The Laurenson 1902.

Set among established trees in a peaceful rural pocket not far from Palmerston North and Feilding, this timeless villa offers more than just charm - it's been cleverly brought into the 21st century and offers a great potential income stream.

The main home features three bedrooms, two living areas, and a showstopper kitchen that’s been recently renovated to a high standard. While much of the original character has been retained, the modern systems make for easy, efficient living year-round.

A centrally ducted heat pump unit, two fireplaces (one with wetback), and a solar system with battery backup mean comfort and control in every season.

On the land you’ll find real versatility: well-fenced paddocks for stock, a productive orchard, and excellent shedding. There’s a charming, concrete floor American-style barn/garage near the house, a 108 sqm (more or less) concrete-floored pole shed, a stable, and four yards - ideal for anyone wanting to run livestock or horses.

Tucked away from the main house is a fully self-contained one-bedroom cottage. It’s been run as a successful short-term rental, generating a steady supplementary income stream through Airbnb. Equally, it could be a great option for guests, extended family, or independent teens.

And yes, there’s a pool too - the cherry on top for summer living.

The lifestyle here is hard to fault - peaceful, private, and still within easy reach of the city. If you’ve been waiting for something with presence and potential, this one’s well worth your time.
