7012 State Highway 1, Pakaraka, Kerikeri, Far North, Northland

Centrally located just north of Pakaraka junction, this stunning almost 5Ha of lifestyle has the feel and look of Waimate North with its volcanic soils, rock walls and is fully established for a new family or retired farmer to enjoy. Easy contours, batten fenced paddocks, pig and chook run. Self-sufficiency here we come.

Set well back of the road, the scale of the dwelling cannot be overestimated, with the main dwelling's four double bedrooms on the ground level, including master with ensuite, three double guest bedrooms, office, family bathroom and separate laundry. Down a few steps is a separate two bedroom apartment with its own entrance, deck area, large living room with fire, bathroom and kitchen, ideal for AIRB&B or the extended family.

Upstairs is the very large formal lounge, dining area with window seat, huge farm style kitchen, all with lovely views over the green pasture and access to the verandah for that alfresco dining. The features in the house are all there, ready to be enhanced by a makeover. Ornate woodwork, solid timber doors and cupboards with stained glass, this is a very solid, grand home, waiting to be brought back to its former glory.

Under cover parking is provided by the two carports or the rustic sheds. Speaking of, the rustic red barn has a hidden secret, the ultimate bar area, great for the party to be kept out the house, be it a man cave or teenage hangout. Every lifestyle block should have one!

Run a few beefies, sheep, have a pony for the kids, pet chooks and pigs, great soils to grow the veges and plenty of water to sustain the lifestyle.

This is a lot of property for the money, a very solid build of concrete slab, concrete block, weather boards and beautiful native timber features throughout.

Renovate, or enjoy as is, opportunity awaits. Viewing is by appointment.
