So, what’s on offer?

The Lifestyle You've Always Imagined

A rare entry level lifestyle proposition within one of the Waikato's most coveted lifestyle addresses. Opportunities like this don't come along often — and when they do, they don't last.

Tucked at the end of a quiet no-exit lane, offering 7,336m² (more or less) of French provincial-inspired grounds, a beautifully reimagined home, and a location that simply ticks every box.

Privately hedged and established, the grounds here feel like a world of their own. Flat lawns roll between mature plantings, tranquil ponds punctuate the landscape, and somewhere in the background, children are playing hide and seek. This is lifestyle living at its most effortless — and with the scale on offer, there's even the possibility of a minor dwelling, subject to council consent.

Walk to Punnet Eatery for your morning coffee. Stroll to Tamahere village for everyday essentials. And rest easy knowing you're in zone for the much-loved Tamahere Model Country School. The community here is something people don't easily leave.

Originally a Lockwood, this home has been entirely reimagined — cedar-clad extensions, skylights flooding the interior with natural light, refreshed flooring, and a palette chosen to lift and brighten every room. The result is a home that feels both characterful and contemporary, grounded and full of warmth.

At its heart sits a cosy woodburner — the natural gathering point for family life. The clever step-down lounge extension creates a sense of separation without isolation, drawing you into a space that feels connected to both the home and the garden beyond. Above, a mezzanine floor offers a quiet perch — the ideal home office, library, or creative retreat.

The kitchen is well-appointed with excellent storage, and those signature picture-frame windows frame the very best of the outdoors — making even the everyday feel like something worth savouring.

The primary suite occupies the second storey, offering elevated views across the manicured grounds, a generous walk-in robe, and a private ensuite. Two further bedrooms and a family bathroom sit downstairs, while throughout the home, stacker doors and floor-to-ceiling glazing blur the line between inside and out in the most beautiful way.

Separate from the main house, a fourth bedroom with its own ensuite provides exceptional versatility — a guest suite, a teenage retreat, a work-from-home sanctuary. Whatever your household needs, this space adapts.

The double garage adds practical storage, and the grounds do the rest.

Partially double glazed, well-insulated, and finished with Colorsteel roofing, this is a genuinely cost-effective entry point into Tamahere lifestyle living. Whether you're drawn by the character, the location, the school zone, or simply the opportunity to put your own mark on something already wonderful — our owners have loved this home deeply, and it's ready for the next chapter.
