This exquisite small holding of 8,093sqm features a fully restored and modernised two-storied cottage with magnificent views to the harbour and Lyttelton and provides an enviable retreat from the busy world. This is the ideal property for that secluded weekend getaway or private lifestyle just an easy 20-minute commute to the city.
The cottage has been sympathetically extended and restored in the 1980s and features natural timbers throughout, a country kitchen and a comfortable living and dining space opening to a sunny veranda with views to the harbour and Lyttelton beyond. The three double bedrooms are serviced by a modern bathroom. Heating is provided by a log burner with wetback with numerous mature trees on the property providing plenty of wood for the winter months. A substantial architecturally designed two storied timber barn with mezzanine floor provides options for additional accommodation, hobbies or storage.
The gently sloping land features native bush, mature exotic trees, orchard and abundant birdlife. The unique micro climate supports the thriving citrus, feijoas, fruit trees and productive vegetable garden. A tunnel house, garden and produce sheds complete the property.
Situated in the picturesque rural district of Allandale just a short drive from Governors Bay and an easy commute to the city. Unique and special properties such as this are seldom available.
