Space, style and genuine versatility come together at 42/361 Central Road. An elevated lifestyle property with sweeping views across Lake Rotorua toward Mount Ngongotaha, contemporary architecture, multiple living options and serious shedding. What has been created here is a complete lifestyle package that would cost significantly more to replicate today.
At the centre of the property sits a beautifully designed three bedroom, two bathroom main residence. The striking open plan kitchen, dining and living area forms the heart of the home, with polished concrete floors, high stud ceilings and large picture windows drawing in natural light and framing the outlook. A centrally positioned woodfire with wetback anchors the space through the cooler months, adding both warmth and atmosphere.
The master suite is privately positioned off the main living area and includes a walk in wardrobe and ensuite, while two additional bedrooms sit beyond the kitchen, offering excellent separation for family or guests. Cedar and Colorsteel cladding give the home a clean architectural presence, complemented by established landscaping and native plantings.
Set across just over one hectare, the property offers genuine space without the workload of a larger block. Expansive lawns, extensive concrete and hardstand areas make everyday living easy, while a separate paddock provides room for a horse, beefie or a few sheep.
Beyond the main home, the versatility of the property really stands out. A lined detached double garage is supported by substantial shedding, including a two-bay enclosed pole shed with lean to, ideal for storage, projects or business use. A separate 28sqm self-contained cabin adds further flexibility, perfect for guests, extended family or working from home.
Privately positioned away from the main residence is a 72sqm two-bedroom, one bathroom cottage, offering independent living, multi-generational options or supplementary income. Few lifestyle properties provide this level of separation and choice.
All of this sits within the Woodlands subdivision, one of Rotorua's most desirable lifestyle communities. Residents enjoy privacy, a genuine sense of community and access to shared walking and mountain biking trails winding through established native and exotic bush.
Architectural design, multiple accommodation options, substantial shedding, manageable land and an exceptional outlook, 42/361 Central Road brings together everything you could want from a modern lifestyle property. At $1,699,000, it represents outstanding value for a complete lifestyle setup that would cost considerably more to recreate today.
A property with presence, flexibility and long-term appeal. A lifestyle ready to enjoy now.
