3001 State Highway 2, Waitakaruru, Hauraki, Waikato

Escape to the country with this 1.3-hectare lifestyle block in rural Waitakaruru. Nicely located between Ngatea and Pokeno in a prime spot on SH2, this wonderful property enjoys easy access to Auckland, Hamilton and the beautiful Coromandel – a lifestyle dream with serious convenience.

A spacious five-bedroom, three-bathroom home sits proudly on the property, offering charm, functionality and endless flexibility. The original home was built in the 1930s, with a more recent modern extension above the basement garage – creating a two-level layout that’s ideal for large families, guests, or anyone who likes to have a bit of extra room to spread out and enjoy.

The upstairs living is a highlight – the kitchen is filled with natural light and has a sunny, open-plan layout that flows to the dining and lounge. A heat pump ensures year-round comfort and sliding doors open out to a gorgeous covered porch with fabulous rural views stretching out to the horizon. Formal dining and a beautiful second lounge with bay window and decorative ceilings provide elegant spaces for entertaining or relaxing.

The original kitchen and living space offers charming character and practicality, with a beautiful timber benchtop, lovely outlooks and a welcoming feel. This could be the perfect guest zone, work-from-home suite, or simply extra room for the family. Multiple living areas, a separate lounge, and a mix of fireplaces and heat pumps make this home feel both grand and cosy at the same time.

Outside, the land is lovely and flat, and wonderfully usable. The area immediately around the home is nicely fenced for safety, with mature trees behind the house providing extra privacy and a scenic rural backdrop. A huge high-stud farm shed adds even more value and extra flexibility.

This is a beautiful warm and welcoming home in a peaceful and picturesque setting, with postcard views and endless appeal. Don’t miss this opportunity to enjoy space, freedom, and rural living at its best.
