314 Rakaiatai Road, Dannevirke, Tararua, Manawatu / Whanganui

Just 15 minutes from Dannevirke and 35 minutes from Waipukurau, this fabulous lifestyle property offers the perfect blend of rural tranquillity and everyday convenience. Set on 8 hectares of flat, productive land, this is the ultimate haven for those craving space and privacy — all wrapped in a picture-perfect setting of established gardens and vibrant colour.

As you arrive, you’re greeted by beautifully manicured lawns, mature trees, and bursts of floral charm that make this property feel like a private retreat. The 4-bedroom home exudes warmth and comfort, offering generous spaces for family living. The open-plan dining and lounge area flows seamlessly onto a sun-soaked, north-facing patio — the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or entertain friends while soaking in the views. The kitchen is both functional and inviting, complete with a cosy nook ideal for a TV and couch — the heart of family life.

While the home is perfectly liveable as-is, it also holds exciting potential for those looking to add their own modern touch in the future.

For those who need room for hobbies, work, or animals, the infrastructure here is great. The 3-bay shed includes one bay with a roller door, concrete floor, and extra height to accommodate horse trucks or tall machinery — plus a set of stables neatly attached to the rear. The property also features a small set of sheep yards near the road and reliable stock water via an easement from the neighbours.

Whether you’re a family wanting room for the kids to ride ponies and motorbikes, retirees seeking peace and space, or anyone longing for a slice of country paradise — this property delivers it all.
