Lifestyle Supreme with the hint of an African safari on your backdoor step - lifestyle properties don't come more special than this.

Backing onto Hamilton Zoo and just eight minutes from the city, this sprawling 3.6ha property has loads on offer, including a whopper four-bedroom home and a private two-bedroom double-glazed brick home with its own access. Perfect for families who desire a more sustainable lifestyle, the land is divided into numerous paddocks, has stock-loading facilities, sheds, an orchard, a chicken coop and cows. A wonderful back-to-nature ambience pervades the property, the rural views are a tonic, and the soundtrack of exotic animals is not something you usually hear in the Waikato countryside.

Versatility defines the main home (319m2).  Spacious, sunny, light-filled living areas overlook the lush landscape. The large, functional kitchen has a direct view to the lower-level deck where a pool and spa beckon for relaxation and family fun.

One wing contains a suite of multi-purpose rooms, with independent access. This flexible wing extends living options and caters superbly to home-based workers and professionals.

Generous accommodation balances the wealth of shared areas. The master bedroom has an ensuite and walk-in robe, and bathrooms feature domed showers. There is a powder room, a laundry, ample storage and a double garage. Heat pumps, gas infinity hot water, ceiling fans, and good sun orientation make the home super comfy and economical to run.

Hidden on the property, the second dwelling (134m2) is ideal for extended family or income. It has open plan living, a sun-soaked patio, a disability-friendly bathroom, double garaging, a heat pump and gas infinity hot water.

A big, versatile 120sqm (mol) shed and a man-cave-style shed add value. Two bores feed the property, which has been well-maintained and boasts an excellent array of fruit and nut trees, and veggie boxes.
