Set across 4.49 hectares (more or less), 498c Waitao Road presents a rare lifestyle opportunity where space, privacy and versatility come together in a beautiful established setting. Tucked well back from the road, the property has an immediate sense of calm and seclusion, with mature plantings, open paddocks and a natural stream weaving through the landscape to create a truly special environment.
The five-bedroom family home, built by Golden Homes, is constructed in timeless brick and double glazed for year-round comfort. Designed with family living in mind, the home features two living areas, providing excellent separation for adults and children alike. The master bedroom is thoughtfully positioned with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, while the remaining bedrooms are serviced by a well-appointed family bathroom. A woodburner creates a cosy atmosphere in winter, complemented by a heat pump and heat transfer system to two bedrooms, ensuring comfort across all seasons. Double internal-access garaging incorporates the laundry and adds everyday practicality.
Living spaces flow seamlessly outdoors to a vast, sun-drenched entertaining area where a heated swimming pool and spa set the scene for relaxed summer living and memorable gatherings. This private outdoor zone is perfectly positioned to soak up the sun and enjoy the peaceful surrounds.
Continuing down the drive beyond the main residence reveals a substantial approximately 240sqm commercial sized shed that significantly enhances the property's appeal. This impressive structure includes self-contained three-bedroom sleepout with open-plan living and kitchen, plus a large bathroom - ideal for extended family or guests. The shed itself will excite home business operators, car enthusiasts, tradies, hobbyists or anyone seeking serious workspace, and also features a useful mezzanine storage area.
The land is well set up for lifestyle living, with fenced grazing paddocks suitable for livestock, established native trees, vegetable gardens and a stream adding both charm and functionality. Water supply is well catered for with three 25,000-litre water tanks.
Exceptionally private yet conveniently located, this appealing lifestyle property is only minutes from Welcome Bay shopping centre and enjoys easy access to Mount Maunganui, Papamoa and the Southern Motorway.
