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 and almost hidden from the outside world. From here, the outlook opens dramatically 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. Outdoor living is equally inviting. Sheltered entertaining areas provide wonderful places to gather, dine or simply sit back and take in the surroundings, while the outdoor fire extends the use well beyond the summer months. Established gardens, trees and thoughtfully planted grounds envelop the home, creating exceptional privacy and a peaceful environment where deer are regular visitors. But it is the scale and versatility of the landholding that sets this property apart. Across approximately 38.42 hectares there is considerable grazing suitable for horses, livestock and a range of rural pursuits, giving buyers genuine freedom to shape the property around their own lifestyle. For equestrian buyers, the combination of open land, privacy and space provides an exciting foundation from which to establish further facilities if desired. The property also includes a vast stand of pine trees. These trees carry potential forestry value and may provide an additional avenue for a future owner wishing to investigate harvesting and the commercial potential of the timber. Alternatively, they can remain as part of the landscape, contributing shelter, privacy and the wonderful sense of seclusion that defines the property, while harvesting could open up the opportunity to return the land to grazing (as a long-term project) and further increase the usable area of the property. 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 not simply 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)*...
