A Truly Unique Riverside Haven!

1st time to the market, nestled within the whispering embrace of tranquil gardens and bordered by the peaceful river at your doorstep, this enchanting property offers a lifestyle seldom found and often sought. Originally an 80-year-old dwelling relocated from Hakataramea in 1980, the home has since enjoyed thoughtful additions including the dining room, conservatory, and bedrooms-creating a warm, inviting layout with room to grow and personalise.

Constructed with Oamaru Stone and Hardiplank/Weatherboard, and combination of wooden and aluminium joinery, this charming residence exudes a timeless appeal. Inside, the separate kitchen flows to a generous dining room, perfect for family meals and gatherings. A cosy, separate living area provides a peaceful retreat, kept warm year-round by the new 2023 log burner and heat pump in the bedroom.

2 bedrooms, bathroom featuring a shower over bath, toilet, bathroom heater, and combined laundry facilities. The home also offers a single garage with power, plus a selection of handy garden and wood sheds. Significant improvements ensure peace of mind for the future, including a new 2025 meter board, new wiring, new lighting, updated hot water cylinder wiring, and fresh pink batts insulation throughout most of the home. The view of the dam and river is truly spectacular, plus the extent of established magnolias and rhododendrons, is truly remarkable. Adding to its charm, the property includes a Gypsy caravan (sleeps 4) with water and power connected, a 2016 insulated sleep out, and a spa pool that is negotiable.

Step outside to enjoy the delightful wee deck balcony, where native birds provide the soundtrack to your morning coffee. With river surrounds, privacy, and nature-rich tranquility, the setting is nothing short of magical. Tidy as is, with endless potential for the next purchaser to leave their mark. Rarely do opportunities like this arise.
