37 Scotsman Valley Road, Tauwhare, Waikato

Welcome to Whimple Manor, a captivating lifestyle property in Tauwhare, New Zealand, set on 8,553sqm (more or less) of idyllic land. Designed around an English-themed garden, this estate boasts a long, sweeping driveway framed by two small paddocks and stunning post and rail fencing. The roundabout and pebble driveway evoke the charm of the property's namesake, Whimple Manor, while the 145-year-old street lights, brought back from England, add a sense of timeless elegance.

The beautifully landscaped garden includes a variety of fruit trees and multiple small sheds for gardening tools and equipment. A Swedish pine sauna has been perfectly replicated, and the spa pool enclave, adorned with Olympic cross-country skis from the vendor's competitive past, adds a unique personal touch. Outdoor entertaining is a dream, with two main areas: a paved patio with outdoor furniture and a brand-new sun umbrella, and a remarkable replica "Colosseum", housing a BBQ and fire pit, perfect for sitting around the fire in the summer evenings.

The family home features four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living areas, and a dedicated dining room. The kitchen, framed by a wisteria-draped window, offers sweeping views of the stunning garden. A large fireplace enhances the home's warm, inviting atmosphere, while multiple heat pumps ensure comfort in all seasons. Ample wood piles throughout the property keep the fire burning in the cooler months.

Located centrally to Hamilton, Cambridge, Morrinsville, and the airport, and just minutes from the expressway, Whimple Manor is both private and convenient. Tauwhare village itself is full of charm, with beautiful properties, a handy primary school, and buses to the in-zone Hillcrest High and Berkley Intermediate. Thoughtfully planted, the easy-care garden and established trees complete this truly exceptional property, blending classic English style with modern convenience.
