Raise your family in the country
The affordable dream of raising your family in the country, amid a caring community, is available here in lovely Tunakino Valley with a comfortable home and paddocks. Five minutes by a good, sealed road to Rai Valley school and close to Marlborough Sounds boating is this rare seven acres (2.8ha) offering; easily manageable but large enough so you can plan for largely self-sufficient living.
With room to graze stock for the home larder, oodles of space for fruit and vegetables and flat land in a sunlit valley, here's that opportunity to build family memories with country values. Summer swimming in river holes, pony riding and winter footie playing for the mighty Pelorus Blues is all part of a return to a traditional New Zealand upbringing that's well within the reach of many.
The 130sqm home offers three spacious double bedrooms, a prized Raeburn range which turns out the best roasts and a modernised kitchen with near-new cook-top and electric oven and dish washer plus soft-close drawers and a large, adjoining pantry.
The Raeburn wetback heats the water, meaning virtually no winter water power bills and the log fire in the lounge makes for cosy nights while ducting warm air to all bedrooms. Run horses, keep pigs, enjoy fresh-laid eggs from your free-run chooks and watch the children run and play in the paddocks, or launch the boat 20 minutes away at Okiwi Bay for fishing or cruising. Bring home cod for tea, or some butterfish you've speared off the boat. In season, there are plums, apricots and peaches, masses of vegetables from the garden and a killing shed for your meat and a big chiller for supplies. in this area, close to the Rai Valley township, there are growing numbers of like-minded young families to become friends with and share good times watching the children grow.There's double garaging plus workshop space, attached woodshed and another single garage and carport.
