Simplicity meets substantial scale at this 6.77ha lifestyle property, where single-level living takes its place amongst spectacular rural scenery.

Well-fenced for grazing and established with shelter, the land draws further character from two natural ponds, including one that is stream-fed, and sweeping outlooks, giving the acreage both purpose and presence. Fenced into five paddocks with stock yards, the property is well-equipped for lifestyle farming.

Solid, low-maintenance brick construction fronts a four-bedroom floor plan of family-sized substance, where a modern interior favours clean lines and feature finishes.

Two living spaces give everyday life room to move, beginning in an open-plan kitchen and lounge, where generous bench space and a movable island let the layout shift from preparation to entertaining. The open-plan design also promotes seamless indoor-outdoor flow to the deck and entertaining areas. The dining room forms the central link between the two living zones, before the formal lounge shifts to a quieter pace, with a bay window bringing natural light and open views. A separate office/workspace provides flexibility for working from home.

A verandah draws the outdoors across the width of the home, stepping up to a sunlit central deck for dining before moving to a patio where a pizza oven puts fireside entertaining on the menu.

The four-bedroom, two-bathroom design elevates the master suite through an en-suite and private outdoor privilege, opening directly to a second deck where the spa pool puts panoramic scenery behind every soak.

Two heat pumps, a log burner and heat-transfer system give comprehensive coverage for comfort, before a separate laundry and raised planters carry the practical detail from indoors to out. The garden includes raised vegetable beds and a variety of established fruit trees, including plum, peach, apple and pear.

The sealed driveway puts a seamless finish on the arrival, with a connected single-car garage and workshop, keeping vehicles securely parked beyond the home.

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.
