Country Calm, City Close

There is something particularly appealing about living in Matangi while remaining only minutes from the city. Here, the space and privacy of country living are combined with remarkably easy access to Hillcrest, the University of Waikato, Waikato Hospital and the wider Hamilton area.

Privately positioned in a quiet no exit street and surrounded by quality homes, this substantial residence sits within 5,887sqm of beautifully established grounds. Mature trees frame expansive lawns, creating a setting that feels wonderfully removed from the city despite its convenience.

For professionals and families, the location is especially compelling. Waikato Hospital and the University are within an easy drive, while Hillcrest provides everyday shopping and amenities just minutes from home. The area is also well placed for access to excellent schooling, making it an attractive choice for families looking to settle close to the city while enjoying the space and freedom of Matangi.

Close by, Bilsthorpe Lane Reserve adds another dimension to everyday life. It is a wonderful place to head out for a quiet walk, a morning run or simply take the dogs for a stroll, all without having to venture far from home.

The home itself has a timeless quality. Designed with a larger family in mind, its generous proportions provide multiple living spaces and five bedrooms, complemented by three bathrooms and four toilets. A gracious sweeping staircase creates a wonderful sense of arrival, while period lighting and a beautifully crafted rimu kitchen bring warmth and character.

French doors open from both the family room and lounge to east- and north-facing paved terraces. The wisteria-covered portico offers a lovely setting for morning coffee, overlooking the gardens and established grounds.

Seven heat pumps provide year-round comfort, with easy temperature control as needed. Gas underfloor heating offers an additional option if preferred, while a central vacuum system adds everyday convenience.

Beyond the home, a large swimming pool adds to the appeal of the established grounds, offering a wonderful setting for family fun and summer entertaining. Heat pump heating extends the swimming season, coloured LED lighting brings atmosphere after dusk, and a robotic pool cleaner makes maintenance easier.

An internal access double garage is complemented by a workshop positioned discreetly towards the rear of the property, providing excellent additional space for vehicles, storage or hobbies.

This is a home that doesn’t need to follow trends. It has the proportions, character and established setting that only time can create.

For those wanting the space and privacy of Matangi without giving up the convenience of the city, this is an exceptional proposition, a substantial family home, beautiful established grounds and everything you need only minutes away.
