229 Norwegian Road, Rotoorangi, Waipa

Splendour on the Hill

The view will take your breath away, but it's the chorus of tūī and rosellas in the trees that makes this home feel alive. Each day begins with birdsong and ends with the sight of kāhu soaring across the valley as the sun sets behind the Pirongia and Kakepuku ranges. It is a setting of rare beauty, yet only eight minutes from the heart of Cambridge.

Set on just over 8,000sqm (more or less), the elevated site commands sweeping views of rolling farmland and the dramatic, spiritual silhouette of the mountains beyond. The residence has been completely reimagined through an architectural renovation that fuses luxury, comfort, and enduring design.

Clad in Oblique weatherboard and brick, the residence is wrapped in expansive kwila timber decking that creates seamless indoor and outdoor living. Multiple alfresco living and dining spaces capture the sun at every hour, offering settings for quiet mornings, long lunches, and elegant evenings.

Inside, five bedrooms and three bathrooms are complemented with multiple adaptable living areas, giving the home flexibility for families, entertaining, or multi-generational living. The clever floorplan allows for self-contained accommodation, ideal for extended family, guests, or as a boutique Airbnb.

Architecturally designed by Tawa Architecture, every detail speaks of craftsmanship and quality. Double insulated walls cocoon the interiors in warmth and quiet, while ducted central heating and cooling ensure comfort year-round. Interiors layer muted tones, textures, and lighting to create a serene, sophisticated aesthetic.

The grounds include extensive garaging and a 12m x 9m workshop, catering to storage and lifestyle needs. Adding further value, the property comes with a 70sqm resource consented building platform for a secondary dwelling.

From the architecture to the craftsmanship to the setting itself, this is a home of rare calibre, grand yet welcoming, sophisticated yet soulful. A home where returning each day feels like a privilege.
