Huge bang for your buck

Your dollar will stretch way further here than it will in town, and you get to enjoy the bonuses that rural living offers over residential. This roomy 1970's brick home has four double bedrooms, open plan living, a big lounge and an office. It really is the definition of a spacious family home. Sure, it could do with some polishing but it's not essential - this could wait. In the meantime, just move in and chill out.

Being situated part way between Morrinsville and Matamata means you can tick off location along with northerly-aspect and privacy. The space inside is proportionally matched by the 4494sqm (more or less) section which itself is a major draw card in part due to its shape, mature trees, and views.

We expect that buyers will recognise the appeal of this property early on; therefore, we don't recommend adopting the ''wait and see" approach.

Rare entry-level lifestyle. So much to love.

Set on 5,000 square metres (more or less) of premium lifestyle land, this is one of those properties that quietly over-delivers at every turn. Post and rail fencing and a sealed driveway lead you home to a property positioned to make the most of reaching rural views — a truly immersive experience, without compromising on proximity to both Cambridge and Te Awamutu.

The main dwelling has been renovated with finesse, with a nod to vintage and retro foundations that give it genuine character. Formal living is sunken — a deliberate design choice that anchors the home's personality. A wood burner warms the family living room, which opens to the kitchen in the way a family hub should. A dedicated dining room and study nook round out the social floorplan. Accommodation includes three bedrooms, the primary with ensuite and doors to the sheltered deck overlooking the inground concrete pool and those views. The remaining two bedrooms are serviced by the gorgeous family bathroom, a real highlight of the home. Inspired vision and practicality collide in the best way. The laundry is substantial and styled to match — a detail that speaks to the care taken across the whole home.

The sleepout has been renovated in keeping with the main home and offers open-plan living and accommodation, a full bathroom, laundry facilities, and a kitchenette. It has been used as a successful Airbnb with excellent Summer occupancy — history available on request. Whether it earns its keep, houses adult children, or enables multi-generational living is entirely up to you.

Two fenced paddocks, each with a trough, offer space for a pony or small livestock. Garaging with workshop space completes the practical picture.

Ten minutes to Cambridge township. Fifteen to Te Awamutu. Five minutes to excellent primary schooling. The location offers ultimate convenience without compromising on space, fresh air, or the kind of quiet that reminds you why lifestyle living matters.

So much content at an entry-level price point, in this location, is virtually unheard of. First lifestyle block, space for a pony, income to offset the mortgage, room for the extended family — this property answers all of those briefs and more.

Owners have committed elsewhere. They are motivated and realistic in their expectations. Opportunities like this do not linger.
