18 Orchard Place, Matamata, Matamata-Piako, Waikato

18 Orchard Place presents an exceptional fusion of contemporary design and rural tranquility, set within the highly regarded Highgrove Country Living enclave. Framed by rolling green pastures and nestled in one of Waikato's most desirable lifestyle communities, this property offers a harmonious blend of space, style, and serenity. Originally constructed in the 1980s, the substantial 250sqm (more or less) residence underwent a transformative renovation in 2022. The result is a near-new home where enduring craftsmanship meets modern elegance - featuring concrete block construction with a freshly plastered exterior, delivering both durability and refined appeal. Designed for today's lifestyle, the home boasts four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a sophisticated master suite complete with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. A beautifully appointed kitchen lies at the heart of the home, complemented by a spacious scullery. Upgraded bathrooms, double glazing, and brand-new plumbing, electrical, and roofing systems ensure lasting comfort and peace of mind. Positioned on 5,019sqm (more or less) of thoughtfully landscaped grounds, the property also includes a highly versatile 145sqm (more or less) board-and-batten barn - ply-lined, warmed by a log burner, and equipped with a solid timber workbench - ideal for use as a studio, workshop, or secure storage. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a private swimming pool, louvre-covered deck, concrete washdown area, and professionally designed gardens featuring raised vegetable and herb beds - delivering the ultimate balance of relaxation and functionality. Highgrove is an exclusive, architecturally cohesive 34-lot subdivision on the fringe of Matamata township. Just minutes from early childhood centres and local schools, it is distinguished by signature post-and-rail fencing, crafted stone entranceways, and pre-formed concrete driveways. Residents also benefit from a private water scheme and a landscape vision that includes more than 1,000 transplanted deciduous trees - many over six metres tall - alongside 3,000 hedging and ground cover plants. This is your opportunity to establish yourself in one of the region's most exclusive lifestyle communities - where luxury, liveability, and long-term value converge. Experience the quality and charm of 18 Orchard Place for yourself. It's more than a home - it's a way of life.
