The Good Life

Rarely do quality lifestyle properties in the Waikato become available at an accessible price point such as this.

There are some memories you simply cannot replicate; especially when it involves country life and back to basics. The sweet aroma of grandma’s hot buttered scones. That front-porch welcome of weekend visits to feed spring lambs and calves. Toasting marshmallows on the fire outside at sunset as birds stop chattering. Country simplicity remains in your heart forever; calling you back to leave city life behind. Here in Te Kowhai, you’ll return to that happy place and let your children live the dream. This is the perfect first home forever; nestled amid 7,294sqm (more or less) of country garden and two paddocks for livestock, currently grazing two 18 month old cattle.

Fruit trees to fill the pantry, raised beds for veges and herbs, plus space all around. A haven for the kids to romp at will, play backyard cricket and make their own adventure.

Bring the animals, plant more fruit trees, cherish the freedom and room to grow. Minutes from Te Kowhai village and popular school, this is handy to Hamilton if you have to commute. But, why would you want to? This is where family and living belongs. Come and make it yours.

The Pride of Poolburn

She’s historic, charming, symmetrical – a landmark home in Central Otago’s stunning Ida Valley.

Believed to have been first built in 1895, this beautifully restored four-five-bedroom, one bathroom dwelling sits on a minimalistic and tastefully landscaped 1.34 hectares just 11 kilometres from Omakau – 37 from Alexandra.

The 130-year-old former farm homestead has those deliciously thick roughcast-over-schist / mud brick walls, rimu wooden panelling, chandeliers, and leadlight windows from a simpler time.

It boasts four generous bedrooms off the hallway – two with those delightfully detailed old fireplaces - the master with a sunlit study.

Dining and living are open plan, while another good-sized room could either be used as a second living room or fifth bedroom.

The kitchen and bathroom are equally as charming as the rest of the home, which is spacious and warm year-round.

Most of the windows are double-glazed – even those leadlights – there are two heat pumps, an HRV heat transfer system, and a large wood burner.

Outside the main dwelling this eye-catching property also offers three impressive buildings – an old one-car garage as well as a worker’s hut – which are in keeping with the house, and a huge brand new three-bay shed for the camper van, boat, boards, and bikes.

There's a paddock with a water trough for livestock as well as a spa to take in those iconic sought after Central Otago views - views of Rough Ridge and the Hawkdun Ranges.

Properties like the 'Pride of Poolburn' rarely meet the market and would make an excellent home, holiday home, B'n'B, or tourism opportunity.

They're simply not making this kind of thing anymore.
