Description
This is not only a stunning piece of history, but what a place to live! In the heart of Maraekakaho perched just above the historic woolshed is the Gardeners Cottage from Maraekakaho Station. A lovely two bedroom cottage plus two bedrooms detached from the main home, this is a magical piece of history that you can call home.
The home is elevated and positioned for the views of the Ngararoro River valley and the ranges with timber decks on two sides of the home the view is ever changing and it's sheltered position means not much will interfere with your enjoyment. The lounge and main bedroom face the Northern views and the front deck is the perfect place for entertaining or placing a spa pool. The home is heated with a woodburner and french doors off the side deck help provide airflow through the warmer seasons. The semi-detached sleepout is great for guests or extended family and features two bedrooms and a bathroom with laundry facilities. Connected with a covered veranda means movement between the two is seamless.
The owners have added a generous five bay shed with a concrete floor, one open bay and one bay used as a work room. This shed is substantial and has 3-phase run to it. The land while sloping features a nice flat paddock at the bottom where grazing or additional shedding is perfect and nearer to the home is an established dog run that can be converted to additional grazing. This is a great opportunity to tick your lifestyle boxes and own a piece of history!
