1597 Turakina Valley Road, Marton, Rangitikei, Manawatu / Whanganui

Set on approximately 5.54 hectares (more or less) in the Turakina Valley, this property offers a comfortable home, self-contained studio, grazing, native bush, shedding and private access to the Turakina River.

Bring the horses, run a few cattle or sheep, fill the sheds, explore the bush or launch the kayak from your own private boat ramp. There's room here for the family, the animals, the hobbies and all the gear that comes with them.

At the heart of the property is a warm three-bedroom home with open-plan kitchen, dining and living. Double glazing, insulation, a log fire and heat pump keep things comfortable year-round, while the covered deck is the perfect spot to sit back and enjoy the peace of the valley.

The separate self-contained one-bedroom studio adds real flexibility for extended family, guests or simply extra space. A separate rumpus room, currently used as an art studio, gives you another versatile area, while the three-bay shed provides the practical space every lifestyle property needs.

The 5.54 hectares combines useful grazing with regenerating native bush, but it's the river that really sets this property apart. Private access and your own boat ramp puts the Turakina River at your doorstep for kayaking, swimming, exploring or simply escaping for the afternoon.

This is the ultimate lifestyle package; space, versatility and the freedom to enjoy rural living at its best, all within easy reach of Marton, Turakina, Whanganui and Ohakea.
