About this property
Pirongia Escape - experience the retreat like setting
Spacious 4 bedroom house on lifestyle block. Epic uninterrupted views of Mount Pirongia and Hamilton. Sit by the infinity pool and watch the Kereru and Tui fly by.
Only 25 minutes from the fieldays and 5 minutes from Pirongia Village (markets, golf, cafe, gift shop and more). Next door to Sainsbury Rd Forestry and Reserve - great for walking, mountain biking and horse riding.
The huge open living space is great for families and groups. Concrete floors and bench tops offset by timber ceilings. Bathrooms feature concrete showers and bath with wood slats and double copper rain shower heads. Indoor wood fire and ducted heat pump to each room. Covered outdoor area is great in the winter with blinds and outdoor fire with cooking grill . Gas BBQ and woodfired pizza oven (the 4square often has handmade ready to cook pizzas). Huge infinity pool with large shallow area for the kids. Sunken fire pit area and gas/woodfired hot tub. Coffee machine are available. Set up is kid friendly (high chair, portacot available). Free wifi. Smart TV with Netflix and Sky in living room. TV with chromecast in master bedroom. Bedroom 2 can either be 2 single beds or a super king (please let us know if you would like the super king option). Plenty of parking
The pool is not heated. It is available for swimming from October - May.
This is a rural family home - the advantages of this are that it is fully stocked with condiments and utensils for baking and cooking. There are games and toys. You can collect your own eggs and pat the horses. The disadvantages are that it is a couple of kms up a winding road. Its not a manicured hotel and there are more bugs and flies than in the city.
Horses and dogs ok by prior arrangement.
