A quality set of cattle yards, a large hay barn, and an impressive five-bay lockable shed with concrete floors and single-phase power—complete with an attached self-contained unit -make farm life here effortless.

For the outdoor enthusiast, there is plenty of native areas with walking spaces to be one with nature. At the heart of the property is a stunning 348sqm (more or less) architecturally designed home, crafted with schist and linear cladding. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the breathtaking landscape, while expansive open-plan living connects effortlessly to an oversized deck -perfect for entertaining or simply soaking in the view. The bespoke kitchen is equipped with high-end Miele appliances, including a wall oven, ceramic induction cooktop, built-in stainless steel rangehood, and a dishwasher. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining and living spaces, which are both generous in size and perfectly positioned to capture the ever-changing views.

The master suite is a true retreat, featuring a spacious walk-in wardrobe and a luxurious ensuite with a large double shower. Three additional large bedrooms are complemented by a well-appointed family bathroom, offering comfort and privacy for family or guests. A separate formal lounge provides a quiet space to relax, while the laundry area includes a dedicated drying room for added practicality.

For those who value not just privacy, but true security, this property offers something rare and reassuring. The 2km driveway from the main road ensures complete seclusion - you won't see another soul unless you choose to. It's the kind of place where you can walk outside at night without concern, knowing that you're entirely removed from the world beyond the gate. This sense of safety, along with the stunning views and lifestyle features, is what makes this property not just a home, but a sanctuary.

The home is supported by solar power and a 25,000L water tank with a pump, enhancing its efficiency and self-sufficiency. A Haier two-door Dutch-style fridge/freezer is plumbed into the home, and a double internal-access garage provides secure parking and storage. This is a rare opportunity to secure a lifestyle block that offers the best of both worlds with absolute peace and privacy, yet only 45 minutes from Taupo.

Whether you're seeking a full-time lifestyle change, an income-producing retreat, or a family sanctuary, this is rural living at its finest.
