367 Forest Hill Road, Aokautere, Palmerston North, Manawatu / Whanganui

Hilltop Seven Bedroom Lodge, airbnb or Family Home

Perched high in the Tararua Ranges tree line at the end of a fully tarsealed road, this exceptional hilltop home enjoys breathtaking panoramic views across Palmerston North and the vast alluvial Manawatu Plains. Fully refurbished and thoughtfully designed for family living, the property includes a spacious six-bedroom home plus a self-contained one-bedroom studio.

Two expansive living areas are true showstoppers, including an impressive kitchen and family room with a breakfast bar opening onto an extensive entertaining deck - the perfect spot to take in those magnificent views. One wing of the home features the master bedroom with an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, along with three additional bedrooms and a family bathroom. The second wing offers a super-sized lounge and two double bedrooms, both with ensuites - ideal for extended family or guests.

Unquestionably unique and special, this elevated property is framed by established pine trees (with harvest due in approximately 15 years and replanting obligations) and bordered by a QEII-protected native wildlife area, providing privacy, tranquillity, and a rare natural setting.
