Character, Space & More - Home, Dwelling & Studio

This 1930s character homestead presents a genuinely rare opportunity on the doorstep of Hamilton. Set across approximately 1.1995Ha (Subject to title), the property brings together a character-filled main residence, a separate two-bedroom dwelling and the purpose-built recording studio - all surrounded by established grounds, grazing and a peaceful semi-rural setting just beyond the city boundary.

Rich in the charm of its era, the main home has had some updates over time while retaining lots of the features that give a property like this its personality. High stud ceilings, polished native timber floors and beautiful timber detailing create warmth throughout, complemented by generous proportions and an easy, relaxed feel. At the heart of the home, the country-style kitchen connects naturally with the open-plan dining and living area, creating a welcoming everyday hub for family life.

A second substantial living room provides even more space to spread out, making the home particularly well suited to families or those who enjoy entertaining. Along the northern side, a covered veranda and expansive decking create an inviting extension of the living spaces and a wonderful place to sit back, entertain or simply enjoy the privacy of the established surroundings.

Outside, mature landscaping and generous lawns provide a real sense of seclusion. There is plenty of room for children and pets to play, while the contoured land provides grazing options or those simply wanting the freedom and space that comes with a lifestyle property. Stand-alone shedding provides valuable additional storage, and there is an abundance of off-street parking.

Adding another dimension entirely is the separate second dwelling. Finished in Colour steel cladding and presented in tidy condition, it offers two bedrooms and open-plan living, along with a former garage that has been converted into a workshop space. With its own parking and a degree of separation from the main home, it lends itself perfectly to extended family, guests or an additional income stream.

Then there is the purpose-built recording studio that makes this property particularly unique. Currently operating as a commercial sound studio, the facility has been designed with dedicated mixing, live and dead rooms, air-conditioning, a kitchenette, shower, toilet and a separate lounge. Generous dedicated parking further adds to its usability and potential.

Despite the feeling of space and privacy, the location remains remarkably convenient. Rotokauri School sits opposite, while Lake Rotokauri, Hamilton Zoo and the Observatory are all close by, with Hamilton itself virtually on your doorstep. It is an increasingly hard-to-find combination of lifestyle living without giving up the convenience of the city.

Whether you are searching for a substantial family lifestyle, room for multiple generations, additional rental income, a home-and-business opportunity or simply something completely different from the everyday, this is a property that offers an extraordinary amount of flexibility.

Please Note: The property is currently tenanted with tenants who have indicated they would love to stay on. To respect the privacy of the tenants and their business, viewing times are limited. Contact Blair Pointon or Paula Wenham today to arrange access or further information.
