This is a stunning Douglas Fir board and baton, 3 bedroom home on a secluded half acre, with beautiful views over rural Waihi. The property is fully fenced, with privacy fencing and gates for the flat garden area that contains a patio and banquet table, pizza oven, raised gardens and a wood shed.

The living room and kitchen are all hard wood, with sarked ceilings and stained glass feature windows. The kitchen and dining areas also have bay windows. The feature bathroom with a claw footed bath is tiled in natural slate and has rural views.

A sunny full length deck with gate access, provides entry to the living room ranch-slider and the laundry from the sealed driveway.

The property has a fully fenced paddock, regularly grazed by local horses.

Located on the North West side of the Martha Pit, the home is on the opposite side of mine workings of the soon to close Mining operation. The North wall is what's known as the "High-Wall" the most competent rock (hardest) in the mine, unrelated to the ore body. This area of the mine has never had any of the associated negative impacts of mining such as sink holes and has not had impacts from blasting activities for many years, as the mining zones are on the opposite side and very deep.

The home is within a few steps of the well developed "pit rim walkway", a 3km loop through native bush on constructed walkways, that also provides easy walking access to the main street.

I have owned this house for 7 years and we absolutely love it. I worked for the Waihi mining operation for 5 years and I was fortunate enough to be able to investigate the location with an understanding of the area and geology not available to most people. I still currently work for Newmont, however I am located in the USA, where I have been offered a permanent position, and the time has come to sell our beloved family home.
