Start your farming dream

Discover the perfect balance of productivity and lifestyle on this beautiful 140-hectare (more or less) grazing property, privately positioned in the heart of Pukekawa with sweeping rural views and a peaceful, elevated outlook.

Currently grazing dairy heifers, this farm is thoughtfully laid out with gentle rolling contour and is well-fenced and tracked, ideal for efficient stock movement and land utilisation. In addition, approximately 345 bales of hay were made in the current season. Infrastructure is robust and ready for use, including a three-bay shed (featuring two stables and one bay for storage), a classic woolshed, a half-round hay barn and an open storage/implement shed. Water is sourced from a natural spring and pumped directly to troughs across the farm, with a reliable backup system in place to ensure continuity.

At the heart of this stunning property is a light-filled, beautifully styled five-bedroom, plus office, two-bathroom home where comfort and character come together. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living areas are bathed in natural light, with wide windows framing views of the gardens and inviting the outdoors in. A stylish breakfast bar, crisp white cabinetry, and timber accents create a relaxed yet refined hub for family life and entertaining.

A second living area offers valuable flexibility - whether as a media room, guest lounge, or quiet escape - while a double garage ensures everyday ease and security.

Step outside to discover a private retreat: a sun-drenched patio beneath a pergola, perfect for morning coffees or alfresco dinners with a sunset view. Surrounded by mature trees and established gardens, this tranquil setting invites you to unwind, while the full-sized tennis court adds a touch of resort-style living to your everyday routine.

Perfectly located in the Pukekawa district, this exceptional property offers both lifestyle and convenience. Just a short drive to Te Kauwhata or Tuakau for local amenities, you're also well connected to major arterial routes, making Hamilton easily accessible and Auckland within comfortable commuting distance.

Whether you're looking to expand your farming operation or secure a slice of rural paradise for your family, this is an opportunity not to be missed. Properties of this calibre, combining scale, quality infrastructure, and premium lifestyle features, are a rare find.
