9 Rimu Street, Tahuna, Matamata-Piako

Tucked down a private lane - meaning peace, privacy and no passing traffic - this 2005 brick home delivers the kind of space and setup that’s getting harder to find, right in the heart of town on a generous 4155sqm (approx). The home itself is well thought out and built for real life. Open plan kitchen, dining and living form the hub of the home - the kind of space that handles everything from busy mornings to relaxed evenings without missing a beat. A second separate living room gives you options - kids, guests, or just somewhere to shut the door and enjoy a bit of quiet. The primary suite is nicely positioned with its own ensuite and walk-in robe, while the rest of the home is laid out to be both functional and comfortable. Internal access garaging keeps things easy and practical, especially through the cooler months. Covered outdoor entertaining adds another layer of usability - ideal for year-round BBQs, morning coffees or unwinding at the end of the day, regardless of what the Waikato weather is doing. And then there’s the sheds - because let’s be honest, that’s going to be a big tick. A substantial two-bay workshop with carport, plus a separate high-stud shed ready for the boat, motorhome or a collection of toys you probably don’t need but absolutely want.. Plenty of room, plenty of options. Space, privacy, and serious utility - without sacrificing location. Not your average in-town property, and that’s exactly the point.
