849 Bayley Road, Wharepuhunga, Waipa

If you've been craving space, privacy, and a backdrop that looks like it was painted just for you, this lifestyle property delivers in every direction. Set in an area cherished for its quiet rural character, this 1.22 ha (more or less) haven of gently undulating, productive land offers room to breathe and room to grow. With its own bore water and four well-fenced paddocks all with water supply, it is perfectly set up for a few animals, a pony for the kids, or the opportunity to make full use of every inch of productive land on offer. And then there is the view. Elevated just right, you look out to the majestic trio of Kakepuku, Mount Pirongia, and Maungatautari standing proudly as your daily backdrop. Morning coffee with mountains. Evening sunsets with silhouettes. It is a scene that never grows old. The home itself has been lovingly cared for over the past 21 years, and you can feel it the moment you arrive. Step through the front door and directly ahead is the fourth bedroom, currently configured as a generous office. This is no pokey work-from-home nook. It is a true room with flexibility for guests, teenagers, or business use. Turn left and step into the main lounge, a welcoming haven that can be separated by a striking timber feature door, allowing you to shut out the movement of daily life and enjoy a quiet escape. Beyond this, the layout unfolds into a generous open-plan kitchen and dining zone. Expansive in scale, this area could easily accommodate a second living nook or relaxed sitting space, anchoring the home as its natural gathering point. The Fisher wood fireplace with wetback not only creates ambience but also practicality, keeping the home warm while supporting your hot water. It is country living done right. Down the hallway are two further bedrooms, a large family bathroom, separate toilet, and a laundry with direct outdoor access. At the end of the hall, a short flight of stairs leads you to the master suite. Elevated and light-filled, this spacious retreat offers its own ensuite, dressing room, built-in wardrobes, and windows that invite the sun to pour in each morning. Outside is where this property truly reveals its magic. A paved patio area provides the perfect spot for long lunches, summer BBQs, and relaxed evenings under open skies. Nearby, vegetable gardens stand ready to be planted, waiting for fresh produce and seasonal harvests. Wander a little further and you will discover a small forest of established native trees. It has that enchanting, tucked-away feeling. A place for children to explore, or simply to enjoy the birdsong. Adding even more versatility is a separate two-room cottage complete with a kitchen bench, sink, and a small bathroom with shower, toilet, and handbasin. Previously used as a workshop, it offers exciting potential to be transformed into a self-contained space for teenagers, extended family or guests. Next door you will find two stables and an additional workshop, completing the lifestyle picture. This is more than just a home. It is a property where memories are made, where sunsets are savoured, and where the rhythm of rural life becomes your everyday reality. If you've been waiting for something with heart, land, and a view that speaks for itself, this could be the one. Deadline Sale: all offers to be submitted by 2pm on Thursday 26th March 2026
