12 Garrison Street Arapuni, South Waikato District

There is something pretty special about a home with a story, and this charming former Arapuni Post Office has a good one to tell. The weatherboard home has evolved over the years while still holding onto the warmth and personality that makes older homes so appealing. With two bedrooms, multiple living spaces and beautiful rural and mountain views, there is more room here than first meets the eye, all wrapped up in the relaxed pace and community feel of village living.

The open plan kitchen with walk-in pantry and dining area connects easily to the covered back deck, while the separate living room is a cosy retreat with both a wood burner and heat pump. A second living space is currently used as an office and flows through to the sunroom, arguably one of the best spots in the house for a quiet morning coffee while taking in the mountain outlook. A modern bathroom, separate laundry and practical layout complete the home.

Set on 1012sqm (more or less) fully fenced and gated section, there is flat lawn at both the front and rear of the home for children or pets to enjoy, while the rear portion slopes away into established planting. Native birdlife visiting from nearby Maungatautari adds to the peaceful setting. Arapuni itself is known for its friendly community feel, with direct access to the Waikato River Trails, Rhubarb Cafe just a short walk away and Lake Arapuni only a short drive for boating, swimming and days spent on the water. For those looking for character, views and a slower pace of life, this little piece of Arapuni history is well worth discovering.
