68a Marchant Road, Kaitoke, Upper Hutt, Wellington

Vendors retirement North opens up a fabulous opportunity to purchase a lifestyle property on approx. 4.16ha with a second massive outbuilding, wetland conservation area, privacy and charm. It's definitely the place you'll want to call home, under an hour's drive from Wellington, 15 minutes to Upper Hutt CBD or a 7 minute drive to Maymorn train station.

This home is a pleasant retreat from working life. Built around 2003 but with extensive renovations in 2021, it features four bedrooms (or 3 plus work from home office) including a master suite with walk through wardrobe and a beautifully appointed semi ensuite (toilet & vanity). The additional bedrooms are well-sized, 2 having built in wardrobes, ensuring ample storage throughout the home. The large family bathroom hosts a corner spa bath and shower.

Adjacent to the family home with its own access is an impressive shed/workshop facility with 3-phase power. The 120sqm (approx.) building features 3 roller doors (one high stud 2.56m2) and amenities (toilet with vanity, washing machine & hot water cylinder). The configuration and features will meet a wide variety of uses with endless possibilities for storage, contractors' workshop, car enthusiasts, the Motorhome, Boat or hobbies. With council consent, there may be potential to convert all or a portion of this large structure. Thinking of bringing parents or family closer or simply extra income - you choose?

The designer kitchen is a showstopper, it's the heart of the home. A spacious island bench is the perfect centrepiece for entertaining or family gatherings with top appliances and induction cooking. Your comfort is ensured throughout the seasons with a cosy log burner, 2 heat pumps, a ceiling fan and HRV. Practicality is also prioritized with a modern separate laundry.

The seamless indoor-outdoor flow from the living areas to the lovely outdoor space makes this property ideal for year-round entertaining, whether you're hosting friends or simply enjoying the peace and privacy this property offers.

Further outbuildings include a separate open 3-bay implement/hay shed. There is excellent water storage (60,000ltrs), plus modern stockyards and a chook house.

Of special significance is an approx. 1.06acre fully fenced wetland restoration under a QEII covenant. There are several varieties of fruit trees plus a healthy vegetable garden and 8 Hereford/Friesian cross steers graze the land over 7 paddocks recently cut for hay.

Kaitoke is a wonderful community, with community minded and friendly people. There is a school bus service and the Aston Norwood Cafe & Garden Centre is a great place to catch up for a coffee and chat. The well-known Rimutaka Rail trail is just minutes away, and it's a short drive over the hill to the Wairarapa for many of the other activities that this region offers.

This would be a great move for a family keen for adventures, self-sustainability, privacy and freedom. LIM & Builders report available.
