Space to Grow
The property comprises 11 and 13 Ngarimu Street, Ohura — two contiguous titles being sold together, offering flexibility, usable land and future possibilities.
Outside, there is plenty of room for vehicles, fruit trees, gardens, sheds, a carport or a garage. The property is fully fenced on three sides and backs onto a reserve area leading down to the river, while the outlook to the Waitaanga Ranges adds a special sense of space and connection to the surrounding landscape.
Try Before You Buy
One of the most unique features of this sale is the chance to experience the property before making your decision.
As the home has operated for several years as a popular B&B, prospective purchasers are welcome to book a stay at $120 per room, per night and spend time in the home, the township and the surrounding area before deciding whether this is the right move for them.
