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.

Exuding memories of its 30s’ origins, this home blends old-world charm with modern comfort in the best of both worlds. Stepping up the rustic brick pathway to a wicker-chair welcome on the porch, this classic bungalow disguises the space beyond. High ceilings throughout, three bedrooms, two designer bathrooms, new carpet where it counts and spacious living revolves around a sunny disposition. Comfort is ensured year round with two heat pumps, and the property now benefits from a total of 35,000L of water storage, including a newly installed 25,000L tank.

Original native timber on flooring, joinery and doors have been lovingly restored to underpin the style and personality that makes this home so inviting. One of the cutest parts is the larder-style pantry. Its sarked, timber walls, dresser and shelving beg showing off home preserves and fancy cake tins.

Dine and relax inside or open the French doors to bask on the deck amid garden serenity. From here, the outlook stretches across the rural landscape, with rolling hills framing the horizon — a peaceful backdrop that shifts with the seasons. 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.

1131 Ida Valley-Omakau Road… your future… starts here.

Character living with rural calm and a big shed

Set on 2,562sqm (more or less) and surrounded by peaceful organic dairy farmland, this beautifully refreshed character home offers the perfect balance of charm, space, and modern comfort. With views stretching out to Mount Te Aroha and the surrounding countryside, it delivers the kind of rural lifestyle that feels private and relaxed while still being only eight minutes from Te Aroha and twenty two minutes from Morrinsville.
The home itself is warm and inviting, with three bedrooms and an open plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area that creates an easy flow for everyday living. Polished timber floors in the dining and lounge add a touch of classic character, while the remodeled kitchen with new appliances brings a fresh, modern feel. A separate laundry, a family bathroom, and a separate toilet provide practical convenience, and there is also an additional room that works perfectly as a second lounge, office, or hobby space. Comfort is well taken care of with both a wood burner and a heat pump, making the home enjoyable year round.
Recent renovations have given the property a clean, contemporary finish while respecting its original charm. The interior and exterior have been freshly painted, the bathroom and toilet are brand new, the kitchen has been upgraded, and new drapes and curtains have been installed throughout. The result is a home that feels move in ready, with all the hard work already completed.
The shedding on this property is a standout feature. Alongside a generous double garage, there is a substantial 104sqm (more or less) six bay shed. Three of the bays have concrete floors, ideal for workshop use or secure storage, while the remaining three have a metal base, offering versatility for machinery, vehicles, or general storage. The section is fully fenced, providing space for pets, gardens, or future landscaping ideas, all while enjoying the peaceful rural backdrop.
This property will appeal to buyers looking for a character home with modern upgrades, excellent shedding, and a quiet lifestyle setting close to town.
It's a place where you can enjoy space, privacy, and rural views without compromising convenience.
