A Storied Beginning
Steeped in history and beautifully re-imagined for modern life, The Old Coach House stands as one of Ramarama’s most admired heritage homes. Originally a rest stop for travellers journeying between the Great South Road and Thames in the early 1900’s, this timeless villa continues to offer comfort, hospitality, and enduring charm more than a century later.
A Grand Country Approach
Set near the end of a quiet country lane, beyond electric gates and a newly concreted driveway, the home sits proudly on approx. 2.87 ha of landscaped grounds that reflect a perfect balance between past and present.
High 3.6 m ceilings, intricate fretwork, and polished Rimu floors honour the home’s origins, while recent upgrades — 8 zone (individually controlled) full air-conditioning, full insulation, modern wiring, and 3-phase power — ensure year-round comfort and efficiency.
Refined Family Living
Inside, four beautifully proportioned bedrooms include two with their own ensuite bathrooms. The master suite features a walk-in wardrobe and double-vanity ensuite, while the second suite also includes its own walk-in wardrobe, ensuite, and wall heater. Two further bedrooms offer excellent storage and natural light.
Elegant Places to Gather
The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen, dining, and family area — a warm, social space with a quality appliances, induction cooktop, wine fridge, and English farmhouse sink. Dining area windows slide wide open to generous wrap-around decks, creating seamless flow for entertaining. Two fireplaces anchor the living spaces with authentic country comfort — a wood burner in the lounge and an open fire in the family nook, an auxiliary room adjacent to the kitchen for those quiet winter evenings.
A Rural Retreat so Close to Amenities
Outdoors, the setting is both picturesque and practical: Approx .8ha of beautiful established protected native bush filled with birdlife including Kereru, Tui, Robins and many more, a fully fenced, modern tennis court, swimming pool, tiered gardens, three-car garage with EV charger, tool shed, and abundant (approx 2ha) gently sloping grazing in 8 fenced paddocks. With 3-phase power, re-done piles, and a recently concreted driveway, the property blends character with reliability — a rare find in today’s market.
The Old Coach House offers the best of rural lifestyle living - history, elegance, and everyday ease — all just a couple of minutes from Ramarama motorway access, the planned Drury shopping development and train station, and within zone for Ramarama School and Rosehill College.
