128 Taotaoroa Road, Matamata, Matamata-Piako, Waikato

If you’ve been dreaming of your own slice of country paradise, here’s your chance. A sweeping driveway leads you up to the welcoming homestead on the 4-hectare (more or less) lifestyle block. Conveniently located in the Hinuera Valley, a short commute to Matamata (14km) and Cambridge (23km). Centrally located, it’s less than an hour’s drive to Tauranga, Rotorua, and Hamilton.

This block is currently operating as a successful calf-rearing business, the property includes extensive shedding and a partially renovated home that blends country charm with modern functionality.

The three bedroom home is perfectly placed to make the most of the sun and lovely rural views. It has new double glazing throughout but still keeps its original character and charm. French doors open out to a spacious deck — the perfect spot to sit back and enjoy the picturesque country views.

Surrounded by easy rolling pastures, established specimen trees and quality out-buildings, it’s an ideal for rearing calves, establishing an equine setup, fattening some sheep or beef or simply enjoying the peace and space of country living. With well-fenced paddocks, reliable bore water supply and quality grazing land, it provides the ideal foundation for a variety of farming or hobby-farming options.

The property is also in close proximity to the world-class Takapoto Estate, while those who love the outdoors will be drawn to the nearby Waikato River Trails and Lake Karapiro — all ideal for water sports, cycling, and recreation. With all the hard work done, this is a place where your family can settle in and truly feel at home in the Waikato countryside.
