Set amid the rolling green landscape of Ngahinapouri, just ten minutes to Hamiltons City boundary, with beautiful views to Mount Pirongia, this exceptional lifestyle property presents a rare opportunity to secure a residence of true distinction, crafted by Davies Homes who are known for their absolute attention to detail. A timeless and striking blend of light brick and dark linea beneath a bold gabled roofline gives the home immediate presence, while its elevated position takes in sweeping rural views across open farmland.

It's a space that strikes the perfect balance between lots of functional practicality without compromising on its aesthetic value.

The master suite is a retreat in its own right, generously proportioned with a walk-in robe and an elegant fully tiled ensuite. The remaining three bedrooms are all well-proportioned, with built in storage and lots of room for activities! Serviced by a generous tiled family bathroom with stand alone bath, the ebbs and flows of day to day living are easily accounted for here. A dedicated laundry adds further convenience, while the oversized 2.5 internal-access garage, offers both flexibility and a refined finish which is quite simply the baseline for this home.

Step outside to the covered Kwila decking, where a louvre system and stacker doors integrate this space into the home, a true extension of its footprint. Here, family gatherings, quiet mornings, and long summer evenings all find their natural home, looking out over manicured lawns and established, low-maintenance gardens.

Positioned amongst other quality homes in a tightly held and sought-after pocket of Ngahinapouri, this property delivers the best of all worlds. Just ten minutes from Hamilton City and an easy forty-minute drive to the surf and sand of Raglan, with zoning for excellent primary schooling nearby, the daily commute becomes seamless and convenience stands out as a defining feature of this exceptional address.

Family Lifestyle with a Difference

Are you looking for a well-treed lifestyle that oozes personality, character and potential?

You must put this property on your list. My current vendors have loved living in this pleasantly quirky property but it's time to downsize.

A mountain bike and walking track have been established amongst the established mature trees, which could also be perfect for the kids ponies to race around. For the bird watchers there is a Maimai on the idyllic lagoon. Or another useful fort for the boys. The architectural 3-4 bedroom home has many great features from the always popular cathedral ceilings in the lounge to the conservatory with views to the ranges and sweeping over your property.

The current owners have bought up 4 children in this home and say when there is a crowd invading the home, it works well with lots of separate spaces for everyone to escape. In the winter they keep toasty warm with the very effective central wood burner, perfect for keeping the soup warm. A heat transfer system keeps the bedrooms cosy. Halcombe is certainly a transitional village with lots of new quality homes been built and a Primary school with a brilliant reputation. A bonus is the school bus at the gate. Only 12 minutes to Feilding and 20 minutes to Palmerston North. My vendors are downsizing and want SOLD. Call me anytime to view.

Your walk-in wardrobe sits behind the master bedroom, as does the ensuite with its double vanity and large, tiled, double header walk-in shower.
Everyone loves a separate guest wing and this one caters well for children or visitors, with sensor lighting leading you to three sunny bedrooms and a spacious bathroom. The versatility of this wing is a feature- it works well as a locked off Air BnB facility, with one of the bedrooms currently being used as a third lounge with its own patio. A powder room for guests sits off the main foyer for convenience.
The heating of both the home's water and underfloor pad is masterful. Forget big power bills, the hydraulic inverter heat pump with three thermostats, controls both hot water and underfloor heating with seventeen valves that can manually adjust the temperature throughout the house. Eighteen solar panels also feed back into the grid.
The double garage is adjoined by a third smaller garage or workshop where the ride-on mower also fits comfortably. Outside there's plenty of parking space for the motorhome or boat if you can ever be torn away from this vast 316sqm (more or less) sanctuary.
Surrounded by other quality homes, this is a property for those who value craftsmanship, atmosphere and the confidence of exceptional design. Well positioned just 2km from the expressway, commuting to both Hamilton or Cambridge is easy. Shopping and amenities in both centres are less than13 minutes drive away and private schooling at St Peters in Cambridge is even closer.
This property offers so much more than meets the eye. It has x-factor, style, and sustainability- now it just needs you!
