Positioned in a desirable lifestyle location, this beautifully presented 2.5 hectare (6.18 acre) property of flat to gentle contour land delivers the perfect balance of refined family living and peaceful rural surroundings, all within easy reach of Pukekohe township and motorway access, while being zoned Rural. Set behind electric gates, a sealed driveway with feature lighting and a turning circle provides easy access to both the home and barn. Originally built in the 1980s and extensively renovated in recent years, the 240 square metre (approx) solid brick and tile home with plaster and paint finish blends quality construction with modern comfort, enhanced by double glazing, ducted air conditioning, LED lighting, and thoughtful upgrades throughout. Our vendors have thoroughly enjoyed living here for the past 16 years and are now looking to downsize for retirement.
Entry flows into open-plan living, where a contemporary kitchen designed for both daily life and entertaining features engineered stone benchtops with a waterfall bench, Blum hardware, Bosch induction appliances, Hansgrohe tapware and a Vintec wine cooler. The adjoining sunlit family room offers built-in speakers, while the inviting dining space is warmed by a cozy gas fireplace. A separate lounge provides a quiet retreat, with both the dining and lounge areas opening through rimu framed glass stacker sliding doors to alfresco entertaining spaces and gardens, all enjoying peaceful rural views across the paddocks.
Four bedrooms include the master suite with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite with floor to ceiling tiles, shower, and wall-hung vanity. The remaining well-appointed bedrooms all include built-in wardrobes. The family bathroom is finished to the same high standard with floor to ceiling tiling, a tiled glass shower, large Villeroy and Boch bath, Hansgrohe tapware and wall-hung vanity, complemented by a separate toilet. A separate laundry offers built-in storage and outdoor access, while the double lock-up garage provides internal access.
Outdoors, the low-maintenance grounds boast mature native rimu and tōtara trees alongside magnolias, prunus, tree ferns, and established exotic plantings, creating a haven for birdlife. Two cascading streams and a tranquil pond add to the property's natural charm, while a gazebo offers a peaceful place to relax and take in the setting. The property also has six paddocks, featuring a mix of post-and-rail, wire-and-batten, and electric fencing, and includes a loading yard. A substantial 72 square metre (approx) barn incorporates a workshop with single-phase power and lighting, as well as a lean-to ideal for storage, farm equipment, hay, and more.
Two 50,000L tanks service the home via a filtration system, while a separate 25,000L supply is dedicated to the barn and stock troughs. A pond-fed irrigation system further supports the gardens and paddocks year-round. The property offers a peaceful rural lifestyle without compromising convenience. Well-regarded schools including Pukekohe High School, Pukekohe Intermediate, and Pukekohe East School are all nearby. Combining lifestyle, comfort, and versatility, this is a property that effortlessly caters to those seeking a premium rural retreat with city convenience close at hand.
