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.

The main dwelling has been renovated with finesse, with a nod to vintage and retro foundations that give it genuine character.

Cambridge High School is nearby on Swayne Road, FreshChoice Cambridge and Joe’s Garage are also within easy reach, and the wider Cambridge township, cafés, shopping, services and sports facilities are all close by. It is the kind of position that gives you the feeling of being just out of town, without giving up the convenience of town living.

Adding further practicality is the excellent three-bay shed, complete with workshop space. Whether you need storage for vehicles, tools, equipment, hobbies, business use, or lifestyle gear, this is a valuable feature that gives the property immediate functionality.

Cambridge continues to be one of the Waikato’s most sought-after locations, known for its village charm, strong schooling, sporting culture, boutique shopping, cafés, tree-lined streets and easy access to Hamilton, Te Awamutu, Lake Karāpiro and the expressway.

Refreshed, rural and ready

Deadline Sale - 1pm, Wed 12 Aug 2026 (unless sold prior)

Set across 4.01ha only 10 minutes from Rangiora, this property is built to support every lifestyle ambition, pairing the comfort of a refreshed home with the capability of established infrastructure.

A tree-lined driveway framed by sculpted greenery introduces a 280sqm single-level home, where permanent material construction is complemented by a recently repainted and recarpeted interior finished in a timeless neutral palette.

Family life naturally settles around two living areas, where a boxed ceiling and bay window introduce design definition, with the modern kitchen and scullery playing a leading role within the open-plan lounge and dining domain.

The home's social side finds another gear outdoors, where covered dining, a built-in fire and barbecue make entertaining second nature, all framed by mature gardens kept at their best through automated irrigation.

Four bedrooms comfortably cover the demands of family life, with the master claiming an en-suite advantage with twin vanities and a walk-in shower, while the family bathroom is equally well-equipped to keep the morning routine moving.

Two heat pumps, a pellet fire, triple-car garaging and a concrete driveway continue the home's practical comforts, ensuring it performs in every season.

Beyond the home, the property's capability is every bit as compelling. Fully deer-fenced paddocks are supported by deer and stock yards complete with a loading ramp and concrete floor, while a five-bay implement shed, including two enclosed workshop bays, is ready to accommodate machinery, projects or personal pursuits.

A private water bore provides a plentiful supply, completing a lifestyle property where convenience is close to home, the investment has already been made, and the rewards are ready to be enjoyed.
