Creativity Meets Countryside Calm

Tucked just beyond the bustle of everyday life, this one-of-a-kind Ararimu property feels a world away, yet it's only moments from the Southern Motorway, giving you the best of both worlds. Set across ten acres of peaceful countryside, this remarkable home was clearly ahead of its time when it was built. With strong architectural bones, intriguing angles and generous proportions, it's ready for a new era.

The main home features five bedrooms, two bathrooms and a farm-sized laundry flowing from the double internal garage. Upstairs, an open-plan lounge and kitchen take in sweeping views, across the pool and lawns to the arena and rolling hills beyond.

Separate from the main home, with its own driveway and parking, is a spacious two-bedroom granny flat. Built in 2014 with full consent, it benefits from the updated septic system and provides the perfect space for extended family, guests or an ongoing income stream. The property's close motorway access has made it a consistently popular choice for travelers seeking a tranquil rural stay via Air BnB.

The land itself offers a blend of many gently contoured small paddocks and two larger hill paddocks. The existing grass arena still holds a solid base, with a sand-and-rubber base, along with two covered yards, and outdoor pens, all in place for horse lovers. Ponds laced with lily pads, a meandering creek and mature trees wrap the setting in natural serenity, you can almost feel the pace of life slow as you drive in.

This is a property with heart, history and endless potential. Everything is here, the infrastructure, the privacy, the character, ready for the next owner to make their mark.
