Serenity escape, privacy perfected

Set across 5.6510ha (more or less) of thoughtfully managed land, this superbly crafted residence was originally designed to operate as an exclusive lodge, yet it transitions seamlessly into a refined private estate.

The home has a presence that is both elegant and understated, offering substantial accommodation, excellent separation of spaces and a layout that supports a wide range of future uses. Some purchasers will be drawn to the property as a prestigious holiday home with a view to eventual permanent occupation, while others will immediately recognise the benefits of establishing their family life here from day one, creating memories that will endure for generations.

The residence itself is generous, well configured and immaculately cared for, with a level of construction and finish that ensures it will comfortably meet the needs of its owners for decades to come. Five suites, including a separate primary suite, are complemented by six bathrooms and a powder room, allowing family and guests to enjoy privacy without compromise. Formal and informal living areas include a gracious lounge, formal dining room and a large conservatory that draws in light and outlook throughout the day. High-quality fixtures, fittings and tiling reinforce the sense of quiet luxury that runs consistently through the home.

Beyond the residence, the grounds are a defining feature. Expansive lawns flow down toward the water’s edge, bordered by ponds and a natural stream that weaves through the property. A conservation-minded approach by the current owners has transformed the land into a true sanctuary, attracting abundant birdlife, including rare duck species. Portions of the land are paddocked, providing scope for stock or horses, while the house itself enjoys its own defined and private setting.

Practicality has not been overlooked. Double internal-access garaging is supplemented by further shedding suitable for vehicles, workshop and equipment storage, offering flexibility for those with lifestyle, recreational or business interests.

For purchasers seeking income potential, the four guest suites offer obvious scope for boutique accommodation, should one wish to revive or reimagine the property’s original lodge intent.

This is a rare offering: a sophisticated coastal estate that combines scale, serenity and versatility in an increasingly sought-after location.

Whether held as a legacy family property, a refined permanent residence or a future-focused lifestyle investment, it represents an opportunity that is seldom repeated in Opoutere.

Architectural splendour and space

With the trademark quality and flair of award-winning Turner Road Architecture, this supremely elegant residence set on an elevated site in exclusive Tamahere, is designed to impress. Every last detail of this energy efficient home has been perfected by our astute vendors, including half a kilometre of piping for hydraulic underfloor heating, eighteen solar panels and zoned central heating.
Framed by post and rail and sitting on 5006sqm (more or less) of lush lawn and gardens, there are even Turner Road Architecture plans for a mini version of the main home on the expansive lower level of the section. With its own separate driveway entrance, you are future-proofing your options for multigenerational living on the property. Alternatively, keep this huge lower lawn empty for the football fanatics in the family or a future tennis court.

This is a home that commands your attention from the outset with its high stud entry, skylights, raked ceilings and barn doors that open to a marvellous open plan lounge/dining and kitchen area. Canadian upcycled Oak adorns the facade of the electric fireplace that pushes heat out beautifully into the lounge area, where high rafters with handpainted galvanised joinery are a striking feature.
At the other end of this impressive space is the kitchen with its granite benchtops, induction cooking, and a roomy scullery complete with second F&P dish drawer. There's even a louvred internal window to the home's office or fifth bedroom, in case a coffee order comes in from those studying or working hard on the other side of the kitchen wall!

Everyone loves a separate guest wing and this one caters well for children or visitors, with sensor lighting leading you to three sunny bedrooms and a spacious bathroom. The versatility of this wing is a feature- it works well as a locked off Air BnB facility, with one of the bedrooms currently being used as a third lounge with its own patio. A powder room for guests sits off the main foyer for convenience.
The heating of both the home's water and underfloor pad is masterful.

There are homes well suited to multi-generational living - and then there’s 67 St Leger Road, offering 490sqm (more or less) of family sized living across two dwellings. The options here are unmatched.

Set in the heart of Te Awamutu’s most sought-after lifestyle enclave, this substantial property brings together family living, flexibility and lifestyle on an impressive scale, while keeping you within easy reach of town, Cambridge and Hamilton City.

The main residence is anchored by an expansive, high quality, open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, where generous proportions and designer touches create a home not defined by its substantial footprint, but by its ability to ensure a place for everything, a place for everyone.

With six bedrooms, the primary suite is set apart from the balance of the accommodation, it includes excellent wardrobing and ensuite as well as sliding doors to the landscaped section overlooking the pool - what a spot for a quiet morning coffee.

Upstairs you'll enjoy the balance of the accommodation, an additional two family bathrooms, one with standalone bath, and the generous second living space or rumpus room.

Practically, the property includes three heat pumps, is well insulated and fully double glazed. The garaging is impressive with 2.5 car garaging for the main residence - lots of space for a workshop or the ride on mower, plus an additional double garage to compliment the second dwelling. Freshly garage carpeted - 4.5 car garaging is a standout.

What really sets this property apart, however, is the self-contained two-bedroom dwelling. Complete with its own facilities and double garage, it can be completely separated from the main residence or connected via internal access – creating exceptional options for extended family, older children, guests, working from home or potential home and income.

Outside, the lifestyle continues. A saltwater swimming pool is ready for summer, expansive lawns give children and pets plenty of room to play, and there’s even space to explore adding a tennis court. And despite the sense of space, you’re far from isolated. The vibrant township of Te Awamutu is on your doorstep, including excellent schooling options, with Cambridge an easy drive and Hamilton comfortably within commuting distance.

Eight bedrooms. Multiple living areas. Two residences. Generous garaging. A saltwater pool. And space to make it your own. Whether you’re bringing generations together, accommodating a growing family or looking for a property with home-and-income potential, you'll enjoy a level of versatility that will meet your requirements for years to come.

Iconic. Innovative. Unforgettable.

Earthship Te Timatanga “New Beginnings” is one of New Zealand's most celebrated examples of sustainable architecture. A pioneering home that reimagines what modern living can be. This extraordinary Coromandel property was conceived not simply as a house, but as a complete living system, designed to work in harmony with nature while providing exceptional comfort, beauty and self-sufficiency.

Positioned on a north-facing terrace in the beautiful Puketui Valley, the Earthship grants commanding views of the Pinnacles and Coromandel Ranges. Built according to Earthship principles, the four-bedroom residence combines natural and recycled materials, passive solar design and innovative water and energy systems to create a home that is both deeply practical and profoundly inspiring.

The home's north-facing orientation maximises solar gain, drawing winter sunlight deep into the living spaces through expansive glazing. This warmth is captured by the substantial thermal mass of the earth-filled walls, which slowly absorb, store and release heat over time. The result is a highly effective natural climate control, creating stable, comfortable interior temperatures throughout the seasons.

A lush indoor growing corridor forms a living connection between spaces, bringing light, greenery and life into the daily experience of the house. This is architecture with a story, where every surface reflects creativity, purpose and a commitment to building sustainably.

For those seeking more than just another beautiful home, Te Timatanga offers something far rarer: a compelling vision of how the future of living might look.
