For 51 years this Greenpark lifestyle property has been a labour of love. What began as bare land around an already character-filled home is now an established oasis of trees, hedges, gardens and open lawns - a place where children have grown up climbing trees, feeding lambs, riding bikes and watching sunsets over the paddock. Now, for the first time in over half a century, this much-loved home is ready for its next chapter. The two-storey home combines history, warmth and practicality. Parts of the house date back to around 1895, and it has been thoughtfully added to and extended over the years, creating a unique blend of heritage charm and everyday liveability.
Sun pours into the main living areas, with outlooks over the lawns, orchard and paddock. Multiple living spaces, good bedroom options and lots of in-built storage (including an attic space behind the master bedroom) make it easy to configure for families, hobbies or working from home. This is the kind of house that feels instantly "lived in and loved" - a place for winter evenings around the table, summer doors flung open to the garden, and kids or grandkids drifting in and out all day.
Over five decades, the owners have planted, nurtured and shaped the land into a mature lifestyle block:

• Orchard: mixed fruit trees providing seasonal harvests and a beautiful backdrop year-round.
• Vegetable gardens: established beds that let you grow your own produce from day one.
• 7-room barn: a generous multi-room barn offering huge flexibility - workshop, storage, hobby rooms, or base for a small-scale business.
• Lawns & shelter: broad, level lawns perfect for children, pets and outdoor gatherings, with tall macrocarpa hedges for shelter, privacy and that classic rural feel.
• Paddock: space for horses or other animals, pets or future projects - whether that's a few sheep, a pony, or simply open green space.

This is a true "hobby farm" lifestyle: enough land to enjoy, garden and graze, but still very manageable for a couple or family.
We invite you to come and walk the land, feel the shelter of the hedges, step inside this historic home, stroll to the rail trail, and imagine your own story here.
