Encompassing 1145sqm (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, double car garaging, and an enviable self-contained “Cottage” (almost impossible to find in the central city).
The residence itself is a masterclass in classic, enduring style. A meticulous renovation has delivered immaculate interiors that effortlessly accommodate the way modern families like to live. Five spacious bedrooms in the home are thoughtfully arranged to suit everyone’s needs with bathrooms, laundry and plenty of storage.
The tranquil primary suite opens to a private balcony with beautiful water feature views and indulgent ensuite. The cottage makes an ideal teenager’s retreat or equally perfect spot to accommodate extended family living, working from home or an additional flexible living space.
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 scullery and window seat to sit and chat to the chef; ensuring everyday life runs with ease. Living spaces flow seamlessly to the expansive covered deck; a stage for alfresco dining, summer soirées, and long afternoons gazing across the pool and sweeping lawns to the lush river beyond.
Every element here elevates the lifestyle on offer. The 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 work-out spot, yoga pavilion, or simply a shady relaxation zone, 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.
