It ticks a lot of boxes. Ideal as a large family home with multi-vehicle internal garaging for all the toys but also suitable for extended family's looking for the potential to create a second dwelling within, or someone wanting a work from home set up. (obviously subject to due diligence & appropriate approvals from council).

Just 7 minutes drive to the base, easy access to Hamilton and commuting to Auckland. North facing and overlooking a Farm Park, guarantees privacy, sun and views. Downstairs you'll find 4 bedrooms, master with ensuite, a formal lounge, an open plan kitchen/dining room, all leading out through large bi-folding doors to the patio and outdoor entertaining areas. There's also a huge home theatre room set up with speakers and a large screen, plus there's another zoned speaker system downstairs with outdoor speakers as well. Upstairs you'll find 115 sqm of floor space partitioned into an open plan 2nd lounge/rumpus room, a huge office and a fully equipped commercial type kitchen plus a 3rd toilet and hand washing facilities. Subject to the right approvals, this area would make an excellent self contained flat or perhaps a huge home based office or catering business.

Until recently, the current owners used part of the garaging and the upstairs for their licensed "craft beer" warehouse/depot and have also used the upstairs facility to manufacture and prepare food for out-catering. This home is in a great location, is very versatile and very handy to town. If you want a modern, spacious home with options, then make sure this is on your viewing list.

Fireworks are a ton of fun but carry real risks that need to be taken seriously. If you plan on lighting some here's some tips to keep everyone in your community safe and happy.

❌ 1. Never light fireworks in dry or windy conditions.

🔥 2. Only use fireworks in wide open areas, away from flammable items such as trees, grasses, gas tanks, and wood.

💦 3. Keep a bucket of water or hose nearby.

👧 4. Children should never light fireworks themselves and need to be supervised closely at all times.

🧰 5. Keep all unlit fireworks in a secure bag or container away from any source of fire until they are ready to be used.

📞 6. Be considerate and let neighbours know if you're planning to set off fireworks. Aim to finish at a reasonable time.

🐱 7. Keep pets comfortable and secure inside. The loud booms and flashing lights can easily scare them off.

🐮 8. Avoid lighting off fireworks around farm animals and be aware of any newborns or elderly neighbours who may also be affected. If possible, change locations to somewhere that minimises any disturbances.

🌿 9. Be a tidy Kiwi and let's work together to keep New Zealand beautiful! Clean up any any rubbish and leave your spot better than you found it.

The intersection between State Highways 1 and 29 is 8km away from the school and sees more than 20,000 vehicles traverse the road every day at open road speeds. What do you think needs to be done to improve this section of the SH1?

Andrew Caseley from Gen Less

Kahutara Primary School in Featherston is switching to LEDs. All LEDs are Gen Less bulbs as they use less energy, which ultimately helps halt climate change. If we all got on board and switched now it would make a huge difference
