Properties of this caliber and location are rarely available. This beautiful country home was rebuilt extensively in the early 1990s, perfectly balancing contemporary lifestyle needs with the age and history of the original dwelling. Textural highlights are found throughout, from rimu doors to the striking two-sided brick feature fireplace, which clearly defines the living from the dining. The heart of the fully insulated home is a large sunny space that ensures the home chef has everything they need at their fingers tips including a pantry.
While the home has three double bedrooms (master with WIR), one is currently being utilised as a games room, illustrating the versatility that is on offer. Be it for those seeking a property in which to downsize too, or a family abode, the opportunities are endless. Substantial in size, the bathroom pays homage to the character and history of the home with the inclusion of a clawfoot bath and striking wooden vanity. A second shower and toilet, found in the laundry, ensure the amenities for both guests and day-to-day living are well catered for.
Also ticking all the boxes when it comes to guests is the inclusion of a self-contained cottage. Currently tenanted the cottage provides additional accommodation, or income. Five car garaging coupled with extensive off street parking ensure there is ample of space for all the vehicles.
Spread across 3.34 ha the immaculate property is divided into eight paddocks and suited to the running of stock. Currently each paddock is leased to horse owners. With a tack room, open-bay shed and workshop, as well as the extensive garaging, exterior storage is well considered, and like the home offers versatility and endless opportunity. Connecting the home with its rural surrounds is the established garden including fruit trees. Complete with conservatory and covered verandah the beautiful surrounds are able to be enjoyed year round, no matter what the weather.
