80 South Belt, Masterton, Wellington

Step beyond the trees and electric gated entrance to discover a truly distinctive property - one that feels lifted straight from the English countryside, yet perfectly positioned within town. Built in the late 1990s by Madderom Homes, this character-rich residence carries history in every beam.

Native timbers throughout were thoughtfully repurposed from a dismantled local building, gifting the home a story, a soul, and a sense of permanence rarely found today. Inside, solid craftsmanship meets considered modern upgrades. Fresh carpets, upgraded bathrooms, solar power, and a wood-burning stove create warmth in every sense - heating radiators and hot water while filling the home with cosy ambience. A second stove will delight those who love to cook. The home offers three generous bedrooms upstairs, with a fourth bedroom or second lounge downstairs, providing flexible living options.

Outside is where the magic truly unfolds. Set on a private 3,173m², the grounds form a flourishing lifestyle haven - a thriving food forest and abundant orchard where chickens roam freely and a hidden hobby room awaits discovery. Enjoy a remarkable array of plantings including two avocado trees, olives, ginkgo, citrus varieties, nut trees, berries, raised vegetable beds, a lawn tennis court, and romantic roses completing the picture.

This is a home for those seeking charm, warmth, privacy and space - a hidden treasure set among a thriving food forest offering country soul with town convenience.
