Seller's Description

Picture waking up to mountain views right on your doorstep, with 1.2ha (approx) of rural living to call your own. This is the kind of property where the rural dream actually starts to feel real, space to grow, room to roam, and Mount Pirongia set right there in the backdrop.

Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a layout that works, paired with land that has vast potential. Practical, private, and easy living for a growing family or anyone wanting a bit of breathing space.

Outside is where this place really earns its keep. There's a standalone single garage, plus a separate cabin that opens up plenty of options, whether that's a work from home office, extra guest space, or a spot for the hobbies. The chook pen and veggie garden are already set up and ready to go for anyone keen on growing their own. The paddock is fully fenced with a gate, so the pony or the calves can roam.

Wide, open, and full of potential, with scope to subdivide down the track (subject to the usual council approvals, of course). Walk to the high spot on the property and you're met with incredible 360 degree views, the kind of building site people dream about.

There's also a bit of a bonus here. The property runs alongside a council owned paper road, which sits within the fence line and has been maintained by the current owners. In practice that means more usable land within the fence than the 1.2ha on the title, a nice extra for whoever takes this one on.

You're not giving up convenience for space either. It's a 9 min drive to the local cafe and service station, so you've got those everyday amenities close by while still feeling well and truly rural. And this is a great little community, with preschool, school, the squash club and more all just five minutes away. Real community vibe, real community feel.

For anyone who loves the outdoors, this location is hard to beat. You're in close proximity to Mount Pirongia, giving you easy access to the wider Pirongia playground - think the Kaniwhaniwha walking track and caves, the horse trek, the Te Araroa trail over the neighbouring station, and the nearby arboretum. Add in a 35 min drive to Raglan and you've got the mountains and the coast both well within reach. All this whilst still only being 16min drive from Dinsdale, Hamilton.

This is a rare chance to secure a rural lifestyle block with real upside.
