112/114 Great South Road, Huntly, Waikato

Private oasis

Move in for summer and lap up the lifestyle afforded by this landmark home on a large 2256sqm (more or less) section with river views. Rarely do properties of this calibre come to market. Having been treasured for three successive generations, this one took more than 40 years for a new chapter to open. And here it is! New owners can move in immediately and enjoy a character home with a wonderful Arts and Crafts vibe, two living areas, spacious bedrooms and two sunrooms. While the brick and rough cast home certainly delivers wonderful 1930s charm, it also boasts the modern comforts of three heat pumps, street-front double glazing and an en-suite off the master bedroom.

Kitchen and scullery team up to take care of everyday duties, and two bathrooms ensure good functionality. There's no need to leave home to swim, play tennis or enjoy picturesque garden picnics. This private and scenic oasis is made for family fun and entertaining. Store the boat or motorhome in the high-stud double garage or develop it into a home workshop. Alternatively, simply sit back and landbank this iconic north Huntly property and reap the benefits further down the track. Urban spread will catch up quickly. Local amenities are nearby, Hamilton is a 30-minute drive and Auckland a mere one hour via the expressway.
