A rare opportunity in the heart of Morrinsville
Some properties offer a home, while others offer an opportunity. 96 Lorne Street is one of those properties. Held by the same family since 1948, this substantial property is being offered to the market for the first time in almost 80 years, presenting a rare chance to secure a generous piece of Morrinsville real estate with plenty of options for the future. Inside, the home offers comfortable and practical living, with an inviting open-plan layout bringing the kitchen, dining and living areas together to create a welcoming space for everyday family life. The kitchen has been recently painted, giving it a fresh and appealing feel, while the updated bathroom and separate toilet add further convenience. Three bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation for the family, with the added benefit of an outside storage room offering valuable extra space for hobbies, equipment, gardening gear or simply keeping things organised. For those who need plenty of garaging, the large four-car garage is a real highlight. Whether you're a keen handyman, car enthusiast, tradesperson or simply need somewhere to store the toys and tools, there is an abundance of room here, along with plenty of additional storage. But it is the land and development potential that could make this property particularly exciting for developers and astute investors. Set on approximately 1,515m2, this substantial landholding presents a rare opportunity to explore the potential for subdivision and development into three titles, subject to Council approval, planning requirements and all necessary consents. For developers, the combination of a sizeable site, established dwelling and convenient town location provides an excellent foundation to investigate a potential multi-title development. For investors, it offers the possibility of unlocking significant additional value from the land over time, while retaining the existing home as part of your investment strategy during the planning and consenting process. Opportunities to secure a section of this size, in such a handy Morrinsville location, with the potential to create multiple titles are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Whether you're an experienced developer looking for your next project or an investor searching for a property with genuine future upside, 96 Lorne Street deserves serious consideration. For families, the property offers something equally appealing – an abundance of land and space to spread out, enjoy the outdoors, accommodate vehicles, pursue hobbies and create your own vision for the future. And then there is the location, Morrinsville's CBD is just a short stroll away. Shops, cafes, schools, services and everyday amenities are all conveniently close, making this a practical location for families and an appealing proposition for developers and investors alike. After almost eight decades with the same ownership, properties with this combination of history, landholding, location and development potential are rarely offered to the market. Whether you're looking for a spacious family home, an investment with future upside, or your next development project, 96 Lorne Street offers an opportunity worth exploring. Don't delay – contact me today for further information or to arrange your viewing.

Some homes are all about the house. This one is just as much about everything around it. With uninterrupted views across the wetlands to Mount Te Aroha, this architecturally designed home offers something a little out of the ordinary. Inspired by modern Japanese architecture, its striking butterfly roofline, clean lines and thoughtful design make it a home that certainly doesn't follow the crowd. Stretching an impressive 26 metres, the home has been cleverly positioned to make the most of its surroundings, with beautiful outlooks, natural light and a wonderful sense of space throughout. At the heart of the home, a designer kitchen complete with scullery takes centre stage in the spacious, high-stud open-plan living and dining area. A separate media room, easily closed off with a cavity slider, gives everyone somewhere to escape when the TV choices don't quite align. Three bedrooms include a master suite with walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and direct outdoor access, while a separate study provides that all-important work-from-home space. The family bathroom, separate toilet and cleverly positioned vanity area make busy mornings that little bit easier. Outside, the setting does much of the entertaining. Relax and take in the views or step straight onto the wetlands walking track. With multiple easy-care outdoor spaces, there's plenty to enjoy without spending your weekends maintaining it all. And it's not just a pretty face. Substantial construction, full insulation, tinted toughened double glazing, two heat pumps and double internal-access garaging ensure comfort and practicality haven't been overlooked. Set on a 928m² section bordering the wetlands, the property enjoys a wonderful sense of openness and privacy, with nature providing an ever-changing backdrop. Architectural flair, an exceptional outlook and a home that's anything but ordinary. Not your everyday home. And that's exactly the point.

Some homes just have that little something special, and this one is all about the location! Backing directly onto Pohlen Park, this lovely three bedroom brick home enjoys a fantastic outlook across the park and towards the beautiful Kaimai Range. Whether it's watching the bowls, taking the kids for a play, walking the dog or simply enjoying the ever changing views, this is a location that's hard to beat. Set on a generous 809m2 section, with a 110m2 home, there's plenty of room to enjoy. Inside, the home has had some welcome updates, giving you a great starting point to move in and make it your own. Offering three bedrooms, a family bathroom with a separate toilet, a single detached garage and off street parking, there's plenty to appreciate here. With a heat pump, HRV system and wood burner, you'll also have plenty of options to keep comfortable throughout the seasons. One of the real highlights is the beautiful French doors that open onto a covered deck, creating the perfect spot to sit back, relax and soak up those wonderful park and mountain views. The location is equally appealing, with Matamata College, intermediate and primary school all within easy walking distance, plus a daycare centre nearby. Surrounded by other great homes and with the park right on your doorstep, it's a setting that will appeal to a wide range of buyers. Whether you're a first home buyer looking to get on the property ladder, an investor seeking a great opportunity, or someone ready to downsize without compromising on location or outlook, this property deserves your attention. Homes backing onto Pohlen Park with views like these don't come along every day. I wouldn't expect this one to sit around for long, so make sure you come and see it for yourself!
