Is your ideal a solid character home in the country? If it is, you might as well get mountain and river views thrown in for free. You get all that and more when you buy this immaculate home. It’s set on well-kept grounds giving instant street appeal as you swing onto the driveway. It has views of both the Waikato and the magnificent Hakarimata Ranges.

For smaller families, the layout of the house is ideal for Airbnb. You could close off two bedrooms and a bathroom as the current owners have considered. The master bedroom has a separate rear entrance next to it, plus an oversized wardrobe area. The modern kitchen has clean lines and is a highlight of the living area. Use the heat-pump to stay cosy in winter and open the French doors in summer to let in the fresh country breeze. A separate laundry completes the design of everything you need.

The 6724 sqm grounds include new fruit trees, two fenced paddocks, and a double garage. With an impressive roof area, the 25,000L tank has proved more than enough for the house and farm animals.
