A three car garage with separate games-room /studio / mezzanine and toilet complete the picture.

Very central to Wanganui and Palmerston North airports and a local pub, garage and general store for your convenience in nearby Fordell village. On a fine day there are views to Mt Taranaki. Tongariro National Park and Turoa skifields are approximately an hour and a half drive away.
