370 Dansey Road, Ngongotaha Valley

A private family retreat, tucked away in nature yet within easy reach of the city, 370 Dansey Road is a place where family memories are made. Set on 2.979 hectares (more or less), this private sanctuary offers space to roam, play, and unwind - whether it's exploring native bush walks, tending to animals in the paddocks, or gathering around the fire on a crisp evening. Designed by Gerald Stock, the lodge-style home is as welcoming as it is impressive. At its heart, the vaulted timber ceiling with exposed beams creates a sense of space and warmth, while the grand stone fireplace anchors the living area - a cosy hub for family life. The country-style kitchen, complete with a generous walk-in pantry, connects effortlessly to the dining and family areas, making it easy to cook, chat, and catch up on the day. A library and reading nook provide a quiet corner to unwind, flowing onto the expansive kwila deck. With covered seating, an outdoor fire, and wisteria-draped alfresco spaces, it's a setting made for laughter-filled gatherings and summer barbecues. The home offers five spacious bedrooms, including a main suite with an en-suite and walk-in robe. A well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, while the large laundry with an extra shower makes country living a breeze. The Hansen heating system ensures warmth and comfort year-round. The lined attic space, accessed via pull-down stairs, offers a variety of possibilities - whether as a games room, storage, or rumpus area, it's a versatile addition to this already spacious home. A double garage, carport, and ample parking complete this exceptional property, perfectly positioned 15 minutes from Rotorua's CBD, seven minutes from Ngongotaha, and within an hour of Tauranga or Cambridge. Here, life moves at a gentler pace. There's room for adventure, space to breathe, and a home designed for togetherness....
