Just 20 minutes north of Morrinsville and 20 minutes to the expressway, it delivers rural freedom without losing everyday convenience.
Set on a generous 7,495sqm (more or less) section, the property gives you room to spread out and live the lifestyle you've been dreaming of. A large paddock is ideal for a few stock, a pony, or simply a wide open playground for kids, pets, and bikes. Positioned down a peaceful country road with beautiful rural vistas, it's a setting that instantly slows the pace.
Inside, the home is warm, inviting, and designed for family life. The open plan kitchen, dining, and living area forms the heart of the home - a relaxed, social space that flows out to a large entertaining deck overlooking the pool and countryside. The kitchen brings a touch of rustic charm with its country style finishes, blending character with everyday practicality.
Comfort is well taken care of with ceiling insulation and a gas heater that warms the entire home, making it easy to stay cosy throughout winter. Internet is currently with Litewire, providing strong, reliable connectivity for work, study, or streaming.
With four bedrooms, there's plenty of space for a growing family. The master suite includes a walk in wardrobe and a beautifully finished ensuite. The family bathroom mirrors the same high standard, featuring floor to ceiling tiling, twin vanities, and heated towel rails - a touch of luxury that makes busy mornings easier. A separate toilet adds further convenience.
Summer living is sorted with the inground swimming pool, perfect for long afternoons and weekend gatherings. For those who love to tinker, create, or store the toys, the property includes a double garage plus workshop, with plenty of room to add a large shed if desired.
Families will appreciate the location: Tauhei Primary School is just 3km down the road, and there are school buses to Morrinsville Intermediate and Morrinsville College, making the daily routine simple and stress free.
Whether you're upsizing from town, craving more space for the kids, or wanting a manageable lifestyle block without the overwhelm, this Tauhei property is the ideal entry point. Peaceful, practical, and packed with potential - it's a place where families can grow, explore, and enjoy the best of country living.
