Some lifestyle properties tick the boxes. This one raises the bar. Set on 4.19 hectares (10.35 acres) of premium land in one of Waipukurau's most prestigious lifestyle enclaves, it sets the benchmark for lifestyle living. Beautifully established and finished to an exceptional standard, this executive-style Platinum Home has been brilliantly designed with family living at its heart. Sun-filled formal and family living spaces wrap around the eastern and northern aspects, flowing seamlessly to an expansive outdoor entertaining area with a covered portico to extend the living even further, creating an all-season setting for entertaining. The bedrooms are generous, with four double bedrooms including a private master retreat, complete with a walk-in wardrobe, an ensuite and door to the terrace. A dedicated office keeps everyday life neatly contained, while the beautifully appointed family bathroom, separate toilet, and separate laundry deliver practicality with beautiful aesthetics. Winter warmth and efficiency have been prioritised, with double glazing, full insulation, a wood burner, a heat transfer system, HRV, and a wetback hot water cylinder. Outside, the infrastructure is well matched to the lifestyle on offer. The 10.35 acres of premium land so close to town is a rare offering in itself, complemented by a three-bay implement shed (one bay enclosed) with its own water tank servicing stock troughs, while two large tanks supply the home. In the lower corner, there is also scope to create a beautiful wetland area, further enhancing an already exceptional setting. One of the property's most outstanding features is its elevated position, capturing views across the Waipukurau Racecourse and township. With the land directly in front forming part of the property, these spectacular views are protected and cannot be built out, providing a rare sense of space, privacy and permanence that is seldom available. Properties of this calibre, on land of this size and in such a tightly held location, are difficult to find. Premium living with a standout Waipukurau address - don't let this one pass you by.

The perfect lifestyle can be a tricky find. You find the house but not enough land. The land but no sheds. The sheds but nowhere for the horses. Or everything you want but too far out of town! Well saddle up, because this 7.19 hectare (17.78 acre) lifestyle just 6.6km from Waipukurau is one seriously well-equipped package with everything you could want, plus so much more! Well-fenced paddocks, a handy access laneway and plenty of room for the ponies, sheep and cattle. Horses are well catered for with a dedicated stable complex complete with horse boxes, tack shed, feed room, wash bay and truck or float shed, plus an arena. No horses? No problem, that's a lot of useful shedding with plenty of other uses. There's also a two-stand woolshed, sheep and cattle yards, holding paddocks, loadout race, further farm sheds, rainwater collection tanks and two large dams. And we haven't even got to the house! Sitting beautifully in an elevated position amongst established trees and rambling country gardens, the four-bedroom cottage has plenty of personality, with a wraparound deck and outdoor entertaining that makes the most of those sweeping rural views. The open-plan kitchen and living flows to the deck, with separate dining, a freestanding fireplace and a big window seat that's just asking for a cuppa and a good book. Four bedrooms with heat pumps in two, while two additional spaces offer options for a home office, studio, craft room, storage or kids' hangout. Lifestyle properties this much land, infrastructure and so close to town are a rare find. Don't let this one slip by!
