Overview

Iconic riverside estate for modern family living

Encompassing 1462sqm (more or less) of prime riverfront land on Hamilton's prestigious River Road, this remarkable estate is a rare offering where timeless design, family practicality, and unrivalled lifestyle converge. Bordering the leafy Waikato River reserve, the home delivers a sense of seclusion and serenity while remaining just a stroll from the CBD, its retail and entertainment, riverside trails and prestigious schooling options. Discretely set behind fencing and automatic gates, an expansive courtyard welcomes you home; offering privacy, presence, and effortless functionality with ample off-street parking, triple car garaging, and an enviable boat garage (almost impossible to find in the central city). The residence itself is a masterclass in classic, enduring style. Five spacious bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged to suit family life, with a dedicated children's wing complete with its own lounge and bathroom, two additional bedrooms near a second bathroom, and a tranquil master suite tucked away with water feature views, a dream dressing room, and indulgent ensuite. This is a home to make memories in and at its heart, sits a beautiful entertainer's kitchen. The island bench is the perfect spot for kids or friends to gather and is complemented by a vast scullery and separate laundry, ensuring everyday life runs with ease. Living spaces flow seamlessly to the truly expansive covered deck complete with fireplace; a stage for alfresco dining, summer soirees, and long afternoons gazing across the pool and sweeping lawns to the lush river beyond. Every element here elevates the lifestyle on offer. The heated swimming pool glows as an illuminated water feature by night, while the manicured lawns invite cricket, football, and family fun. The riverside cabana offers versatility as a guest retreat, yoga pavilion, or work from home sanctuary, always framed by calming water views. Thanks to the vision of its current owners, this is a home that entertains as beautifully as it nurtures, balancing luxury with liveability, able to host cosy family nights in or the largest of social gatherings. Opportunities of this calibre on Hamilton's River Road are exceptionally rare. For families seeking a central city sanctuary with every box ticked, this is the one.
