Versatile living with income, shedding +SH2 access

Tucked back from SH2 with access onto Ferndale Road, this 3.16 hectare (more or less) well-positioned property presents an ideal setup for blended living, passive income, or both - with a beautifully updated character home, a fully self-contained cottage, and a sleepout in the large 218sqm (more or less) shed.

Step inside the newly renovated three bedroom home and you'll find a space that balances heritage charm with crisp, modern living. Decorative ceilings and leadlight windows nod to its origins, while the kitchen and bathrooms have been brought smartly into the now. Light spills through wide windows into the open-plan kitchen and lounge, where timber floors and soft grey carpet add texture and warmth. The connection to the outdoors is seamless, with a covered front veranda and spacious grounds for relaxed outdoor living.

A short walk away, the one-bedroom (more or less) cottage is a tidy standalone dwelling with its own entrance, heat pump, kitchen, and bathroom - ideal for extended family, visiting guests or as a rental income source (up to Healthy Homes Standards). Positioned for privacy, it's just close enough to stay connected but distant enough for genuine independence.

To the rear, a large high-stud shed with dual roller doors provides excellent utility - whether for workshop, storage, or business use - and includes a separate lined sleepout. This added space works well as a teenage hangout, studio, or a third accommodation option to further expand earning potential. The driveway and roundabout is completed with industrial grade concrete, allowing large trucks to drive on it with ease. Outside, the land is well-fenced into 5 paddocks and gently contoured, with a motorcross track, there is hours of endless fun to be had for the whole family. For the green thumb there is an abundance of fruit trees and vege gardens.

Positioned just minutes from town and handy to arterial routes (including Auckland Airport being 60.8km away, and Hamilton being 80km away, this property delivers a rare blend - a stylish, comfortable base with built-in income options and room to evolve. Weekends can be spent fishing in The Firth of Thames, biking on the Hauraki Rail Trail or the Maramarua Forest Park. The property is in zone for Hauraki Plains College, with schooling for the young ones at Maramarua Primary School so you can rest assured there is quality schooling if your moving to the area.


Whether you're seeking a self-sustaining lifestyle or simply want more flexibility from your land and buildings, this one is worth your time.
