Well Established 2.5 Hectares

Lifestylers will love this White Pine Bush property, fully-equipped with modern home, stock yards and a horse dressage arena.\nAt 2.55 hectares fenced into seven paddocks it's a manageable size and borders a stunning scenic bush reserve, just 10 minutes' drive from Whakatane.\nAs a lifestyle block this property is the complete package including a beautifully renovated three bedroom home, double garage with workshop and sleep-out, a haybarn, chook pen and stock yards with loading ramp.\nIt also has an olympic-size dressage arena that will be a drawcard for anyone involved with pony club.\nThe house is set well back from the road, at the end of a meandering driveway that borders a stream on the edge of the White Pine Bush Scenic Reserve.\nIt's quiet, peaceful and the grounds immediately surrounding the house are home to a selection of mature trees and easy-care gardens. The paddocks are well fenced and there's also a fenced off vegetable garden to ensure critters are kept well away from the home produce.\n'As new' would be the best way to describe the sun-filled homestead which follows modern trends as far as its neutral decor and focus on outdoor living. Depending on the time of day, you can choose to entertain on the cobbled front patio beneath the wisteria-clad pergola or out the front of the home on the expansive deck.\nInside, the centre piece is the open plan kitchen-dining room where off-white walls and timber-look flooring offset the stunning metallic olive kitchen with island bench and six-burner gas cooker. A woodburner keeps the house cosy in winter while the HRV system makes for a dry, healthy home all-year round.\nOff the kitchen is a separate sunny lounge and off the dining room is the master bedroom with fully-tiled en-suite and walk-in wardrobe.\nThe hallway provides access to the laundry, main bathroom and two more double bedrooms. A fourth bedroom within the garage provides extra room for teenagers or guests.\nThe property is on Braemar water and is within the Awakeri School enrolment zone. Closer inspection is welcome at the open home or view by appointment.
