Our home is a large (370m2) single story house, with 6 bedrooms (although one has been converted to a gym/office, so only 5 are used as bedrooms). 2 bathrooms with 3 toilets (one in ensuite and 2 stand alone). 3 separate living areas plus garage which has been converted into man cave + dogs living area.
No undercover parking (due to man cave) but our property is gated and we have plenty of secure off street parking.
We also have a heated swimming pool (note this in only heated during summer months) and a spa pool.
We are on 2.5acres in the hills of Whakamarama, sitting on a dairy farm (which is separately owned and operated), with stunning views out over the ocean/islands and the rolling Mindon hills.

Our pets

DogsDogs (2)
Rocky and Ringo are our pet dogs. We adopted them as rescue dogs (brothers) at 3 months old in June 2020, not really knowing how big they would get…
They are now very big dogs, but they are the perfect dogs for a big lifestyle property.
