Te Miro

38,624 KG

91%

Set in the rolling hills of Te Miro, Waikato, this home is in fact two homes in one. A separate but joined apartment provides all of the comforts for one generation including two bedrooms, an extensive library, and a study. Then on the other side of the door is another home that has everything a growing family needs. including three bedrooms downstairs, an open plan dining, living and kitchen, and then a master bedroom upstairs with a separate lounge and craft room. This house is a certified Passive House Classic.

"
For me personally, it’s made a tremendous difference, I used to get chest infections every winter in Auckland and I’d be on antibiotics and a couple of times I ended up in hospital. Haven’t had any problems like that down here, the house is always warm and dry. The environment you’ve got inside is worth every penny of it!
