Stunning lifestyle - privacy, lake and pines

Properties of this calibre are rarely seen in the Rangitikei. Set across 11.39ha (more or less), a sweeping driveway lined with redwoods, magnolias and spring bulbs leads to a roundabout and two powered three bay sheds, before the home comes into view, with its timber details and pitched rooflines.

The 390sqm (more or less) home unfolds in rich rimu, kauri, limestone and bluestone, creating warmth and character throughout. The kitchen is exceptional, complete with skylights, in residents' pewter tapware with copper sink, marble benchtop, a powered island, soft touch drawers, two dish drawers, and adjoining access up from the internal double garage via a beautiful rimu stairwell.

At the heart of the open plan lounge and dining area is an open fireplace framed by a Central Otago bluestone surround with an integrated woodbox, while French doors open seamlessly to the garden entertaining area. Off the lounge, stairs lead to the upper level where two bedrooms enjoy natural light, pitched ceilings, dam views, a private balcony, and a bathroom. A light-filled study sits beneath high timber ceilings with skylights, limestone flooring underfoot and large windows. The master suite occupies its own wing, positioned to capture the morning sun. Complete with linen curtains, a walk-in dressing room with his and hers wardrobes framed by mirrored cabinetry, and an ensuite with an inset bathtub and tiled limestone shower, imagine this: your own serene and private retreat.

Wool carpet, internal radiators and a Rayburn system heating both water and radiators complete the home’s outstanding level of finish. Practical spaces flow together, such as the laundry, walk-in linen room, heated flooring in the laundry, and a hot water cupboard, ensuring everyday comfort.

What further elevates this property is the garden estate that surrounds it. Approximately 4ha of landscaped grounds unfold across layered terraces that follow the natural contours of the land, with access tracks weaving throughout, evolving beautifully through the seasons. Established ornamental plantings sit alongside productive fruit and nut trees, complemented by a berry cage, asparagus garden and raised vegetable beds. The lake is planted in rushes and irises and flanked by acorns and apple trees that provide natural food sources for ducks and wildlife, while four maimais are positioned across the upper and lower dams. Completing the setting is approximately 7ha of well-tended mature pines, forming a private backdrop and offering future harvest potential. Find a shooting range hut tucked away in the mature native bush for another relaxed rural enjoyment.

This is more than a home, it is a multi-layered, next-level lifestyle estate that offers beauty, capability, and a sense of tranquillity that is increasingly rare. An environment that feels both luxurious and deeply grounded in nature.
