilings (more or less), matai flooring and a wide central hallway create a sense of balance and flow, while north-facing living areas bring in natural light throughout the day. The 204 sqm floor area (more or less) is well suited to family living, offering three large double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a separate lounge. The master bedroom stands out with exceptional wardrobe space, providing a practical yet indulgent touch.

Comfort has been carefully considered, with insulation, double glazing throughout, two heat pumps, two wood burners, a heat transfer system. These features combine to create a home that feels warm and settled in winter and remains comfortable through the summer months.

The grounds reflect the home’s established nature, with original Ti trees complemented by oak, feijoa, grapefruit and lemon trees. A paddock offers space for a few calves, while the front and rear lawns provide ample room for play or the future addition of a swimming pool. A triple-bay garage with workshop, measuring approximately 12 m x 6 m (more or less), offers excellent storage and versatility for vehicles, tools and recreational gear.

Centrally positioned between Auckland, Hamilton and Tauranga, each around an hour’s drive away (more or less), the location combines rural living with regional accessibility. Kopuarahi and Turua primary schools are close by at approximately 2–5 km away (more or less), with a school bus passing the gate to Hauraki Plains College in Ngatea, around 7 km away (more or less). Thames, providing access to the Thames Coast and its well-known fishing and holiday destinations, is approximately 15 km away (more or less).

Offered to the market for the first time in 29 years, this is a property where the groundwork has been done and the setting firmly established. It is a home with presence, history and future potential, ready for its next chapter.
