23 Stoddarts Road, Bideford, Masterton

Autumn Road Lifestyle

Nestled within 9.4 hectares of serene countryside, 23 Stoddarts Road boasts the charm of a beautifully renovated 1920s home with modern comforts. Located just 15 minutes northeast of Masterton.

The home features four inviting bedrooms, including three with private access to the surrounding deck, allowing residents to immerse themselves in the rural country views. Inside, an open-plan kitchen and dining area provide the perfect space for gatherings, complemented by a separate lounge for relaxation. With two separate toilets and one bathroom, convenience is paramount.

Warmth emanates throughout the home, courtesy of two wood burners - one equipped with a convenient wetback - and wall heaters, ensuring comfort during cooler seasons. A standout feature of the property is the vast covered shed, originally designed as a horse arena and stables but adaptable for various purposes. Adjacent cattle yards facilitate easy management of livestock.

The property is thoughtfully fenced with a mix of standard 8-wire and deer fencing, encompassing mostly flat paddocks while descending into bushland leading to the picturesque Tauweru River. For those with a green thumb or who want to be self-sufficient, a micro abattoir, vegetable garden, chicken coop, greenhouse, and orchard offer opportunities for self-sustaining living and a connection to the land.

Combining rustic charm with modern amenities and expansive outdoor spaces, 23 Stoddarts Road presents a self-sufficient lifestyle retreat in the heart of the countryside.
