Property Description

Welcome to a lifestyle opportunity that blends character, comfort, and smart long-term investment value.

Privately set among the trees, this large character home is bathed in sunshine. Inside, ornate ceilings and rich Rimu floorboards showcase its heritage charm, while a refreshed interior with neutral tones and new carpet ensures modern versatility.

The living area flows through double doors to ample decking, perfect for both entertaining and quiet moments. A private dining room adds a touch of elegance, while the generous master suite with ensuite and additional three large double bedrooms provide space for family and guests. Abundant storage, a built-in fire, and a heat pump promise year-round comfort.

Outside, easy-care gardens frame the entrance with a welcoming turning circle. A double garage and space for additional shedding are valuable bonuses. Located just 15 minutes from Rotorua, the property also offers excellent business visibility along a main arterial route.

Adding to the lifestyle appeal is a true investment asset: a seven-year-old ETS-registered Cupressus Ovensii tree crop, a great long-term investment. Alongside this sits a paddock being ideal for lifestyle animals or room for children to play. This is a home filled with warmth and personality, offering the rare combination of lifestyle living today and future returns tomorrow.
