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.

The building site is elevated with a formed driveway already providing access and positioning the site to make the most of the outlook. From here, the views stretch across Cambridge and beyond to Mount Pirongia, Kakepuku and Maungatautari, with native bush covered hills providing the backdrop. Some native plantings and a stream add to the natural character of the property.

Located amongst other quality lifestyle properties, this is an area that continues to appeal to those wanting the space and rural feel of a lifestyle property without being too far removed from town. Zoned for popular Goodwood School, the location will appeal to families looking to settle in a well-regarded rural community.
