5 Smith Road, Kerikeri, Far North

Cottage set in the country

Set in the Pakaraka area on a farming road with stone walls and oak trees is this delightful cottage for sale by way of Auction. The two bedroom home with garage and sleepout is set on established grounds with mature trees offering privacy and seclusion.

The high sarked ceilings offer a spacious feel in the lounge and kitchen area. A woodburner with wetback keeps things toasty during winter. Off the lounge are two bedrooms plus a bathroom and separate laundry.

The extra facilities are a feature of the property and they include a new double garage next to the house and a studio with a further garage. The studio could sleep a teenager or be used as for art or home office. The extra garage in the studio could be used for a car project.

The property is 3,870 square metres and there are a number of fenced paddocks which currently have sheep grazing on them. The gardens have been delightfully maintained with fully grown walnut trees as well as various citrus.

Smith Road is just south of Pakaraka in the Hupara area beside the Alpaca Farm. The location is handy to a number of locations. Kerikeri is 15 minute drive away, Paihia 20 minutes and Whangarei is 53 minutes away.

The home would appeal to a variety of groups, the price would make it ideal for first starters or second start buyers. Alternatively, retirees might appreciate the neat and tidy but leafy grounds. The location beside the road could be advantageous to trade people wanting to put a sign beside State Highway One.

The owners have purchased and are not auctioning for the fun of it. They are committed to sell with realistic expectations. Inspections welcome at this cosy cottage at any time or come to one of the Sunday open homes.
