Set against a beautiful rural backdrop in sought-after Ararimu/Hunua, 58 Farquharson Road offers something increasingly hard to find the space and freedom of a lifestyle property, without the workload of a large rural holding.
Set on a generous hectare, the property is centred around two substantial, well-maintained homes, thoughtfully separated to provide privacy and flexibility, complemented by a large American-style barn with an impressive range of work, hobby and storage options.
The immaculate three-year-old main residence is designed for relaxed, modern living, with generous open-plan kitchen, dining and living spaces that make the most of the expansive country outlook. A separate media room provides additional living space, while three spacious bedrooms include a private master suite.
The kitchen is the heart of the home, opening naturally to the living and dining areas and flowing out to substantial covered outdoor living. Whether entertaining, enjoying family time or simply taking in the ever-changing rural views, the connection between indoors and out is a standout feature.
A practical butler's/boot room provides secondary access directly into the kitchen, ideal for country living and those muddy boots, gardening days and everyday comings and goings.
The outdoor spaces are equally inviting, with generous, covered areas providing shelter and flexibility for entertaining, children, pets and simply enjoying the peace and space of your surroundings.
Set well away from the main residence, the substantial two-bedroom second home is a genuine asset. Immaculately presented and offering excellent independence, it has its own impressive kitchen and wonderful sheltered and covered outdoor living complete with woodfire BBQ. It is ideal for extended family, guests, older children or those wanting additional accommodation and the current vendor has successfully had the dwelling tenanted.
Completing the picture is the large American-style barn, conveniently positioned near the main home. With multiple work and storage options, it provides the flexibility to work from home, pursue hobbies, store toys or simply enjoy the additional space that comes with a lifestyle property, without needing a large acreage to maintain.
And then there is the location. The Hunua / Ararimu area offers the best of country living with the Hunua Ranges, Hunua Falls and the wider Hunua Regional Park close by, providing easy access to native bush, walking tracks and the outdoors. John Hill Estate is just down the road for a relaxed lunch or wine, while Pukekohe and Papakura are approximately 23km away for everyday amenities. Drury and its train station are approximately 18km away while the motorway at Ramarama mere13km.
This is a property where the hard work has already been done. The homes are established, beautifully maintained and thoughtfully positioned, the grounds provide plenty of space without becoming a burden, and the views and natural setting do the rest.
Two homes, a substantial barn, beautiful views and a hectare of Hunua countryside, all the ingredients for an enviable lifestyle, without the work of a large rural property.
