548 Taihoa South Road, Matamata, Matamata-Piako

Family lifestyle, views and location

Being designed for the site, the location and the sun, this Architecturally inspired family home is something to behold and with a history story to tell.
The 4,618 sqm section (more or less) originally belonged to the Taihoa South Road Primary School built in 1950's. The mature oaks trees that still stand tall at the entrance of the property were planted in 1953 for the coronation of the Queen.
The school was closed in the early 1990's and the classrooms were removed. Next door to the school was the Taihoa Hall, which was built around the 1911's which is now just bare land.
The owners of the property are the original owners who purchased the bare land and built their dream family home in 1993. They developed and landscaped the grounds but kept the original School pool and Tennis court.
Positioned back from the road for privacy the home boasts high ceilings and plenty of windows throughout the spacious living areas allowing ample natural light to stream through the kitchen, dining, family room and formal living. Wooden flooring through the kitchen, dining and family room areas gives the home character and a warm homely feeling plus a heat pump for warmth and cooling. A large built-in desk, great for the children to do their homework or for the person who works from home. The formal lounge with wood burner for ambience has plenty of wall space for artwork and the room can be closed off when you need those quiet times.
Ample storage and bench space in the well-appointed kitchen, laundry to the back of the kitchen also has good storage, and a separate w/c which is well positioned to be used when kids are running around the section or swimming in the pool, no wet feet running through the home.
Four bedrooms, master with heat pump and ensuite which recently received a make-over with a tiled walk-in shower. Main bathroom well positioned to accommodate the other three bedrooms. Every room in the home has a view of the landscaped grounds or surrounding countryside and Kaimai Ranges
Sprawling lawns with mature trees offer plenty of space for the kids, a game of tennis or a swim in the pool, while the sun-soaked patio area ensures you are spoilt for choice when it comes to outdoor entertaining. The grounds have been planted with low maintenance gardens and lawns along with the additional privacy hedging. Double garage plus workshop, and the possibility to allow more shedding.
The location is highly desirable, with the property offering a peaceful country lifestyle with a rural outlook that's sure to leave you feeling revived and refreshed. But it is far from isolated with the Township of Matamata approximately 6 minutes away, Tauranga 35 minutes, Hamilton 56 minutes Taupo 1hr 27 mins and Auckland city a couple of hours away.
Peaceful and private yet incredibly convenient this refreshingly unique and appealing home for those with an eye for creativity is coming on the market for the first time. Call for a private viewing or come along to one of our scheduled open homes.
