Originally built as part of the support network for the Mount Te Aroha television transmission system, this remarkable property has quite literally helped keep the region connected. For the last decade, it has served as a much-loved dwelling, and now it's ready for its next chapter. Set on a generous 1,012m2 section, the substantial 350m2 dwelling is anything but ordinary. The floorplan reflects its unique origins, with four rooms currently used as bedrooms, two rooms functioning as bathrooms, a generous living area, and an enormous central room that was once the building's control centre. Add in the various nooks, crannies and unexpected spaces, and you've got a property that's impossible to compare with anything else on the market. Let's be honest - this is not a weekend makeover. Significant work will be required, but for the right buyer there's genuine opportunity here. Whether you uncover some exceptional bones, embrace the quirky layout or completely reimagine the space, this is a chance to create something truly one of a kind. If ordinary isn't your style, this could be your next great project. To be sold by auction on an "as is, where is" basis.

Built by David Reid Homes and tucked away in a peaceful semi-rural cul-de-sac, this is lifestyle living with a touch of overachievement. Set on a generous section just minutes from town, you get the breathing room without the long commute — the perfect balance of “country calm” and “I still need a decent coffee within five minutes.” Inside, it’s all about space done properly. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area is made for everyday life, while the separate formal lounge steps in when you want a bit of peace… or somewhere to send the kids when the game gets serious. There are three genuinely good-sized bedrooms, plus a primary suite that feels like it’s been given a promotion — complete with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. The family bathroom is wheelchair-friendly with dual access, which is both practical and quietly brilliant for guests or extended family. And then there’s the storage. Not the “we’ll make it work” kind — the “we planned this properly” kind. A full attic with a built-in staircase, excellent storage throughout, and a laundry that actually understands how a household operates (plus a separate W/C to keep things civil). Garaging? Sorted. Large double internal access, plus a high-stud single for the boat, caravan, or that project you swore wouldn’t get out of hand. It’s peaceful, spacious, and just a little bit smug about how well it all works.
