331 Kawakawa Road, Marotiri

There are properties that offer space, and then there are properties that offer an entirely different way of life. Set across an impressive 38.4200 hectares (more or less), this secluded rural retreat combines a character-filled home, wonderful lake and mountain views, established gardens, substantial grazing and a significant stand of pine trees offering potential forestry value. The sense of escape begins from the moment you arrive. A long, tree-lined driveway winds through established plantings before revealing the home, privately positioned within its surroundings. From here, the outlook opens across rolling countryside towards Lake Taupo and the mountains beyond. Warm, rustic and full of personality, the home feels entirely connected to its setting. Timber ceilings, natural textures and stonework create an inviting country atmosphere, while large windows frame the landscape and bring those remarkable views into everyday life. The kitchen and dining area form a relaxed central hub, complemented by comfortable living spaces including a separate lounge with a traditional open fireplace. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms provide plenty of accommodation, with the master bedroom enjoying a particularly special outlook across the countryside to the lake. Adding to the versatility are two outbuildings set up for additional accommodation, along with two large sheds suitable for storage, hay or farm machinery. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with sheltered entertaining areas and an outdoor fire providing places to gather and enjoy the surroundings throughout the seasons. Established gardens and mature trees envelop the home, creating a peaceful environment where deer are regular visitors. Beyond the home, approximately 38.42 hectares provide considerable grazing for horses, livestock and a range of rural pursuits. The scale of the land offers genuine freedom to shape the property around your own lifestyle, with ample space to establish further equestrian or rural facilities if desired. A vast stand of pine trees adds another dimension, carrying potential forestry value for a future owner to investigate. Alternatively, the trees can remain as part of the landscape, providing shelter and privacy, with future harvesting potentially creating an opportunity to return the land to grazing and increase its usable area over time. Whether your vision involves horses and livestock, forestry, a private family retreat or simply securing a significant piece of land in an extraordinary setting, there is flexibility here that is increasingly difficult to find. This is more than a home surrounded by land. It is 38.42 hectares of privacy, possibility and breathtaking scenery, with a character home at its heart and an outlook that makes the property truly memorable. Private, productive and full of potential, this is country living on a remarkable scale *Price Plus GST (if any)*...
