39 Ridge Park Drive

Peter Hulsdouw from

This sun-drenched 445 sqm lifestyle homestead is on a 2525 sqm site. 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.

Poll: Would you help your kids out with buying a home?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

OPINION: Over the past year, I’ve had the same conversation with many Waikato families again and again.

A child has found a house. The market feels like it’s moving. There’s pressure to act quickly. And before anyone has really had time to think it through, parents are being asked to step in with cash, guarantees, or equity from their own home.

Would you help your kids out with buying a home? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
