Fruitful Opportunity

Olive greens. Rust oranges. Golden yellows.

Alexandra’s Rockview Road Autumn hues, mountain and valley views, are almost edible.

This is a special place. A place where simply being feels good. A place worth taking a chance on.

So, what’s on offer?

We’re talking 16 hectares of productive ground just minutes from town. Currently, most of that dirt homes thousands of trees and a lucrative organic apple orchard. Fuji, Jazz, Honey Crisp, and Pacific Queen – crisp organic apples that are enjoyed at home and abroad.

Number 75 Rockview Road could be run as an orchard – there’s even space for more trees – but it’s also screaming out for a house or two.

Potentially subdividable, this block comes with two domestic water rights through the Long Gully scheme as well as 12 hectares of irrigation water through the Manuherikia Irrigation Company.

The pond and water pump are already in place, while power is close by.

Then there’s the potential building sites to go with a subdivision. Elevated, north-facing, with 360 degree views out over the Dunstans, the Hawkduns, the Raggedy Ranges, the Old Man Range, and the Manuherikia Valley.

You’d seriously struggle to find better.

So, if horticulture isn’t your game, this is still a fantastic opportunity for a developer or anyone wanting to secure a stunning piece of paradise on the outskirts of a great wee town.

If you’re interested – don’t sit on your hands – this one will go as fast as the apples it produces.

Character, Views & Room to Breathe

If you've found yourself driving past townhouse after townhouse, dreaming of more space, more privacy and fewer neighbours within earshot, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Positioned on an impressive yet manageable 2,920m² section, this distinctive lifestyle property delivers the space, privacy and freedom people move to the country for, without sacrificing proximity to the city. Less than five minutes from Glenview Shopping Centre and everyday amenities, it offers a lifestyle that is becoming increasingly difficult to secure this close to Hamilton.

Constructed in the 1970s and architecturally inspired, the home possesses a character and individuality rarely found in today's market. The current owners advise that the property was originally built with Chinese feng shui principles in mind, with thoughtful design elements incorporated throughout. The result is a home with genuine personality, warmth and a connection to its surroundings that sets it apart from more conventional homes.

Spread across multiple levels, the floorplan provides flexibility and functionality in equal measure. Upstairs accommodates three bedrooms, a family bathroom, separate toilet and a master bedroom with ensuite. The entry level welcomes you through a generous foyer and includes an office with its own toilet that is currently utilised as a bedroom, along with internal access garaging and laundry facilities.

Multiple living areas create versatility that is increasingly difficult to find. The kitchen, dining and family living spaces enjoy a wonderful connection to the grounds, allowing you to remain connected with outdoor activities while going about everyday life. A spectacular second living room forms the heart of the lower level, featuring soaring angled ceilings, a fireplace and proportions rarely seen in modern homes. Whether entertaining guests, accommodating a growing family, work-from-home arrangements or simply enjoying room to spread out, this space offers endless possibilities.

Step outside and you'll quickly appreciate what makes this property so special. The grounds are large enough to deliver the lifestyle experience buyers crave, yet manageable enough to avoid the workload often associated with larger lifestyle blocks. From the decking and elevated living spaces, expansive views stretch across the surrounding landscape toward Pirongia, creating a picturesque backdrop that changes with the seasons and delivers stunning sunsets year-round.

Recent improvements include new flooring throughout and a complete interior repaint, allowing buyers to move in and enjoy immediately while still retaining scope to further modernise and add value over time. Practical features include triple-car garaging, a 25,000-litre partially buried rainwater storage system with modern pump and three-stage filtration, and a septic system servicing the property.

Families will particularly appreciate zoning for the highly regarded Rukuhia School, a sought-after option that continues to draw buyers to this tightly held area. Other nearby schools include Glenview School, Deanwell School and Tamahere Model Country School. The property is also well positioned for Waikato Hospital, Hamilton Airport, Resthills Park and key transport links via State Highways 3 and 21.

Whispering lake

If you have been searching for a brand-new lifestyle property that genuinely delivers on every level, this is the one to stop for.
Set on 1.3 hectares (more or less) in the heart of Ararimu, this 2025-built home is everything you would want from a Franklin lifestyle property. The CCC came through in 2026, the finish is exceptional, and it is ready to move into right now.

From the moment you arrive through the automatic gate, the architecture sets the tone. Dark vertical cladding, cedar accents, triple garaging, and a sweeping concrete driveway. This is a home that has been built to impress, and it does not stop at the front door.
Inside, high studs run throughout the entire home, giving every room a sense of volume and light that lifts the whole experience. Distinctive zones have been thoughtfully created across both levels, so the home flows well as one but also functions beautifully in parts. The main living floor is open, light-filled, and designed for the way people want to live. Full-height glazing frames those rolling Ararimu hills on three sides, and the indoor/outdoor connection is seamless across both levels. Dual decks extend the living further, with a timber-lined ceiling and glass balustrade on the upper deck keeping the view completely uninterrupted, and the lower level opening directly out to its own deck as well. Wherever you are in this home, the outside is never far away.

The kitchen is a serious piece of work. A substantial concrete-look island anchors the space, with a cluster of mixed-metal globe pendants overhead that add real personality. Stone benchtops, integrated appliances, and a view straight out to the hills from the sink window. Behind it, the scullery is where the build quality really announces itself. Full-slab gold-veined stone covers the entire splashback wall, lit from below with a continuous strip of under-cabinet lighting. It is the kind of detail you find in architectural homes.
The upper master suite is private and well-proportioned. The walk-in wardrobe is a full joinery fitout in warm timber with LED strip lighting and its own outlook across the deck and paddocks. The ensuite is finished to boutique hotel standard: fully tiled floor to ceiling, heated floors, backlit mirrors, twin heated towel rails, and a double walk-in shower with barn-style sliding glass screen and gunmetal hardware throughout. A second bedroom sits on this level, served by a well-appointed tiled bathroom with heated floors that also functions as a guest bathroom for the main living area.

Head downstairs and the home takes on a different character. A feature textured wall anchors the hallway and sets the tone for the level below. A generous media room, dedicated office, mini bar, and a separate toilet. The second master suite on this level has its own walk-in wardrobe and ensuite finished to the same high standard as upstairs, fully tiled, heated floors, and a freestanding bath that gives it a distinctly indulgent feel. Quality styling and considered finishes carry through every corner of this level, just as they do above.
Out front, tucked beside the garaging, is a self-contained studio with its own entrance, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living area, and a private deck. Perfect for extended family, a dependent parent, or longer-stay guests, without anyone being on top of each other.
Few homes are genuinely set up for multi-generational living or co-ownership between friends or family. This one is. Two master suites across two levels, distinctive zones that allow each level to function independently, and a self-contained studio with its own entrance and outdoor space. Everyone has their own place to land, their own privacy, and their own connection to the property. It is a layout that works for grown children coming home, parents who want to be close but not crowded, friends who want to share something special, or guests who stay longer than a weekend.

Outside, 1.3 hectares of clean pasture surrounds Whispering Lake, with the pond and landscaping currently taking shape. Tank water supply. Room to breathe, and plenty of room to make it your own.
This is a home where the quality of the build, the setting, and the layout all land in the same place at the same time. Brand new, beautifully finished, and ready for the next chapter.

Two Homes, One Address, Zero Compromise

Some properties offer a home. This one offers a whole way of living.
Set on four hectares of established Bombay countryside, 417 Paparata Road has been thoughtfully built up over time into something genuinely rare: a property that works beautifully for the whole family, across every generation, without anyone feeling like they are in each other's way.
The main home is a six-bedroom, three-bathroom residence that tells its story in two parts. The original section has warmth and character that only comes with time. A separate lounge with a wood burner and painted brick feature wall is the kind of room that earns its keep on a winter evening. The kitchen and dining flow naturally together, and a separate toilet downstairs keeps the layout practical for busy family life. Upstairs, two further bedrooms share a well-appointed bathroom, tucked away from the main household with their own sense of quiet.
A breezeway connects the original home to a newer extension that lifts the whole property to another level. Four additional bedrooms, including a generous master suite with a large walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, sit alongside a full family bathroom. Both sections of the home have their own wood burner, so warmth is never an afterthought regardless of where you find yourself on a cold night.
The outdoor entertaining at this property is something else entirely. A permanent structure with full roll-up screens creates an all-weather room that connects directly to the main living area. Festoon lights overhead, outdoor heaters, space for a dining table and lounge furniture, and the kind of atmosphere that makes people stay longer than they planned. Beside it, a laser-cut pergola adds a striking design element to the covered patio, dappling light through its botanical pattern across the outdoor dining and lounge areas. Then there is the spa, tucked into the garden with an outlook across the rolling Bombay hills that makes it easy to relax and unwind.
Beyond the entertaining areas, the property rewards those who take the time to walk it. A dedicated foraging garden winds through the grounds, planted with intention and ready to explore. It is the kind of feature that changes how you think about the land around you, and the kind of thing children remember for the rest of their lives.
The second dwelling sits lower on the property, private and completely self-contained. Two bedrooms, an ensuite, a full bathroom and heat pump. A light filled open plan living area with timber-lined walls and its own deck looking out over the gardens and trees. It reads more like a proper home than a granny flat, which is exactly the point. Whether it is for a parent who wants to be nearby without being underfoot, or extended family who need their own space, it delivers that without compromise.
Beyond the two dwellings, the property continues to impress. A large shed, a separate workroom, a garage, a bottom shed with office, arena and stables with a tack room that are ready and waiting for horses. Four hectares of fenced pasture, established gardens, producing orchards, and a sense of space that simply cannot be replicated on a smaller block.
The location adds another dimension. Bombay School is just down the road, and the property sits within the Pukekohe High School zone. Pukekohe's shops and services are 13kms away. With Drury Central train station opening in 2026, connectivity to Auckland is about to improve significantly, and the Drury South Crossing precinct, one of Auckland's largest mixed-use commercial developments, is bringing jobs, services, and long-term growth to the area. State Highway 1 is 5.4km, Auckland Airport is roughly 38kms, and Auckland Central is 49kms.
This is a property that has been lived in and loved, and it shows in every decision that has been made. The infrastructure is here, the space is here, and the lifestyle is ready to hand over to whoever comes next.

Lifestyle, income & Endless Possibilities

Set across approximately 2.9 hectares of well-fenced, functional land, this exceptionally versatile lifestyle property offers the increasingly rare combination of family living, income potential, business flexibility, and quality rural infrastructure.
Privately positioned amongst mature native plantings, the four-bedroom family home has been thoughtfully designed for practical everyday living. Two separate living areas provide excellent separation for families, with a secondary lounge creating the perfect children's retreat, media room, or informal living space.

The home is perfectly orientated for lifestyle living, with a generous wrap-around deck flowing seamlessly from the kitchen and main living areas.

Adding significant value is the separate two-bedroom cottage, currently tenanted and providing an immediate supplementary income stream. Complementing this is a separate beauty clinic with a reception area, two treatment rooms and kitchenette/bathroom at the back. While buyers should undertake their own due diligence regarding compliance, the space offers exciting potential for a home-based business, consulting rooms, guest accommodation, Airbnb, studio, or hobby space.
