Long before they remember the floorplan, they'll remember the adventures.
The afternoons spent exploring the reserve. The games that stretched long past dinner. The tree forts, scraped knees, backyard cricket matches, and summer evenings when everyone gathered on the deck while the kids squeezed every last minute from the day.
Backing directly onto the Ohauiti Reserve, this is the kind of property becoming increasingly difficult to find. A place where childhood still happens outdoors, where there's room to roam, and where family life has the space it deserves. Set within the sought-after Rowesdale subdivision, this substantial brick and cedar home has been designed to adapt as your family grows. The heart of the home brings everyone together, with seamless flow from the kitchen and dining area to a large private deck made for entertaining, celebrating, and creating memories with the people who matter most. Yet just as importantly, there's space to spread out.
Multiple living areas provide welcome separation when needed, while the detached sleepout with two additional rooms opens the door to endless possibilities. Whether it's teenagers craving independence, extended family, a work-from-home setup, guests, hobbies, or simply a little breathing room, this is a home that evolves with you. Outside, the lifestyle continues. Wander through the thriving vegetable gardens, collect fresh eggs from your own chickens, or soak beneath the stars in the outdoor bath after a long day. It's a setting that encourages a slower pace, a stronger connection to nature, and the simple pleasures that are often lost in modern life. Established grounds provide privacy without the burden of endless upkeep. Ample parking, generous storage, and a negotiable lined container workshop add practicality to the lifestyle, ensuring the home works just as hard as it inspires.
This isn't simply a home with more bedrooms or more square metres. It's a place where toddlers become teenagers. Where birthday parties become family traditions. Where children swap screens for adventures and neighbours become lifelong friends. Most of all, it's a place where some of your family's best years are still waiting to be lived.
With a LIM and Building Report available, you can move forward with confidence. A property of this scale, flexibility, and reserve-side setting is a rare find. The next chapter starts here. Contact Ash or Lachy today.
