3 Cochrane Drive, Kerikeri, Far North, Northland

Location is so key in any real estate transaction, that they say it in triplicate. Cochrane Drive, one of the premier subdivisions is a value holder. There hasn’t been a house sale in the street under $1M in over three years. This is very real investment buying, be it for your home or investment portfolio

Situated on 4,000sqm of flat useable volcanic soils, under the new district plan, this lot could be sub-dividable (subject to plan approval). Either way, there is plenty of room for the granny flat, especially now with the new under 70M² rules coming in next year.

Three double bedrooms, including master with ensuite, plus a large rumpus (converted original double garage) which could easily be the fourth bedroom, (subject to insulation), or the second lounge. Open plan easy care kitchen, with polished concrete floors, island that opens out to the large lounge / dining with vaulted ceilings and the wonderful under cover north facing alfresco entertainment area. A family bathroom, office and separate laundry completes the package of this surprisingly large home

This home has been designed to cater for all seasons, with ceiling fans, two heat pumps and the woodburner for the cooler months. Those nasty power bills will also be offset by the solar system and battery Double garaging has been added to replace what is now the rumpus room, and there is plenty of off-street parking for the toys.

The grounds are mature, with beautiful trees, including a variety of fruit trees, plenty of flat lawn, for the backyard cricket or room for a pool. It really is a tranquil park like environ, ideal for the bbq in the shade of the covered entertaining area, gazing at the lush green vista, with sounds of children’s laughter whilst playing. Oh how those hazy, lazy days of summer beckon

Walk to the sports fields, cycle to school, a short drive to Kerikeri or Waipapa and the boat ramp. At this price and in this location, this won’t last long Viewing by appointment
