283 Kaipaki Road, Ohaupo, Waipa

Character, Space and Plenty of Potential

Viewing by appointment\n\nLocated on highly regarded Kaipaki Road, and rubbing shoulders with the properties of some of New Zealand's top polo families and horse trainers you'll discover this prime 3.1 hectares. The property includes one of the original homes in the area; a villa which proudly claimed its spot here over 100 years ago. With plenty of potential to refresh, add-on and more, doing your homework is a must to realize the full potential of this property. Tucked down a long drive, you are greeted by an array of mature trees and a large multi-use 3-bay, 14m x 6m concrete-floored shed, complete with toilet and separate lined room. For the equestrian, the horticulturalist, the car collector, or machinery owner, you will be in your element here. Take a look beyond the shed to see expansive flat free-draining sandy loam land, currently laid out as seven paddocks. Heading inside the villa you step into the lounge, greeted by the warmth and comfort of the fire, which during winter is stoked more often than not, enhanced by floor and ceiling insulation plus a heat pump. You'll also find a second family zone in the country-style kitchen. Down the wide central hall are four large bedrooms, complete with wardrobes, plus an additional smaller room which would make a great home office, with access to the front porch. With a laundry, large bathroom and separate toilet this home has plenty of space for family living. The character of the villa remains but much of its potential is currently untapped. Look beyond the current furnishings and you will discover the original matai flooring and high ceilings, hidden by a previous owner. With the real value in the land and amenities here, additional features on this property include a water bore, with consent for 15 cubic metres per day plus access to the Pukerimu water supply, a separate single garage and a 21m x 9m greenhouse frame that, when skinned, would be great for horticulture, hay storage or calf rearing. With space to spare both inside and out this property oozes potential for those with horses, small business ideas or simply lifestylers looking for a peaceful slice of country life in a top notch neighborhood.
