Offered to the market for the first time in 25 years, this is a rare opportunity to secure a tightly held family property that has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully improved over time. Set privately down an approximately 350m driveway in the heart of sought-after Newstead, this exceptional lifestyle property delivers an outstanding combination of privacy, space, functionality, and lifestyle appeal with the convenience of being only minutes from town.
This home was significantly extended in 2010 and extensively renovated in 2011, transforming it into the spacious and versatile residence enjoyed today. Just recently, the property has benefited from both internal and external repainting, providing added confidence for future owners. The result is a substantial family home that seamlessly combines the character of its original era with the comfort, scale, and practicality demanded by modern lifestyle living.
The home features four spacious bedrooms, with potential to create a fifth room if required. The impressive master suite provides a true retreat, complete with a large walk-in wardrobe and beautifully appointed ensuite.
At the heart of the home is a modern kitchen featuring quality appliances, extensive bench space, abundant storage, and a convenient indoor-outdoor servery window that connects naturally with the outdoor entertaining area.
Multiple living areas remain one of the most sought-after features among today's buyers, and this home delivers with three separate living spaces, allowing family members to spread out and enjoy their own activities while remaining connected. The covered portico creates the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining in the warmer months, whether hosting family gatherings, summer barbecues, or simply relaxing with friends. Privately positioned behind the home, the concrete in-ground swimming pool provides an outstanding space to cool off, unwind, and enjoy.
Beyond the established house grounds lies approximately 9,200m² of grazing land, thoughtfully divided into three paddocks. Established mature trees throughout the property provide valuable shelter and shade for pony's or a variety of livestock. The property is further enhanced by multiple sheds including a multi-bay shed that provides extensive space for farm equipment, vehicles, machinery, boats, workshops, or additional storage.
Zoned for Newstead Country School, Berkley Intermediate, and Hillcrest High School, with a bus stop at the end of the driveway and cycleway access to the University of Waikato and Te Awa River Ride, this superb location combines rural charm with everyday convenience. Equally appealing to families, professionals, and retiring farmers seeking a peaceful lifestyle without sacrificing access to city amenities.
Properties offering this level of completeness and versatility are exceptionally difficult to find. Come and view this outstanding lifestyle opportunity at one of the open homes or request a private viewing and discover why tightly held properties of this calibre are so rarely available.
