20 Wheatley Road, Waiohiki, Hastings

Character lifestyle, commanding views

Prepare to be charmed, when you discover what lies at the top of the driveway. Set on 1.4 hectares of land is a delightful character villa, sited amongst beautiful cottage-style gardens in a spot that affords both privacy and views.

The villa combines characteristics of the early 1900's such as timber floors, sash windows, leadlighting and high ceilings, with all the modern comforts you would expect after being restored, including a ducted central heating system. There are two spacious living areas, both with radiant wood fires, a country kitchen, five bedrooms, the master with ensuite and walk-in-robe, and an impressive library/office. The views from the eastern wing stretch across the ever-changing colours of the plains to Te Mata Peak, Mt Erin and Kahuranaki, and the wrap-around verandah offers relaxed outdoor living overlooking the gardens.

You'll be well on your way to self-sufficiency here, with a varied home orchard and irrigated raised vegetable beds, and there are two hillside grazing paddocks along with a chicken coop too. This private, sought-after lifestyle property is located a mere six kilometres from the centre of Taradale, providing convenience for schooling, shopping and dining. Don't delay your chance to inspect - tenders close on 8th December, unless sold prior! Contact Kris or Caleb for further details.
