852 Penny Road, Awahuri, Manawatu, Manawatu / Whanganui

A substantial 4 hectare lifestyle property offering space, character and versatility in an exceptionally convenient location.

This massive family home is set in attractive grounds with an array of farm buildings and an excellent water supply. The expansive 358m2 multi period two-storey home has a true homestead feel, and can comfortably accommodate a growing or extended family, featuring five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The character homestead features of the property have been retained and along with modern additions this has created a real family home you'll love the classic timber window frames and period ceilings that add warmth and history, while the home's scale and layout provide plenty of flexibility for modern family living.

The open plan kitchen dining and living room is positioned to enjoy the outlook and designed as a practical hub for everyday life. Living areas flow easily to the outdoors, where a generous deck creates the perfect spot to relax or entertain. The spa pool is privately located on the back deck, creating a peaceful and secluded retreat.

The grounds are a real highlight - beautifully established with specimen plantings, shelter trees, an orchard and productive vegetable gardens, making the most of the property's setting and providing year-round enjoyment.

For those seeking utility and functionality, the property delivers in spades. There is an excellent range of farm buildings, along with yards and load-out facilities, ideal for lifestyle farming or hobby stock. The home has internal access garaging with extra space and additional outbuildings provide ample storage/workshop space and practicality rarely found so close to town.

An absolute bonus feature is the water supply from a bore on the property. Despite the excellent access the SH3, road noise is minimal, offering a peaceful rural atmosphere.

The location is extremely hard to beat, with Feilding just 10 minutes away, Palmerston North city centre an easy 16-minute drive, and Ohakea Air Base only 8 minutes from the gate - making daily commuting, schooling and amenities exceptionally convenient while still enjoying a peaceful rural setting.

This is a property that would ideally suit a family seeking space, character, strong infrastructure and an easy commute - all wrapped up in a setting that feels like home.
