2023 hasn’t changed anything for New Zealand farmers. Agriculture faces uncertain times and unsettled weather. Except in Waikato. The pasture is lush and green. Even in a changing market, there is opportunity – nowhere better than this lifestyle property on the fringe of Hamilton.
It gives farmers looking to downsize a chance to stay in touch, thanks to the grazing. It’s also ideal for anyone seeking the freedom of country life, but not wanting a full-fledged farm. The property covers around 1.84 hectares. Post-andrail fencing sets the tone and distinction this property boasts, followed by four paddocks, water and brilliant shade trees. The grazing is equally suited to equine pursuits – or, a bit of both – even better. Particularly as the home caters for everyone in the family.
Nestled amid luxurious grounds, the home is introduced by a tree-lined drive that sweeps past the paddocks. Complete with playground lawns, garden walkways and cottage corners, the home gazes out to a large swimming pool and bubbling corner. There is also a hot tub off the master bedroom.
This home is the epitome of country character. Farmers will instantly draw to its quiet elegance and ability to entertain crowds. With four bedrooms and two luxury bathrooms – including a spa bath for personal indulgence – this home caters effortlessly for large families. It’s the various living areas that highlight the true entertainment factor, however. The home has the space and size for those big-dinner parties, yet its clever layout allows cosy catch-ups. This home revolves around entertaining - formal dining in a dedicated room, drawing room with a gas fire, and family lounge with a new gourmet kitchen. The piece-deresistance is the billiard board room. A private club for those friendly rivalries – complete with space for the desk to work from home.
The outdoor connection is an integral feature, with most rooms slipping outside to verandah settings that overlook a shade-sail patio and recreation beyond. The resort-style swimming pool is the centre of attention. From morning exercise to parties by the pool in summer evenings, this is yet another area to congregate and entertain. Ample room for garden parties too. And then there is all the additional storage to take in.
Impressive parking includes a large triple internal garage, supported by considerable sealed parking for visitors. There’s plenty of room for the boat and motorhome. Men will probably gravitate towards the huge implement shed. Ideal for other toys, this shed lends various ideas for a home-based business or rumpus/gym retreat. Internal storage is also significant – right to a farm-style laundry.
With the Waikato expressway just down the road, this property is a short commute into town. Better yet – it’s an easy cruise up to Auckland. A home of distinction, character and space - lifestyle awaits.
