17c Lissette Road, Newstead, Hamilton

Beautifully Reimagined, Exceptional Infrastructure

Beautifully restored and thoughtfully enhanced, this charming Newstead bungalow offers the kind of lifestyle many aspire to but rarely find. Set on approximately 2.050 hectares with five watered paddocks, exceptional shedding, yards and infrastructure already in place, country living can begin from day one.

Behind its character-filled frontage lies a remarkable transformation. New flooring, comprehensive interior and exterior repainting, along with extensive wiring and plumbing upgrades, have modernised the home while preserving its timeless appeal.

Three bedrooms and two bathrooms provide comfortable family living, including a private master ensuite. Most windows have been upgraded to double glazing, while select original features, including the front door, remain as a nod to the home's heritage. A ducted heating and cooling system ensures year-round comfort, while an electric fireplace provides warmth and ambience during the cooler months.

Two separate living areas offer flexibility for every stage of life. One centres around the warmth of an electric fire, while the other, complete with a heat pump, is currently enjoyed as the ultimate retreat, entertainment space or "man cave" and easily adapts to suit changing needs.
Outside, the lifestyle unfolds. Morning coffee nooks, backyard barbecues, long summer afternoons by the pool and entertaining family and friends; it's all catered for here. Established gardens provide a beautiful backdrop, while the onsite orchard offers seasonal rewards and a touch of self-sufficiency.

The five watered paddocks provide flexibility for horses, cattle or both, with well-planned access making daily farm tasks simple and efficient. A loading ramp and cattle yards strengthen the property's rural credentials, while a chicken coop (negotiable) and dedicated fish baiting station (negotiable) further enhance the lifestyle on offer.

Then there's the shedding. A high-stud boat shed easily accommodates a caravan, motorhome, camper or boat, while the double garage provides everyday convenience. The impressive 105sqm shed, upgraded with some new trusses and significant improvements, offers endless possibilities for workshops, home businesses, hobbies, classic cars or storage.

All this is complemented by a highly convenient location. The inland port and University are nearby, Hillcrest is approximately five minutes away, and the city centre is around ten minutes from your door. Families will appreciate zoning for sought-after schools including Newstead Model School, Berkley Normal Middle School and Hillcrest High School.

Here, weekends fill quickly, the sheds are well used and there's always a reason to spend a little longer outdoors. It's a lifestyle to enjoy, a home to be proud of, and an opportunity that's becoming increasingly difficult to find.
