This vintage family home has a restful ambiance which belies the fact that it's only ten minutes from the lively township of Motueka. Set upon 2443sqm of lush grounds this really is a distinctive property. The main homestead was built in the early part of the last century, is well maintained and comprises a huge lounge-diner with a powerful log burner and wetback, and leading off it is a traditional kitchen with timber cabinetry and a stripped pine floor. There are three well proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom and a second sitting room with a laundry nook, which could also be used as an occasional guest bedroom, studio or study. For summertime living there's a delightful verandah where you can relax and enjoy the view of the distant ranges, plus there's a choice of al fresco entertaining areas in the rear garden. The grounds immediately around the house have clipped lawns edged with verdant native and exotics and in addition there's a fertile vegetable garden. The babbling brook at the boundary is an ideal place to teach the littlies about nature, and sometimes you can even spot the occasional eel! Also in the grounds are a large shed and a double carport so if you are a dedicated hobbyist or just love tinkering there's space for all your 'stuff'. At the property's front boundary there's a cute little two bedroom cottage which is neat, tidy and self-contained, with its own garden and dedicated off-street parking space. This additional accommodation provides you with options; tourism, space for extended family and is currently rented for $300 per week. Opportunities abound here.
