23 Morgan Road, Matamata, Matamata-Piako, Waikato

Take the five-minute drive from Matamata into the rolling green Peria hills to this 10.9 hectare (more or less) lifestyle property that truly has it all. This is a property that will appeal to a variety of buyers, from families wanting to raise children with country values (school bus at the gate), to those looking for a peaceful rural retreat with some extra retirement income.

The residence is a twelve-year-old, three-bedroom, quality build that has been thoughtfully designed with practical layout and style in mind. Featuring a large, country-style kitchen where any enthusiastic cook will feel at ease, and open-plan living areas perfect for family time. Beautifully appointed throughout, this home is one you’ll be proud to entertain guests in, as well as simply enjoy with your family. There is also a library/study and a separate office – either of these could be used as a fourth bedroom.

A self-contained hobby room with shower room adjoining the two-car garage could be used for a small business but could also serve as a great space for extended family or guests enjoying a rural escape. Summer fun and relaxation await in the in-ground heated swimming pool, easily viewed from the kitchen window, and there’s a spacious undercover outdoor fire/BBQ area for those warm summer evenings spent entertaining.

Outside, and just a convenient distance from the home, the large shed (21m x 8m) is every bloke’s dream, with ample storage for both farm machinery and the family’s toys, including Dad’s classic car! With an all-concrete floor and lockable doors, it also includes a separate workshop for the serious handyman.

Water is never a concern with your own bore, supplying water for both the house and the troughs. A paddock in front of the home is ideal for grazing cattle or a couple of horses, while the rest of the land is one big platform where maize and silage are grown annually, providing a comfortable return for the current owners.

This is one of the nicest rural retreats to come available around the Matamata area recently. We think it's fantastic, and we’re sure you will too. The owners are serious about moving to town, opening the door to a fantastic opportunity for some lucky new owners.
