Discover a unique Spanish-style hacienda in Pukekohe, backing onto the native forest of Roosville Park. Inspired by Mediterranean travels, this private plaster home was custom-built by its late owner to showcase his craft.

The three-bedroom house features rustic touches and a sunny deck with a vine-covered pergola, offering serene views. Ideal for a couple or family, this comfortable home provides a country feel close to town amenities and 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.
