House in Utuhina

A LANDMARK CHARACTER RESIDENCE - SO VERY SPECIAL

  • 4 Beds
  • 3 Baths

Hidden from the world this historic home is a rare slice of heaven right in the very heart of Rotorua. Just 5 years into the 20th Century, a kauri and rimu farm homestead was built on the banks of the Utuhina stream. In the history of the house, 1940 is an important date as La Trobe, an eminent Rotorua architect came to live here and consequently designed and carried out various alterations and additions. More recent, meticulous renovations, complimented by designer style have created a unique and highly functional masterpiece where historic Rotorua meets Ponsonby cool. Ensconced into its private leafy environment and bordering the Utuhina stream reserve this property features an outdoor fireplace for year round entertaining.
