Are you looking for the serenity of the country but the comfort of having a community?

Situated in the mouth of the Karangahake Gorge is a 1970's home that has been renovated and refurbished to a modern standard. Facing northeast the home is both warm and dry with a deck off the lounge so you can soak up the sun to your hearts content with views over the river and out to Karangahake mountain. Inside on the upper level, there are three bedrooms, all double in size, with separate lounge, dining and kitchen, ideal for the busy family life. Downstairs you will find the garage is currently utilised as an art studio, with access to a self-contained unit comprising one bedroom, living area & bathroom making the space ideal for the work from home situation or B&B if you wanted to take advantage of the Hauraki Rail Trail at your back door.

Outside you will find pleasant views of the surrounding valley in the distance with blooming gardens at your feet. Sneak around the back and you will find a path to a surprisingly functional and lockable man shed perfect to house additional tools with an attached tack room for the extras.

The area is rich in golden history with Waihi 14.3km to the East and Paeroa 8.1km to the West for all your everyday needs. Schooling, medical, supermarket are all a leisurely drive. Weekends can be spent biking through the Hauraki Rail Trail, which goes through the Karangahake Gorge featuring a 1km tunnel filled with glowworms. With Waihi Beach nearby this makes the ideal place to cool off in the warmer summer months if you get tired of swimming in the freshwater of the Ohinemuri River across the road. The main centres, Hamilton and Tauranga are both under 85km away so if the lure of the big city lights is something your not really to fully cut off then this central location will help ease the transition.

Come and see how much of a golden find the community in Karangahake is!
