38C Koromiko Street, Te Aroha, Matamata Piako

Move in, unpack, and enjoy this tidy three-bedroom home that offers comfortable living, practical spaces, and a few nice extras along the way. Conveniently located close to schools and local amenities, it's an easy home to settle into. The updated kitchen connects nicely with the dining area, while double-glazed bifolds open from the living space out to the deck, handy for summer BBQs, or at the very least, somewhere to stand while pretending to supervise them. A heat pump, HRV system, and full insulation help keep things comfortable year-round. The home offers three bedrooms, including a master complete with ensuite and walk-through wardrobe. The additional bedrooms are ideal for kids, guests, working from home, or that one family member who "isn't staying long". A family bathroom with both bath and shower adds practicality, while the European-style laundry is neatly tucked away in a cupboard - out of sight, out of mind. Outside, the fully fenced rear section provides a safe spot for children and pets to play, while the garage with automatic door opener and workshop space gives you extra room for storage, tools, or hobbies. A well-presented home with a practical layout and plenty of potential to make it your own - Clarke could be the perfect place to get started.

Originally built as part of the support network for the Mount Te Aroha television transmission system, this remarkable property has quite literally helped keep the region connected. For the last decade, it has served as a much-loved dwelling, and now it's ready for its next chapter. Set on a generous 1,012m2 section, the substantial 350m2 dwelling is anything but ordinary. The floorplan reflects its unique origins, with four rooms currently used as bedrooms, two rooms functioning as bathrooms, a generous living area, and an enormous central room that was once the building's control centre. Add in the various nooks, crannies and unexpected spaces, and you've got a property that's impossible to compare with anything else on the market. Let's be honest - this is not a weekend makeover. Significant work will be required, but for the right buyer there's genuine opportunity here. Whether you uncover some exceptional bones, embrace the quirky layout or completely reimagine the space, this is a chance to create something truly one of a kind. If ordinary isn't your style, this could be your next great project. To be sold by auction on an "as is, where is" basis.
