Lakeside Farm Cambridge
With a host of options for land use, this property will reward its new owners with an enviable lifestyle. Set on the banks of Lake Karapiro, this 49.74 hectare (122.9 acres more or less) property is a stunning slice of paradise. The panoramic views of the lake with its native bush clad banks and surrounding farm land beyond amplify its aesthetics.
A former dairy farm, currently grazing dry stock, and certified organic. The property's quality contour, along with its elite free draining soils provide ample farming options, from high performance dairy support, horticulture, equine, or it could be ideal for a boutique beef stud.
Infrastructure includes implement sheds and a disused cow shed utilized for stock handling, while two dwellings further complement the property. The main residence comes in the form of a family sized two story brick and cedar home with in-ground pool. The second home is a modern two bedroom brick cottage. A bonus is the substantial orchard featuring a variety of fruiting trees.
Tucked off the road in a private location, this beautiful property basks in tranquil seclusion just 20km from Cambridge. Cross the Horahora bridge to access nearby State Highway one providing an easy commute to Hamilton, Tirau and Matamata.
This property is simply bursting with lifestyle appeal and is just minutes to Horahora Domain, boat ramp, Pairere Water Ski Club and the world-class Takapoto Estate (equestrian event centre). The property is further enhanced by its close proximity to Maungatautari bush reserve and the Waikato river cycle trails.
Listen to the oars of the high performance rowers training on the lake, or watch the water skiers and other lake users enjoying this stunning resource.
All this on your back doorstep, a truly special place to live, a stunning opportunity to invest in land and lifestyle, so when the farming is done, let the play begin.

“Due to the professionalism of Bayleys and in particular Alistair we are extremely happy to be the lucky owners of our beautiful property overlooking Lake Karapiro. Excellent communication was needed as distance was a factor and available time a luxury for us. The experience was evident and processes implemented kept the business moving forward in an uncomplicated manner. Once the process was finalised the continued support was very much appreciated, having Alistair’s local knowledge prior to takeover meant we had support in place when we arrived in the area. Thankyou again for your efficiency and ease in doing business, it was extremely appreciated”.
