Mesmerized by the mountain, countryside caress

Wow factors of this property are numerous.
The views of the mighty Taranaki Maunga, and Puakai ranges are mesmerizing. Sloping green grazing land with valleys of bush are totally uninterrupted, as the view extends to the mountain and ranges. There is no light pollution here. On a moonlit night, with the stars ablaze, another aspect of the mountain almost overwhelms.
The lovingly renovated four-bedroom villa has many many features. Fully double-glazed, there are 10 doors opening to the outside deck. The main bathroom has a claw foot cast iron bath and an ensuite on the master bedroom. Two bedrooms need a few finishing touches. Rimu floors, skirting and architraves, and granite bench tops are luxurious.
The 5.1142 hectares (more or less) contain native bush, a crystal-clear mountain stream and paddocks for horses or stock. Handy is the Blue Rata reserve with its bush walks and access to the pristine upper reaches of the Stoney River. Taking a dip in the river on a summer's day is something else. Add to this a shed that incorporates the ultimate country bar, the dream is complete. Vendor looking at other life options.
"I approached feeling stressed
The mountain reached out
I felt blessed
The moreporks called in the night
In the morning all was bright
Of all the places to be
Never have I felt closer to my true me"
