Peace & plenty, must sell
Property sold at auction on 27 November 2020.
Securing this incredible rural-fringe lifestyle mere minutes from Kerikeri was a dream come true for our sellers. Their forever paradise found! Alas, it was not to be. A job transfer and drastic change in circumstances now dictate an urgent sale on or before auction day.
What will they miss? The list is long, and the big-tick items are obvious. Every ingredient for an abundant lifestyle is right here, with house and potential income an obvious windfall. Because if one property is never enough, included in the sale is a delightful two-bedroom cottage to rent out, AirBnB or host an overflow of guests. This is a legacy property that dishes out privacy, convenience, income and fun.
It's hard to describe the indulgent feeling of being so close to town, yet surrounded by fresh air and countryside. From the massive shed with workshop and filleting station, to the vege gardens and fruit trees, to the numerous outdoor zones for entertaining - this is an address that thrives at whatever life throws at it.
At approximately 234sqm, the main dwelling is functional and comfortable. This lovely 90s home would respond well to a freshen-up, and with the existing construction robust, along with a big footprint - you have the right formula to support an easy make-over with opportunity to profit. Three large bedrooms, light-filled living areas and a study make this home a pleasure to live, work and play within.
Entertaining is a treat here, with sheltered decks spilling out to sprawling lawns to watch the kids play. Further evidence of a 10/10 house includes excellent storage, a wood-burner, built-in speakers, plus an oversized double garage. Again, that epic shed with boat parking is such a plus!
Adding value to an already cool address is the cottage positioned well-away from the main home. Palliside cladding gives it a thumbs up for low-maintenance, while privacy, a tiled bathroom, modern decor and a deck, make it irresistible for tenants.
