Character, Views & Room to Breathe

If you've found yourself driving past townhouse after townhouse, dreaming of more space, more privacy and fewer neighbours within earshot, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Positioned on an impressive yet manageable 2,920m² section, this distinctive lifestyle property delivers the space, privacy and freedom people move to the country for, without sacrificing proximity to the city. Less than five minutes from Glenview Shopping Centre and everyday amenities, it offers a lifestyle that is becoming increasingly difficult to secure this close to Hamilton.

Constructed in the 1970s and architecturally inspired, the home possesses a character and individuality rarely found in today's market. The current owners advise that the property was originally built with Chinese feng shui principles in mind, with thoughtful design elements incorporated throughout. The result is a home with genuine personality, warmth and a connection to its surroundings that sets it apart from more conventional homes.

Spread across multiple levels, the floorplan provides flexibility and functionality in equal measure. Upstairs accommodates three bedrooms, a family bathroom, separate toilet and a master bedroom with ensuite. The entry level welcomes you through a generous foyer and includes an office with its own toilet that is currently utilised as a bedroom, along with internal access garaging and laundry facilities.

Multiple living areas create versatility that is increasingly difficult to find. The kitchen, dining and family living spaces enjoy a wonderful connection to the grounds, allowing you to remain connected with outdoor activities while going about everyday life. A spectacular second living room forms the heart of the lower level, featuring soaring angled ceilings, a fireplace and proportions rarely seen in modern homes. Whether entertaining guests, accommodating a growing family, work-from-home arrangements or simply enjoying room to spread out, this space offers endless possibilities.

Step outside and you'll quickly appreciate what makes this property so special. The grounds are large enough to deliver the lifestyle experience buyers crave, yet manageable enough to avoid the workload often associated with larger lifestyle blocks. From the decking and elevated living spaces, expansive views stretch across the surrounding landscape toward Pirongia, creating a picturesque backdrop that changes with the seasons and delivers stunning sunsets year-round.

Recent improvements include new flooring throughout and a complete interior repaint, allowing buyers to move in and enjoy immediately while still retaining scope to further modernise and add value over time. Practical features include triple-car garaging, a 25,000-litre partially buried rainwater storage system with modern pump and three-stage filtration, and a septic system servicing the property.

Families will particularly appreciate zoning for the highly regarded Rukuhia School, a sought-after option that continues to draw buyers to this tightly held area. Other nearby schools include Glenview School, Deanwell School and Tamahere Model Country School. The property is also well positioned for Waikato Hospital, Hamilton Airport, Resthills Park and key transport links via State Highways 3 and 21.

Lifestyle properties of this size and location rarely become available. Offering immediate possession and the opportunity for a fast settlement, this is a chance to secure a unique home that delivers space, privacy, views and potential in equal measure.

Private viewings are available and the property files for this listing can be downloaded directly from the listing on the Lugtons website.

The villa, the land, the lifestyle

Set across 1.18 hectares (more or less) of flat, usable land, this 1915 villa carries the quiet confidence of something that has stood the test of time. Character reveals itself gently; soaring 3.5 metre stud ceilings, stained glass catching the light, and fireplaces that invite slow, cosy winter evenings. A home of quiet comfort and enduring charm.

Inside offers three bedrooms and a family bathroom, with thoughtful updates over time; enough for comfort without losing the home’s soul. It is evident that wiring, plumbing, and repiling work has been carried out progressively over time. There’s space here to shape, restore, and add your own layer, which is where the opportunity lies.

Beyond the villa, the property unfolds in a much more expansive way. This isn’t simply a home with extra land; it’s a property with purpose. The grounds feel private and sheltered, fully fenced for young children and pets. On arrival, the driveway makes an impression of its own; in summer, hydrangeas line the approach in full bloom, creating a soft, colourful welcome. Through the seasons, daffodils and cherry blossoms in spring give way to layers of greenery and colour.

The infrastructure supports a completely different way of living; one that leans into self-sufficiency, creativity, and productivity. A substantial greenhouse sits as a centrepiece, while a collection of versatile sheds and workspaces offer flexibility for projects, storage, or business use. An additional outdoor room adds further possibility, ideal as a home office or studio, equipped with its own toilet facilities.

The land is divided into well-laid-out paddocks, entirely usable. Established fruit trees and a small orchard are complemented by two large walnut trees and maturing native plantings. It’s the kind of setting where children can climb trees, explore, and grow up connected to the outdoors, with the option for sheep to remain and continue the character of lifestyle living. Native birdsong carries through the trees, grounding the property in the rhythm of the seasons; growth, harvest, rest, repeat.

All of this, while still enjoying the convenience of a well-connected location. With close proximity to the University, approximately 4 minutes to Hillcrest and 10 minutes from the city centre, you’re never far from what matters. Zoned for well-regarded schooling, including Newstead Model School, Silverdale Normal School, Berkley Normal Middle School and Hillcrest High School, the setting offers both lifestyle and long-term practicality for families.

Here, the next chapter hasn’t been written yet…and that’s exactly the point. LIM report available upon request. Contact Jaime or Amy for further information.

Whispering lake

If you have been searching for a brand-new lifestyle property that genuinely delivers on every level, this is the one to stop for.
Set on 1.3 hectares (more or less) in the heart of Ararimu, this 2025-built home is everything you would want from a Franklin lifestyle property. The CCC came through in 2026, the finish is exceptional, and it is ready to move into right now.

From the moment you arrive through the automatic gate, the architecture sets the tone. Dark vertical cladding, cedar accents, triple garaging, and a sweeping concrete driveway. This is a home that has been built to impress, and it does not stop at the front door.
Inside, high studs run throughout the entire home, giving every room a sense of volume and light that lifts the whole experience. Distinctive zones have been thoughtfully created across both levels, so the home flows well as one but also functions beautifully in parts. The main living floor is open, light-filled, and designed for the way people want to live. Full-height glazing frames those rolling Ararimu hills on three sides, and the indoor/outdoor connection is seamless across both levels. Dual decks extend the living further, with a timber-lined ceiling and glass balustrade on the upper deck keeping the view completely uninterrupted, and the lower level opening directly out to its own deck as well. Wherever you are in this home, the outside is never far away.

The kitchen is a serious piece of work. A substantial concrete-look island anchors the space, with a cluster of mixed-metal globe pendants overhead that add real personality. Stone benchtops, integrated appliances, and a view straight out to the hills from the sink window. Behind it, the scullery is where the build quality really announces itself. Full-slab gold-veined stone covers the entire splashback wall, lit from below with a continuous strip of under-cabinet lighting. It is the kind of detail you find in architectural homes.
The upper master suite is private and well-proportioned. The walk-in wardrobe is a full joinery fitout in warm timber with LED strip lighting and its own outlook across the deck and paddocks. The ensuite is finished to boutique hotel standard: fully tiled floor to ceiling, heated floors, backlit mirrors, twin heated towel rails, and a double walk-in shower with barn-style sliding glass screen and gunmetal hardware throughout. A second bedroom sits on this level, served by a well-appointed tiled bathroom with heated floors that also functions as a guest bathroom for the main living area.

Head downstairs and the home takes on a different character. A feature textured wall anchors the hallway and sets the tone for the level below. A generous media room, dedicated office, mini bar, and a separate toilet. The second master suite on this level has its own walk-in wardrobe and ensuite finished to the same high standard as upstairs, fully tiled, heated floors, and a freestanding bath that gives it a distinctly indulgent feel. Quality styling and considered finishes carry through every corner of this level, just as they do above.
Out front, tucked beside the garaging, is a self-contained studio with its own entrance, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living area, and a private deck. Perfect for extended family, a dependent parent, or longer-stay guests, without anyone being on top of each other.
Few homes are genuinely set up for multi-generational living or co-ownership between friends or family. This one is. Two master suites across two levels, distinctive zones that allow each level to function independently, and a self-contained studio with its own entrance and outdoor space. Everyone has their own place to land, their own privacy, and their own connection to the property. It is a layout that works for grown children coming home, parents who want to be close but not crowded, friends who want to share something special, or guests who stay longer than a weekend.

Outside, 1.3 hectares of clean pasture surrounds Whispering Lake, with the pond and landscaping currently taking shape. Tank water supply. Room to breathe, and plenty of room to make it your own.
This is a home where the quality of the build, the setting, and the layout all land in the same place at the same time. Brand new, beautifully finished, and ready for the next chapter.

Two Homes, One Address, Zero Compromise

Some properties offer a home. This one offers a whole way of living.
Set on four hectares of established Bombay countryside, 417 Paparata Road has been thoughtfully built up over time into something genuinely rare: a property that works beautifully for the whole family, across every generation, without anyone feeling like they are in each other's way.
The main home is a six-bedroom, three-bathroom residence that tells its story in two parts. The original section has warmth and character that only comes with time. A separate lounge with a wood burner and painted brick feature wall is the kind of room that earns its keep on a winter evening. The kitchen and dining flow naturally together, and a separate toilet downstairs keeps the layout practical for busy family life. Upstairs, two further bedrooms share a well-appointed bathroom, tucked away from the main household with their own sense of quiet.
A breezeway connects the original home to a newer extension that lifts the whole property to another level. Four additional bedrooms, including a generous master suite with a large walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, sit alongside a full family bathroom. Both sections of the home have their own wood burner, so warmth is never an afterthought regardless of where you find yourself on a cold night.
The outdoor entertaining at this property is something else entirely. A permanent structure with full roll-up screens creates an all-weather room that connects directly to the main living area. Festoon lights overhead, outdoor heaters, space for a dining table and lounge furniture, and the kind of atmosphere that makes people stay longer than they planned. Beside it, a laser-cut pergola adds a striking design element to the covered patio, dappling light through its botanical pattern across the outdoor dining and lounge areas. Then there is the spa, tucked into the garden with an outlook across the rolling Bombay hills that makes it easy to relax and unwind.
Beyond the entertaining areas, the property rewards those who take the time to walk it. A dedicated foraging garden winds through the grounds, planted with intention and ready to explore. It is the kind of feature that changes how you think about the land around you, and the kind of thing children remember for the rest of their lives.
The second dwelling sits lower on the property, private and completely self-contained. Two bedrooms, an ensuite, a full bathroom and heat pump. A light filled open plan living area with timber-lined walls and its own deck looking out over the gardens and trees. It reads more like a proper home than a granny flat, which is exactly the point. Whether it is for a parent who wants to be nearby without being underfoot, or extended family who need their own space, it delivers that without compromise.
Beyond the two dwellings, the property continues to impress. A large shed, a separate workroom, a garage, a bottom shed with office, arena and stables with a tack room that are ready and waiting for horses. Four hectares of fenced pasture, established gardens, producing orchards, and a sense of space that simply cannot be replicated on a smaller block.
The location adds another dimension. Bombay School is just down the road, and the property sits within the Pukekohe High School zone. Pukekohe's shops and services are 13kms away. With Drury Central train station opening in 2026, connectivity to Auckland is about to improve significantly, and the Drury South Crossing precinct, one of Auckland's largest mixed-use commercial developments, is bringing jobs, services, and long-term growth to the area. State Highway 1 is 5.4km, Auckland Airport is roughly 38kms, and Auckland Central is 49kms.
This is a property that has been lived in and loved, and it shows in every decision that has been made. The infrastructure is here, the space is here, and the lifestyle is ready to hand over to whoever comes next.

Occupying its own private wing, the master suite is a true sanctuary, featuring a luxurious freestanding bath, walk-in shower, and walk-behind wardrobe. The children's bedrooms have been thoughtfully designed with built-in desks, floor-to-ceiling wardrobes and integrated storage solutions.

Year-round comfort is assured with central ducted heating via dual Daikin systems, automated blackout blinds and underfloor heating throughout each bathroom. A stylish bar and wine station complete with fridge adds another layer of sophistication for those who love to entertain.

Beyond the home itself lies one of the property's most compelling features - approximately 4 hectares of highly usable land offering endless lifestyle possibilities. Whether your dream involves grazing horses, running a few beef cattle or sheep, creating space for children to ride motorbikes, or simply enjoying the freedom and privacy that only land can provide, this property offers the flexibility to tailor the lifestyle to your family's passions.

Practicality has not been overlooked, with a triple internal access garage, an additional double shed, excellent storage, two water tanks, septic system and beautifully established grounds. The ride-on mower is even included, ensuring the property remains as easy to maintain as it is enjoyable to own.

Lifestyle, Income & Endless Possibilities

Set across approximately 2.9 hectares of well-fenced, functional land, this exceptionally versatile lifestyle property offers the increasingly rare combination of family living, income potential, business flexibility, and quality rural infrastructure.

Privately positioned amongst mature native plantings, the four-bedroom family home has been thoughtfully designed for practical everyday living. Two separate living areas provide excellent separation for families, with a secondary lounge creating the perfect children's retreat, media room, or informal living space. Accommodation is well catered for, with a generous master suite featuring a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, complemented by three further double bedrooms. Recent upgrades, including beautifully renovated bathrooms and new flooring throughout, enhance the home's fresh and inviting feel.

The home is perfectly orientated for lifestyle living, with a generous wrap-around deck flowing seamlessly from the kitchen and main living areas. Sheltered and private, it provides the ideal setting for entertaining guests, family barbecues, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings in the spa pool.

Adding significant value is the separate two-bedroom cottage, positioned well away from the main dwelling to ensure privacy and independence. Constructed from low-maintenance materials and modernised internally, it provides comfortable accommodation while generating an immediate income stream through the existing tenancy. Whether retained as a rental, utilised for extended family, or held as accommodation for future guests, the cottage adds a level of flexibility seldom found in lifestyle properties of this scale.

Complementing this is a separate beauty clinic comprising a reception area, two treatment rooms, and kitchenette/bathroom facilities. While not consented as a dwelling, the space presents exciting potential for a home-based business, consulting rooms, a studio, hobby space, guest accommodation, or Airbnb-style offering.

Infrastructure is another standout feature. The substantial round barn beside the clinic is supported by two additional double-bay sheds, including one with a lean-to, extensive gravelled parking and manoeuvring areas, quality stock yards, and well-designed loading facilities. Whether your interests are livestock, contracting, storage, vehicles, horses, or simply enjoying the lifestyle, the property is exceptionally well equipped.

Properties offering this level of flexibility are seldom available. Whether you're seeking multi-generational living, home and income, a work-from-home lifestyle, or a well-established small holding with future upside, this is a property that delivers genuine options today while still leaving room to add your own touch tomorrow.

The outdoor entertaining has an effective fire and is adjacent to the kitchen where your friends and family will be sure to create lots of wonderful memories. The flood lit working area, of this cleverly laid out property, lends itself to lots of farming practices. There is a five bay implement shed, which could easily accommodate high vehicles. One bay has a concrete base, one end is closed in and has power, there is a garage shed for mowers, fencing equipment, tools etc, and attached is the woodshed. There is a fully enclosed watered dog run nearby. The second shed is set up as two excellent horse boxes with a yard and loading bay beside. There are cattle yards and loading ramp from second entrance to the property, and eight deer fenced paddocks.

My current owners have absolutely loved living here after retiring from their farm but realise it's time to downsize and hope the new caretakers love it as much as they have. The combined C.V. of both titles is $1,455,000.00.
