3520 State Highway 4, Raurimu, Ruapehu, Waikato

The vendor's child's interests have taken the family north, and this property must be sold. 3520 State Highway 4, Raurimu - your very own private native forest where tranquillity and birdsong fill the air, and your backyard doubles as an adventure playground. Nestled in the heart of the Ruapehu region, this exceptional 19.7 ha property blends natural beauty with outdoor adventure. Wander through towering tawa and totara, or make use of five paddocks of grazable land (one deer-fenced with lush bush), all with access to water holes for sustainable farming or livestock. Two levelled building sites offer exciting potential - from off-grid glamping to further development. The main home, built in 2012, sits proudly at the highest point, capturing breathtaking panoramic views and complete privacy. Double-glazed and off-grid, it's surrounded by landscaped gardens with aggregate paths and steps, multiple barbecue areas, and a spa pool heated by a Marshall hot water system. Whether you're seeking peace and seclusion, a base for Ruapehu's many outdoor pursuits, or a property with income potential, this is a rare find. Viewing is essential to truly appreciate everything on offer.
