4.33 hectares (10.69 acres)
Beautifully sited in a tropical-like environment, this tranquil home set on 4.33 hectares with dual access has been designed perfectly for its surroundings. Originally built with a view to constructing a future dream home this property offers endless possibilities. The open-plan kitchen and dining area combines an industrial feel with rustic charm. The winter months have been thoughtfully planned with the inclusion of a log burner. Opening out to a timber deck covered by the upper balcony, outdoor dining is easy during the summer months. The loft-style second storey has whitewashed rimu flooring and a rimu ceiling. The lounge is light and airy, with a skylight capturing additional sun and opens out to a balcony to overlook the stunning grounds beyond. One of the home's two double bedrooms is located upstairs beside the lounge. The second is downstairs with direct access to the garden (currently utilised as an office). Outdoors features established plantings of pin oak, copper beech, elms, orange and grapefruit trees, many rhododendrons, azaleas, magnolias and NZ natives. Palm trees give this magical property a tropical touch - this really is an impressive property. A significant feature is a tree-lined, meandering stream-like water race which runs through a park-like setting - a potential site for a dream home. A large four-bay shed comes complete with workbench and storage loft. There is a sleep-out in its own private setting with a quirky mezzanine sleeping area. This is a space that offers many options. Further afield are a set of stock yards for sheep and separate yards for cattle - both having loading ramps to assist with farming practices. The property is extremely well sheltered and features three paddocks - one being an established eucalyptus plantation for firewood. This is a very special property that absolutely must be explored to be appreciated! Viewing is by appointment.
