150 Whangarata Road, Tuakau, Franklin

Bush side lifestyle retreat

Set on an expansive 3.30 hectares (more or less) with a peaceful native bush backdrop, this 263sqm (more or less) cedar-clad home is rich in character, warmth, and timeless appeal.

From the moment you step inside, the home's thoughtful design is evident. Warm timber accents and soaring vaulted ceilings create an inviting sense of space, while multiple living areas offer flexibility for families to relax, gather, or retreat in comfort.

Designed to embrace its natural surroundings, the home enjoys exceptional indoor-outdoor flow, with numerous doors opening to the outdoors, perfect for easy summer living and entertaining. When the seasons turn cooler, comfort is assured with a gas fireplace, and a heat pump in the master bedroom, creating a cosy haven year-round.

Originally designed for a local doctor, the layout includes four generous bedrooms plus a separate consulting or office space, ideal as a home workspace, studio, or even a fifth bedroom if required.

Outdoors, the property continues to impress. A substantial barn with a small stable and loading ramp, three well-sized paddocks, and a standalone craft room or studio provide excellent versatility for lifestyle living. The home is serviced by a private bore with blue light filtration, offering peace of mind and self-sufficiency.

Perfectly positioned between the home and the surrounding native bush, the solar-heated swimming pool enjoys privacy and shelter, ideal for summer days. Established fruit trees including plums, peaches, apples, and grapes enhance the lifestyle appeal, with ample space to expand gardens or orchards further.

Whether it's a tranquil walk through your own private bush on a warm afternoon or enjoying the atmosphere of native New Zealand bush in the rain, this property offers a rare sense of peace and connection to nature.

Conveniently located just five minutes from Tuakau township, and only ten minutes from the motorway at the fast-growing Pokeno township with its new supermarket, this is lifestyle living without compromise.
