What a gem of a find on a lovely country road! Escape the ordinary and discover a lifestyle where space, privacy and sustainability come together. Located within easy reach of Palmerston North, Feilding, Linton and RNZAF Base Ohakea, this lifestyle retreat offers the chance to slow down, reconnect and truly live off the land without sacrificing comfort or convenience. Set across 2.96 acres (more or less) of established grounds, this vibrant character-filled villa has been transformed into a warm and welcoming sanctuary for modern family living. Inside, the home offers four generous bedrooms, expansive open-plan living, a spacious family bathroom and a practical separate laundry - all thoughtfully configured for effortless everyday living. The kitchen is a standout centrepiece, blending timeless country style with superb functionality. Designed as the social heart of the home, it invites everything from busy family breakfasts at the kitchen island to relaxed evenings in the dining area or in the cosy lounge. The home enjoys seamless flow to a covered outdoor living area which comes complete with a woodfire pizza oven and barbecue space, this impressive entertaining zone creates the perfect place for unforgettable gatherings with friends and family in every season. The grounds are a dream for anyone seeking a more self-reliant lifestyle. Imagine harvesting from your own established orchard with over 100 fruit and nut trees, collecting fresh eggs from the enclosed chicken coop, growing year-round produce in three tunnel houses and tending thriving vegetable gardens. Surrounded by hundreds of native plantings, the property feels peaceful, private and wonderfully connected to nature. Adding even more appeal are the practical sustainability features including four 30,000-litre water tanks and twenty solar panels, with battery storage capacity helping create an environmentally conscious lifestyle with long-term benefits. A large workshop/garage with triple roller doors provides exceptional storage for vehicles, machinery, the boat or caravan, while the attached newly refurbished self-contained studio unlocks endless possibilities. Whether you are accommodating extended family, creating a work-from-home setup, running a business or seeking additional guest space, this flexible addition is an absolute pearler of an asset. Families will also appreciate the convenience of a bus stop right at the entrance with access to excellent local schooling options, making daily life that much easier. Rarely does a property offer this level of versatility, comfort and genuine lifestyle freedom. A place where memories are made, and a fun property with so much to offer.
