278 Stokes Road Maungatautari

This 15.79 Hectare (approx. 40-acre) remarkable estate captures the essence of peace and privacy. Every sunrise reflects off rolling paddocks, and every sunset settles over the distant hills, a daily reminder of the natural harmony that defines this special place.

The land is thoughtfully divided into multiple paddocks, all serviced by bore-fed water troughs, ensuring complete self-sufficiency with the addition of a cattle yard and sheep shed, making it ideal for equestrian enthusiasts, boutique horticulture, or continued farming pursuits.

At the boundary, a gentle creek winds its way through the landscape, framed by a forest-like bush area alive with native birdsong: a tranquil setting that enhances the property’s natural beauty and provides the perfect escape at the end of the day.

The north-facing homestead has been designed to embrace both sunlight and scenery, with open-plan living spaces, a gourmet kitchen, an office and four generous bedrooms: three of which open directly to the gardens. The master suite feels like a private retreat, offering sweeping rural views and a calm sense of sanctuary.

Whether your dream is to host lakeside gatherings, enjoy kayaking or water skiing at the nearby Piarere Water Ski Club, or simply relax in your own private rural haven, this property offers a lifestyle defined by peace, beauty, and space.

Located just 15 minutes from Cambridge and Tirau, 30 minutes from Hamilton, Te Awamutu or Matamata, and with easy access to SH1 for Auckland commutes, this estate truly combines exclusivity with connectivity.

A peaceful retreat that feels a world away, yet sits within easy reach of town conveniences, is not just rare: it’s timeless.

This sanctuary of nature and lifestyle is waiting for its next custodian to write the next chapter of its lakeside story.
