Three dwellings and substantial shedding

Some properties offer a home. This one offers a way of life.

Set in the quaint farming village of Arapuni, this substantial lifestyle holding includes three dwellings and substantial shedding in a private position. Delivering on space, privacy and infrastructure on a genuinely rare scale — with the Maungatautari native reserve on your doorstep, Lake Arapuni around the corner, and rural vistas in every direction.

Arapuni village and its excellent coffee are ten minutes away. Pukeatua primary school sits directly across the road. Te Awamutu is a easy 25-minute run for the big shop, with Matamata and Putaruru equally accessible — country living, without the compromise.

Dual electric gates welcome you home, leading through an established grove of native trees — private, calming, and beautifully backlit at dusk — to a sealed turning bay set well back from the road.

The shedding here is a showstopper: parking for up to six vehicles, with overheight doors, an inbuilt hoist, three-phase power, garage carpet and room to spare for a truck. Built for cars, boats, machinery or business — this is shedding on another level.

The main residence, built in 2017, is brick, double-glazed and low-maintenance. Set amongst flat lawns with uninterrupted views to Mount Maungatautari and the surrounding farmland. Four bedrooms include a private primary suite with ensuite and walk-in robe, plus a dedicated office, two living areas opening to a substantial covered deck, and a kitchen with walk-in pantry. Ducted, zoneable heating and cooling, a Marantz sound system, and full app control of heating, cooling, security, sound and lighting make this a genuinely smart home — backed by a generator for total peace of mind.

A second dwelling, built in 2021 by Versatile, sits privately apart from the main home. Three bedrooms across the home and sleepout, two bathrooms, double glazing, ducted heating and cooling, and its own double garage — ideal for extended family, multi-generational living, or an income opportunity.

A self-contained studio cabin adds further accommodation, with living and bedroom combined, full kitchen and bathroom — and the flexibility to relocate if required.

Further farm-style shedding, a container, and four paddocks complete the offering.

Please note: the vendors' price expectations have shifted. Any previous price guidance should be disregarded — this is a genuine opportunity.

Privacy. Space. Infrastructure without compromise. Opportunities of this calibre in such a gorgeous rural setting do not come around often — contact us today.

Your Entry Into Lifestyle Living

Some homes ask you to imagine the lifestyle. This one simply hands it to you.

Almost entirely rebuilt and extended eight years ago, this warm and cosy home has been positioned — quite deliberately — to soak in every last drop of sunshine. Over-height stacker doors fold open to generous decking and views that roll away across the countryside, blurring the line between indoors and out. Double glazed and fully insulated throughout, it's as comfortable in the depths of winter as it is on a long summer evening.

At the heart of the home, open plan living, kitchen and dining come together effortlessly. A striking Belling stove anchors the kitchen, while the central island invites the kind of relaxed conversation that turns cooking into a shared occasion rather than a chore. A separate scullery with kauri benchtop keeps the everyday mess out of sight, and a second living space — call it a media room, call it a man-cave — comes complete with its own wet bar and bathroom, ready for movie nights, game days, or simply escaping the noise.

Step outside and the lifestyle credentials keep stacking up. A swim spa (staying with the sale) and a built-in BBQ area set the scene for long, easy weekends, while substantial solar investment — including solar batteries — brings real, ongoing value to daily living.

Three well-proportioned bedrooms complete the accommodation, headlined by a primary suite that basks in the morning sun. A private sliding door opens onto its own quiet corner — perfect for that first coffee of the day — alongside a walk-in robe and ensuite. There's genuine scope, too, to close off one wing of the home and create a self-contained guest wing or teenage retreat, should the need arise.

For those who create, work, or simply need a little more room to move, an outside studio offers space to paint, write, tinker or run a business from home. A container fitted with a ranch slider provides dry, secure storage — or perhaps the beginnings of a second office. Add a chicken coop and run, a greenhouse, internal access garaging, and an over-height dual carport, and the wish-list starts to feel very well and truly ticked.

Off-street parking is generous — plenty of room for the kids' bikes, scooters and everything in between — and the section is fully fenced with electric gates for total peace of mind. A dedicated entrance to the home sets the tone from the moment you arrive, while a separate laundry with excellent storage and dual heat pumps keep the practical side of life in check. And if you're still dreaming bigger, there's space here for extra shedding, or perhaps that inground pool you've always wanted.

All of this, in a location of absolute convenience — just five minutes to Kihikihi and under ten to Te Awamutu.

Come and soak in the rural bliss. Come and relish the urban convenience. Come and see what an entry-level lifestyle opportunity can really look like.
