Description
Tucked away in a peaceful cul-de-sac and surrounded by open farmland, this charming lifestyle property offers privacy, space, and the perfect setting for self-sufficient living. With a fully fenced section, established fruit trees, raised vegetable beds, and even a paddock with hen house, it's an ideal choice for anyone wanting to grow their own food, keep chickens, or enjoy country living close to town.
Inside, the home features three bedrooms (two doubles and one single), an open-plan kitchen and dining area, plus a separate living room with a cosy inbuilt wood burner. A second wood burner in the dining area and heat pumps in the living room, dining room, and main bedroom ensure year-round comfort. The layout also includes a separate laundry and a wet-floor bathroom with shower-over-bath. The home is insulated in both the ceiling and underfloor, and offers the convenience of gas hot water and gas cooking.
Outdoors, the property truly shines. The rear paddock includes a hen house and is perfect for free-range chickens - or even letting the neighbour's sheep in to help keep the grass down. A sunken garden with a tunnel house and outdoor fireplace provides an ideal spot for year-round growing and relaxing. Fruit lovers will appreciate the wide assortment of established plantings, including apple, apricot, crabapple, feijoa, fig, raspberries, and thornless blackberry.
Additional features include:
- Garden shed with power
- Single garage with automatic door, workbench, and extra man-cave space
- Off-street parking for four vehicles
- Extra hard-standing area on the opposite side of the house with its own gated entrance
Conveniently located, it's just a short walk or quick drive into town where you'll find New World supermarket and Taihape Area School. St Joseph's Primary School is located just out of town.
As an added bonus, a 2008 Jaguar XF with current registration and warrant can be included in the sale if desired.
A beautifully positioned property on a quiet street with sweeping rural views - perfect for anyone seeking a peaceful, productive lifestyle with all essentials close by.
