This unique Spanish-style home in Pukekohe, backing onto Roosville Park, offers private native forest views. Inspired by Mediterranean travels, the owner, a plasterer, custom-built the hacienda to showcase his skills.

The property features three bedrooms, rustic touches, and a sunny deck with a vine-covered pergola. Its location provides a country feel while being close to Pukekohe's amenities and train station.

Ideal for a retiring couple or a family, this distinctive home is listed with Bayleys.

The plastering was all done by the owner's late husband, Mike Moloney.

The interior is open plan, easy-care and modern.

Connection to the outdoors is important here. The home backs onto a reserve, with native bush.

The deck is the owner’s favourite place in the home.

The owner's grandkids "disappear" into the bush when they visit. There are rope swings and tracks to play on.

Inside, the home has three double bedrooms, including this master suite.

The home also has two bathrooms.

Two reception rooms means there's plenty of space for everyone.
