927 Alma-Maheno Road, Oamaru, Waitaki, Otago

If you’ve been hunting for a lifestyle that offers space and more than just a pretty paddock, this one will hit different. Set across 6222 sqm of land on two titles, it gives you a comfortable home, shedding and practical outdoor spaces that are already doing the work.

The home centres on a warm, open living zone that captures lovely light throughout the day. A freestanding wood burner anchors the lounge, keeping winter nights toasty, while chandeliers and decorative ceilings nod to the home’s original character. The kitchen links easily with the dining room and main lounge, keeping the family connected or creating a natural hub when friends drop by.

Three generous bedrooms, fresh interior finishes, modern carpet and a wide, character hallway give the home a settled, comfortable feel. Storage is well taken care of, with built-ins and hallway cupboards, and the bathroom and separate laundry are positioned for busy family routines. Throughout, high ceilings, plaster detailing and classic joinery give the interiors a proper country home feel.

Outside, the elevated deck steps down to level lawns, established planting and pockets of personality - including a rustic pergola/play area with old farm pulley wheel, raised beds and pathways kids will love exploring. Further out, the land unfolds into a level fenced paddock - great for a few stock or hobby space. Multiple garages, a sizable workshop, extra storage and hardstand areas give you space for utes, trailers, tractors, boats and project vehicles without crowding the house.

Location-wise, you’re in a handy spot: an easy run into Oamaru for schools, supermarkets, sport and cafés, with Maheno village, local clubs and SH1 access all close by. It’s a smart option for families, downsizers from larger farms, or anyone wanting just that little extra space.
