Vintage past meets vibrant present

Quality whichever way you look, it's easy to see how this gorgeous property has graced the pages of numerous magazines and secured 'runner-up' placing in the prestigious Master Builder's Award for 'Best Renovation' in 2010.
An entertainer's paradise with a designer kitchen connecting with multiple living areas smoothly transitioning to sheltered verandas and patios, for shady or sunny outdoor living. Guests can keep cool in the pool or meander through park like gardens.
Matai floor boards (some sourced from the old Taumaranui Hospital) have been seamlessly paired by master craftsman with the original native flooring, while high-ceilings and sash windows are complemented by classic Laura Ashley wallpapers and bespoke window treatments.
Two of the five double bedrooms are ensuited with a stylish, country-style bathroom featuring a claw-foot tub taking care of the family with space and comfort to spare.
The original shearers' quarters have been remodelled into fully self-contained accommodation featuring bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and lounge plus adjoining bunkroom - ideal for in-laws or B&B guests.
Comprising approximately 9 acres, the property features a blend of lawns, gardens, raised beds and a chook shed, stock yards and enough grazing area for a small flock of sheep or the kids ponies. For those seeking a more rural based lifestyle, the property comes with an option to purchase an adjoining 18 acre block.
