Country Residence in the Making

For those looking for a secluded country lifestyle, have DIY skills and are not afraid of a bit of hard graft then this is a country retreat to check out.

Hidden among mature trees and meandering garden paths, the early 1900s double-gable homestead reveals itself slowly, almost like a secret from another era. Although weathered by time, this enchanting residence still carries the charm and craftsmanship of yesteryear, the wide hallway, character sash windows, French doors, bay windows, and the unmistakable charm only an older villa can offer.

Stepping through the sunny courtyard and across the veranda, you enter a home filled with possibility. The kitchen blends practicality with nostalgic country style, complete with a traditional larder that recalls simpler times as does the old concrete meat safe out the "backdoor".

At the heart of the home, a large lounge invites family gatherings, while the separate dining room opens gracefully onto the courtyard through elegant French doors. The home itself spans approximately 189sqm and offers four generous double bedrooms, three with built-in wardrobes, alongside a spacious family bathroom that has been updated more recently with a separate shower, bath, and toilet. There is a separate laundry and small room that could be utilised as an office for those seeking the work from home lifestyle.

While renovations have been undertaken over the years with updated ceiling insulation, a new log-burner in the hallway, many window frames repaired, some electrical rewiring, a newer hot water cylinder, and an updated septic tank system, don't be fooled as there is still more you could do.

Outside, on the 1.201 Ha of land, the lifestyle unfolds in every direction. Established gardens, rustic pathways, and sweeping rural views toward the Kakanui and Kauru Hills create an atmosphere of tranquillity and timeless country living. Scattered across the property are a collection of rustic old farm buildings rich with character and treasures, many of the treasures will stay with the property. Whispering stories of the land's farming past, the six-bay implement shed, old smithy, wool shed with lean-to, and vintage outbuilding with power and toilet facilities would all reap the reward of some serious TLC.

Along the meandering garden paths can be found garden treasures, an array of fruit trees and a tunnel house that could be re-instated to grow the more tender crops along with a "Summer House" to enjoy an afternoon cuppa. Two pet sheep currently frequent the paddock and graze under the large specimen trees.

This is not a property for the faint-hearted but for those seeking a lifestyle rich in character and charm, who have vision and a passion for renovation, the rewards could be extraordinary.

My vendor is ready to hand over the reins to the next like-minded person, if you think this is the next place you could call home give Jan a call for more information or to arrange a time to view.
