Country manor plus a minor too!

A beautiful private country manor plus an easy-care minor dwelling puts this property ahead of the rest. Smart buyers can tick the boxes for a large home and rental property, plus lavish gardens and a fun lifestyle across 2.35 hectares.

Our vendors set out to find two properties; a forever home with land for horses, plus a rental property for income. Imagine their delight to find the wish list answered at one address #36 came with a couple of homes, striking gardens, a gated entranceway, and fruit trees too!

Full of classic architectural detailing, the generous four-bedroom home is very inviting with its vaulted foyer leading to a formal lounge, separate dining room and family room, separate powder room, plus a statement kitchen with timber cabinetry.

Also on the ground level is a double garage with ample roof storage, plus a large master bedroom with a walk-in-robe, ensuite and office. A further two bedrooms and a bathroom are located upstairs.

An additional wing has welcomed Airbnb visitors - complete with its own entry, bedroom, sitting room, bathroom and laundry. Ideal too for elderly parents or the surly teen!

Over at the minor dwelling, the existing tenant enjoys an easy-care two-bedroom, one-bathroom home. A covered deck allows excellent indoor/outdoor flow from an open-plan kitchen, living and dining area. Property management is easy when it's just next door! Yet both buildings are positioned for privacy and have their own water tanks and septic systems.

Heading outdoors, the land is mostly flat or gently sloping with free-draining volcanic soil. A mix of post & rail fencing plus equestrian tape fencing makes it a ready-made set-up for ponies and dry stock - park the float or boat with hard stand parking. A three-bay shed also offers room for tools and toys. All ages will love the tranquil stream - a great spot for a picnic and cool down in fresh water.
