Nestled near the picturesque village of Upokongaro, just a short drive from Whanganui, this charming 2.8 hectare (more or less) lifestyle property offers a wonderful blend of country character, modern comforts, and practical infrastructure. At the heart of the property sits a warm and inviting 168sqm (more or less) cottage, featuring three spacious bedrooms, a sun-drenched sunroom, and a separate office — ideal for remote work or creative pursuits. The home is kept cosy year-round with two heat pumps, a Lady Kitchener log burner, and a hot water cylinder with wetback for added efficiency.

The updated kitchen is well-equipped with a 2021-installed wall oven and induction hobs, great for home cooks and entertainers alike. Outdoors, the property is set up for rural living with a good array of shedding, including a 9x6m (approximate) red barn, garage, carport, woolshed, workshop, utility room, and more — providing numerous opportunities for hobbies, storage, or small-scale farming.

Accessed via a Class 1-rated bridge, the land is both private and accessible, with the added benefit of riparian access for those who enjoy water access or simply the natural serenity of a stream boundary. Fruit lovers will delight in the established feijoa orchard boasting 75 to 80 productive trees, including tangelo, mandarins, avocados, apples, and even a crab-apple tree.

Whether you're seeking a peaceful country escape, a productive lifestyle block, or a place with space for all your projects, this special property near Upokongaro is one not to be missed.
