Remember the days of the old school yard... Once alive with the laughter and energy of local children, this land was part of the Waitoa School grounds - the playing fields where generations learned, played, and grew together. Since the school's closure in 2015, the echoes of those days have faded, but the sense of place and community spirit remain strong. Now, this 2-hectare (more or less) parcel of Crown land is being offered for sale, marking the next chapter in its story. With bore water and power already in place (sufficient for the purpose of grazing stock) this is an easily developed and highly versatile block. Established trees provide natural character and shelter, while the absence of restrictive covenants means your vision can unfold freely - whether that's a peaceful country home, small-scale horticulture, or a creative lifestyle venture. Perfectly positioned between Morrinsville and Te Aroha, the property enjoys the tranquility of a small rural community with all the benefits of central Waikato living. Land with this kind of history, charm and potential is a rare find in today's market - a place where the past meets possibility, and the future is yours to shape.
