This warm and inviting home has been a family's labour of love over the past 10 years with much of the timber milled from land they own. Clad with macrocapa timber and with rata and tawa flooring throughout the ground floor, the home exudes a rustic lodge feel.

The open plan kitchen and dining with bifold doors opens out to spectacular views of the surrounding farmland and native bush. The separate living area with raked timber ceilings and woodburner provide warmth.

Three large bedrooms, with an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe off the master, are on the ground floor while a separate toilet, bathroom and laundry plus storage room complete the downstairs area. The mezzanine floor includes a large living area and the fourth bedroom. This area has new carpet throughout.

Concrete paths lead to the two-bay garage/shed.

The 9.4588ha (more or less) of rolling land includes ponds and a stream, limestone outcrops and paddocks for the pets or farm animals. Located halfway between Waitomo Caves and the beach at Marokopa, with scenic sights such as the Mangapohue Natural Bridge, Piripiri Cave and Marokopa Falls close by, there is much on offer here. The local primary school is just 1.4km away. Add some landscaping and your own personal touches to further enhance this lovely property and make it your own.
