Your Country Escape Starts Here

Set on 1.53 hectares in the heart of Ongaonga, this exceptional lifestyle property offers the perfect balance of rural charm, modern comfort, and endless opportunity. A stunning tree-lined entrance creates an immediate sense of arrival, leading to a warm and inviting home nestled among beautifully established grounds.

The cosy three-bedroom residence is thoughtfully designed for relaxed country living. With two bathrooms and a dedicated study, there is space for both family life and working from home. A new dining and kitchen extension forms the heart of the home, featuring a designer kitchen with quality appliances-ideal for entertaining and everyday living. Comfort is guaranteed year-round with a heat pump, while the new freestanding Woodsman fire on wetback adds cosy ambience and energy-efficient warmth during cooler months.

Seamless indoor-outdoor flow leads to a fabulous new outdoor living area that follows the sun, perfect for long summer evenings and gatherings. The established gardens offer privacy and colour throughout the seasons, complemented by a thriving orchard of pears, apples, quinces, persimmons, figs, peaches, apricots, and more. There are also berry plantings and a productive vegetable garden, supporting a truly self-sufficient lifestyle.

Originally approximately 100sqm, the thoughtful house extension has transformed the home and enhanced the indoor-outdoor living, making it a wonderful space for family life and entertaining.

The property is superbly equipped with a chook house, lock-up garage, double carport, and well-designed dog kennels featuring three insulated rooms. These were designed for dog breeding but offer excellent versatility and could just as easily be used for pet lambs, storage, or even preserving and storing produce from the abundant fruit trees.

There are two fenced paddocks with troughs and a loading race, perfect for a horse or a few sheep.

Located close to the charming and historic village of Ongaonga-renowned for its preserved late-19th-century buildings and strong rural community-this property offers both convenience and connection. The village features a local garage, general store, tea rooms, primary school, and even a golf course. Despite its peaceful setting, it's just 20 kilometres from Waipukurau and a 45-minute drive to Hastings via State Highway 50.

More than a home, this property is a lifestyle opportunity delivering space, comfort, character, and freedom in one remarkable package.
