81 Mangawhero Road, Mangamahu, Whanganui

Mangawhero magic

On a grassy rise in a green valley, only half an hour from downtown Whanganui, sits a little piece of paradise. Comprising 3.4ha, more or less, this gorgeous farmlet has top quality grazing divided into six paddocks, numerous outbuildings for animals (or tools and toys), and a renovated character-filled shepherds' cottage set amongst flowering bulbs and shrubs.
The house is immediately inviting, with everything you need and nothing you don't. Lovely native timber accents make it feel warm and homely, and there is new carpet in the bedrooms and living room. The three bedrooms are spacious and light, two with built-in wardrobes. A central freestanding woodburner warms the whole house in winter, and when you need a cool breeze from the valley in summer, simply open the bifold kitchen windows. There is an expansive wraparound deck where you can relax in the sun after a long day in the city and take in the essence of rural New Zealand.
The cottage is insulated in the ceiling and underfloor, and when the present owner had the rear bedroom and the lounge re-gibbed, they also installed batts in the walls. The woodburner is on a wetback to help with water heating in winter, so you can enjoy hot baths and long showers in your modern and well-appointed bathroom.
A double garage with sleepout and a separate outdoor toilet means catering to guests will be a breeze - though it may be hard to get them to leave! A workshop and separate laundry complete the house, and the garden is catered to with utility sheds and storage.
This is a very special property, just waiting for a new family to call it home. Call Duncan or Kim today for your opportunity to view.
