Andrew Pugh, of Century 21 in Palmerston North, says that he rarely gets to bring rural residences of this calibre to market and expects this tidy property on an attractive acre of land to raise significant interest.
“It’s a very nice 1980s house, which is easy to maintain, and it’s lovely at this time of year when the wood burner with wet back keeps the interior very cosy, and power bills to a minimum.”
With four generous bedrooms, 68 Kopane Road in Rongotea is ideal for a family, and two good-sized living areas mean that there’s plenty of room to spread out.

The striking blue kitchen has lots of bench and storage space and a casual dining area lies adjacent.
There are two bathrooms, so no morning queue for the shower, and the decor throughout the home is pleasant and neutral ensuring a quiet ambience.
A sun-kissed north-facing deck is ideal for catching some rays with a coffee or a glass of wine or turning up the barbecue, and as well as an internally accessed double garage there is another free-standing double garage with a hobby room, or workshop, attached.
Pugh says that one of the property’s most striking features is the 9m x 12m near-new Totalspan barn, with a concrete floor, three roller doors and a three-metre stud height, which offers a host of interesting possibilities.
“It’s perfect for boats, trucks, and in fact, I think you could probably get a bus in there or maybe a collection of classic cars.”
The section isn’t large enough for farming, but Pugh says that it will easily accommodate one or two domestic pets, such as a goats or lambs.
Pugh adds that 68 Kopane Road would be an ideal home for one of the many Auckland families who are moving down to Manawatu to work or serve at RNZAF’s Ohakea air base, where a massive new hangar complex is currently under construction. “It’s just a short drive away,” he says.
Kopane School is a small and community-minded school with under 50 pupils and all the benefits that brings.
Nearby Rongotea township is a friendly country hub and a service town for local dairy farms, with a handful of shops and other amenities, plus four churches.
Te Kawau Memorial Recreational Centre is very well-utilised and Te Kawau Rugby Union Club is famous throughout the region.
Rongotea puts on an annual firework display and its December Santa Parade is extremely popular with locals and visitors alike.
“This really is a perfect package for the right buyer, who will quickly see what a great lifestyle opportunity we have here,” Pugh says.
68 Kopane Road will be sold via express sale.
