Make It Your Own

There is a point on the drive home where Hamilton lets go of you. The roads narrow, the paddocks open out, and by the time you turn into Telephone Road the city is somewhere behind you rather than all around you. Puketaha has stayed small on purpose. Far enough out that the quiet is real, close enough in that Puketaha School, Rototuna, Greenhill and the expressway all sit inside an ordinary day.

The front door tells you what kind of home this is before you open it. The window above it runs high and deliberate, and the light that pours through it into the entrance was nobody's accident. This home was crafted rather than built, designed in the 1980s by an architect who intended to live in it himself.

Four bedrooms. Two bathrooms. Two living areas, so everyone has somewhere to be. A woodburner for the middle of a Waikato winter. The finishes belong to their era, and that is the invitation. This is a home asking for someone to bring their own taste to it.

Outside there is genuine room. Enough to let the children run without having to call them back, and enough to imagine whatever comes next, whether that is more shedding, more garden, or something to swim in.

One family has loved this home for more than twenty years. It was crafted with intention, and it is ready for its next chapter.

At the centre of the home is a spacious open-plan kitchen with a large scullery, dining and living area, complemented by a separate media room and seamless flow to covered outdoor living and entertaining spaces. The home is fully insulated and double glazed, with ducted heating and a Masport wood burner.

A substantial American barn-style Totalspan shed provides excellent storage and workshop space, with a fully self-contained one-bedroom apartment attached, offering flexibility for extended family or guests. The shed roof is fitted with 23 solar panels connected to an inverter system, allowing battery storage to be added in the future if desired.

The balance land is currently used for grazing and hay production, subdivided into two paddocks. The land around the home and sheds has been well established with native plantings, along with a variety of fruit and citrus trees. Water is supplied via two 30,000L rainwater tanks servicing the home through UV and carbon filtration.

With convenient location, a near-new home, impressive shedding, productive land and the added benefit of self-contained accommodation, this property offers a range of options for its next owners.
