New to the market, this exceptionally tidy and truly unique 4.04 ha property offers a remarkable range of lifestyle, recreational, or tourism possibilities. Formerly the Huiroa School, the grounds and improvements have been well cared for and are ready to welcome their next chapter. The property features three primary buildings: two classroom-style structures - including one with a bar and kitchen area - and a well presented three bedroom home complete with an external garage. Supporting infrastructure includes an older school bus shed, a storage shed with stage, plus a second storage or calf shed, providing excellent flexibility for a variety of uses. Approximately 3 ha of grazing complement the improvements, along with a swimming pool (filter system not operational) and a combined tennis/netball court. Previously utilised for private social functions, the property offers genuine scope to develop as a lifestyle retreat, event venue, or boutique tourism base. Located just 25 km east of Stratford, the Huiroa and Douglas districts serve as the gateway to the rapidly developing Eastern Taranaki back-country tourism corridor. Popular attractions such as the Forgotten World Highway, golf cart adventures, mountain biking, hiking, and horse riding draw a steady flow of visitors year-round - motorcyclists, caravanners, and camper-vanners included. With its scale, infrastructure, and compelling location, this property presents outstanding potential for purchasers seeking a distinctive lifestyle holding or an inspired tourism venture. Opportunities of this calibre are seldom available - don't miss your chance.
