Set across approximately 5.6 hectares of predominantly flat, highly usable land, this exceptional lifestyle property offers an enviable combination of privacy, productive land, character and space, all within easy reach of the city.
At its heart is the original farmhouse, thoughtfully renovated and extended to create a comfortable and highly versatile home that retains plenty of its original charm. Beautiful Matai flooring, leadlight windows and an inbuilt woodburner bring warmth and character, while the extended layout provides the space and functionality expected of modern country living.
The home is thoughtfully arranged around a welcoming central entrance and hallway, creating a natural separation between the living areas and ensuite bedroom wings. At the centre of family life is the generous open-plan kitchen and dining area, with the kitchen enjoying a practical connection to the laundry and extended mud room, which is an especially useful addition for a lifestyle property, with a separate WC providing further convenience.
From the dining area, doors open to the extensive outdoor decking, creating an easy connection between inside and out. The spacious living room, complete with inbuilt woodburner, provides a relaxed gathering space, while the adjoining sunroom offers another light-filled retreat, ideal for morning coffee, reading or simply enjoying the outlook.
Adding an element of indulgence rarely found in a lifestyle property, a large wine cellar incorporated into the house provides excellent storage and a dedicated space for collecting and enjoying wine.
Bedroom accommodation is well separated from the main living spaces. The master suite enjoys its own private wing, with a generous bedroom opening directly onto the deck, a substantial walk-in wardrobe and beautifully appointed ensuite. Two further ensuite bedrooms are positioned nearby, each well-proportioned and filled with natural light.
A dedicated home office, library, retreat or fourth bedroom sits near the entrance, a space providing numerous options without compromising the privacy of the main living areas.
Multiple decks and outdoor areas surround the home, making the most of the property's peaceful rural setting and views towards Kāpiti Island. A spa pool on the deck adds another layer of relaxed outdoor living, the perfect place to unwind at the end of the day.
Beyond the house, the land is where this property really sets itself apart. The predominantly flat, fertile acreage offers genuine versatility, whether your interests lie in grazing, horses, horticulture, gardening or simply having the freedom that substantial land provides.
Established infrastructure includes a stockyard and two stables plus tack room while the fertile soils provide exciting opportunities for those wanting to grow produce, establish an orchard or develop a productive garden. With the property's natural environment and native vegetation, beekeeping would also be a natural fit.
A particularly special feature is the inclusion of an Environmental Zone, providing a valuable natural habitat and attracting an abundance of birdlife. Here, productive open land sits alongside established native vegetation, creating a genuine sense of connection with the landscape.
The property’s impressive array of outbuildings further enhances its versatility, including three bay garaging plus a single garage with inspection pit, stockyard, two stables plus tack room, summerhouse/ studio and separate potting shed. Together, they provide exceptional space for vehicles, equipment, horses, hobbies, gardening and relaxed outdoor living.
For those considering the property's longer-term potential, the landholding offers future subdivision possibilities, subject to council approval.
This is much more than a traditional lifestyle block. It's a character-filled original farmhouse with a thoughtful modern extension, beautifully laid-out living spaces, productive acreage, native bush, established infrastructure and exceptional lifestyle potential.
Private, versatile and full of possibilities, this is a rare opportunity to secure property where country living, nature and convenience come together.
