A quick settlement is available.

Recently fully refurbished, this lovely home started out as a “cottage” in the 1920s, and a number of those features remain such as high battened ceilings and wood panelled doors. The home has been completely repainted inside and out, reroofed and rewired, is now double glazed and fully insulated (ceilings, walls, underfloor). The layout includes a welcoming entry space and hallway that looks right through to the garden, 2 spacious bedrooms with robes, plus another single bedroom, lounge with heat pump, wetroom style bathroom with toilet and heated towel rail, kitchen/dining room with woodfire, laundry, and a generous storage/linen room. A carport adjoins the entry porch. The home is light and spacious with lovely vistas from most windows which include our Ruapehu. Out the back, with the mountain, garden and rural views is a big deck, partially closed in against the weather. This is accessed through double doors from the renovated kitchen/dining area. A wide stacker/slider window creates a great alfresco feeling onto deck and garden in the summer and if you open the front door, you create a cool breezeway right through the house.

Gardens have been re-established, including natives, spring blossom, autumn colour deciduous, veges and fruit trees (attracting lots of kereru, tuis, bellbird, grey warblers et al! ), a grow tunnel and Raetihi’s only weather reporting station (that I know of)! New utility shed includes space for trailer, garden tools and firewood. An old refurbished MOW shed also avail for a workshop. Rainwater tanks are installed to collect off the house and the shed.

Across the paddock at the rear, there are towering poplars. When the wind goes through them, it sounds like the sea. Most times the neighbourhood is incredibly quiet. Locals are friendly, theres a keen community spirit. Great fish and chips, homemade cakes at local cafe, the real rural lifestyle.Theres a soothing curated nature stream walk 10 mins walk away along the Makotuku Stream. And if you want a bit more upmarket, Ohakune is a 10 min drive, New World supermarket, cafes, restaurants.

All legal matters re sale will be handled by my solicitor.
