75 Otonga Valley Road, Raglan, Waikato, Waikato, 3295, New Zealand
This much-loved family home with picturesque country views located an easy 20-minute commute to Hamilton and 15 minutes to Raglan is now on the market after 25 years. Nature beckons you home up a tree-lined driveway and perfection awaits you. The pristine 1930s Californian bungalow is set in an idyllic location and extends over 3.983 hectares.
An immaculate family home that combines character with modern living. There are 3 bedrooms; two double and one single – decorated with a little one in mind. Dr Seuss has been here. Generous dining and living open onto expansive decking with sensational north-facing rural views over the valley. Three-metre bi-fold doors open from the second living area, providing yet another countryside aspect.
The kitchen has beautiful granite benchtops and a large bay window looking out on nature, where the Tui and Kereru feed. The new tiled bathroom with its kauri washstand and natural boulder basin, blend with a beautiful old claw foot bath to provide that hint of nostalgia. Native timber flooring (Matai) flows through the house; complemented by Rimu joinery and stained‑glass window features throughout.
The land is divided into 7 paddocks, complete with a chook house, lots of mature trees, raised vege gardens and a legal water supply from a nearby dam for the stock. A large double garage and extra-high stud shed are a bonus.
The established grounds are a children’s paradise. There is a productive orchard with fruiting trees, including black boy peaches, berries, grapes and limes. Swings of all kinds are hidden among the trees and there is intrigue and delight to be found in the tree house and fairy tree. 500m down the valley road there is a great swimming hole in the local stream. This bungalow beauty is a perfect family haven in a wonderful supportive valley community. Your future is here.
