Nestled near the picturesque village of Upokongaro, just a short drive from Whanganui, this charming 2.8ha (more or less) lifestyle property offers a wonderful blend of country character, modern comforts, and practical infrastructure, with not one but two tidal streams on the boundary, your white baiting nirvana. At the heart of the property sits a warm and inviting 168sqm (more or less) cottage, featuring three spacious bedrooms, a sun-drenched sunroom, and a separate office — ideal for remote work or creative pursuits. The home is kept cosy year-round with two heat pumps, a Lady Kitchener log burner, and a hot water cylinder with wetback for added efficiency.

The updated kitchen is well-equipped with a 2021-installed wall oven and induction hobs, great for home cooks and entertainers alike. Outdoors, the property is set up for rural living with a good array of shedding, including a 9x6m (approximate) red barn, garage, carport, woolshed, workshop, utility room, and more — providing numerous opportunities for hobbies, storage, or small-scale farming.

Accessed via a Class 1-rated bridge, the land is both private and accessible, with the added benefit of riparian access for those who enjoy water access or simply the natural serenity of a stream boundary. Fruit lovers will delight in the established feijoa orchard boasting 75 to 80 trees with income, plus: tangelo, mandarins, avocados, apples, and even a crab-apple tree.

Whether you’re seeking a peaceful country escape, a productive lifestyle block, or a place with space for all your projects, this special property near Upokongaro is one not to be missed.
