Good as Gold - So many choices!

This wonderful property is an absolute one-off, but with so many options. The context is firmly set in history. This large character building was originally commissioned as the National Bank Gold Refinery in 1914. As such, the massive solid concrete walls, double height stud capped with huge timber beams and rimu roof structure certainly fitted the grandeur of purpose.

Within the structure (approx 490m2) is the main open space (currently used to house an Artist's Gallery and tea rooms) with an adjoining factory area.

Accommodation is generous and reflects the style of the building. To the side (yet within the main building) is the former manager's living quarters. This has been tastefully renovated and remodelled to become a comfortable two or three bedroom home, reminiscent of the Arts and Craft style.

To the rear of the building is a one bedroom flat, used to house security staff.

The building has been well maintained and is truly iconic and inspirational. It will not disappoint on viewing and is set to satisfy both the hopeless romantic and the practical realist.

The surrounding gardens reflect the easy living lifestyle. Fruit trees are in abundance, along with feature plantings and flower gardens. The setting is totally private behind hedges creating a unique micro-climate.

Across the road is the Paeroa domain, with the trees framing stunning views to the Coromandel Ranges beyond.

This property has featured in NZ House and Garden www.nzhouseandgarden.co.nz/Articles/TheMidasTouch-Paeroa.asp

Paeroa Township is a renowned Antique Trading Town, and is a service centre for the thriving surrounding district of Coromandel and the Hauraki Plains. The cycleway is set to bring yet more through traffic to the area and has already proved popular.
