1 John Cotter Road, Karangahake, Hauraki

Entry level family lifestyle

Situated in an idyllic, bush-clad setting, this 1,012sqm (more or less) property provides the ideal combination of a peaceful semi-rural lifestyle with proximity to amenities and a tight-knit community.

Updated throughout, the relocated 1970's home has all you need for family-friendly living. An open-plan kitchen, dining and living area flows out through bi-fold doors to a large north-facing deck, ideal for entertaining. Watch the kids and pets play in the fenced front yard while you relax with friends and family. The kitchen features a beautiful Macrocarpa bench and modern appliances, with access to a separate laundry room. A free-standing fire combined with heat pump and a heat transfer system makes this home warm and cosy. Getting firewood is easy and convenient with a storage box located under a separate covered deck area accessed from the kitchen.

If you're after extra storage, somewhere to store the boat or a workshop, there is a separate 6x9m Totalspan garage with power and plenty of space for off-street parking.

The local area is rich in history with Waihi 14km away and Paeroa only seven km's in the opposite direction for all your everyday needs. Weekends can be spent biking the Hauraki Rail Trail, swimming and fishing at Waihi Beach or exploring the numerous walks and tunnels in the Karangahake Gorge, famous for its gold mining history and natural beauty. The main centres of Hamilton and Tauranga are both approx. 80km away.
