23 Jacks Bush Road, Waikanae, Kapiti Coast, Wellington

Set across three acres of expansive countryside just minutes from Waikanae township, this exceptional lifestyle property offers the freedom of rural living without sacrificing everyday convenience. Cafés, shops, schools and transport links are all close at hand, delivering a true best-of-both-worlds opportunity.

Privately positioned well back from the road, the solid brick and tile home enjoys peace, privacy, and an open outlook, surrounded by established easy-care gardens. The vendors have thoughtfully planted and landscaped the immediate grounds around the home for minimal maintenance, while neighbouring sheep grazing the surrounding paddocks further enhance the effortless lifestyle feel.

Recent upgrades include newly replaced gutters, and the home’s careful positioning ensures it is not overlooked, creating a genuine sense of retreat so close to town. Year-round comfort is assured with gas-fired central heating complemented by a DVS-style ventilation system, creating a warm and healthy living environment.

At the heart of the home is a Chatswood designer kitchen, complete with high-end Bosch appliances, all included as part of the chattels. The seamless flow between the kitchen, living and dining areas, and out to the outdoor entertaining spaces makes this home ideal for relaxed family living and hosting guests. Quality carpets, flooring, drapes, blinds, and fitted insect nets feature throughout the living areas.

Accommodation is generous, with four well-proportioned bedrooms, all fitted with wardrobes. The master suite provides a private retreat, featuring a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite with underfloor heating. A well-appointed family bathroom includes a bath, shower, and a separate toilet for added convenience.

Storage is abundant throughout, complemented by a carpeted integral double garage with an insulated door and access via a loft ladder to a fully boarded loft space—ideal for additional storage.

Outdoors, the lifestyle truly comes into its own. A single Versatile garage, currently used as a workshop, is perfect for tools and equipment, while two nearly new Gubba sheds offer further storage for garden tools, bikes, and recreational gear. Garden enthusiasts will appreciate the greenhouse, raised vegetable beds, fruit cage, and a well-established orchard, all set within an enclosed landscaped garden designed for beauty with minimal maintenance.

For those seeking a genuine country feel without the workload, there is space to run a few sheep or keep chickens, with a large chicken run already in place — or simply enjoy the neighbouring sheep quietly grazing the paddocks. Two covered patio areas capture all-day sun, one featuring a spa (negotiable), ideal for unwinding and entertaining.

Set on an elevated site, the property also features a special sundown spot with sturdy bench seating (included) and space for a fire pit, where you can relax with a drink and take in views toward Kapiti Island. With established easy-care gardens, neighbouring grazing maintaining the wider landscape, and a ride-on mower (negotiable) to take care of the rest, this is lifestyle living made refreshingly simple.

A rare offering that combines space, privacy, and comfort just moments from town — countryside living without compromise.
