With the owners keen to achieve a sale before Christmas, this enchanting lifestyle property presents an exceptional opportunity in the foothills of Te Mata Peak. Offering the perfect blend of village convenience and rural charm, the 1.2 ha setting is a peaceful haven surrounded by established gardens, fruit and nut trees, and two fenced paddocks - ideal for those who value space and a genuine connection to nature.

Originally built in the 1930s and thoughtfully relocated, the weatherboard home exudes timeless character while offering all the comforts of modern living. The open-plan living and dining area enjoys picture-perfect views across the paddocks, with a wood burner creating a welcoming atmosphere and a heat pump and transfer system ensuring year-round comfort. Wool carpets add luxury underfoot, while the built-in window seat invites you to pause and take in the outlook.

The spacious kitchen combines heritage warmth with contemporary design, featuring original timber flooring, stone benchtops and a generous island perfect for family life. The master suite opens to the deck and includes a walk-in wardrobe and tiled en-suite with bath and underfloor heating. Two additional bedrooms plus multi-use office space share a family bathroom, complemented by a separate laundry and guest WC for convenience.

Outdoor living is effortless, with decks wrapping two sides of the home and expansive lawns offering plenty of room for children and pets. A large, recently added double garage provides excellent storage and workspace, and the home has been re-roofed within the past five years.

Following Cyclone Gabrielle, the property has undergone extensive geotechnical and ground remediation, ensuring confidence and peace of mind for the future.

A true lifestyle gem combining charm, character and a superb location close to village life and Te Mata Peak’s walking and bike tracks - 137 Tauroa Road is a place to live well and breathe deeply..
