If you're seeking a truly special property with deep roots in the heritage of the Rangitikei region, this charming home in the welcoming village of Hunterville deserves your attention.
Nestled at the end of a quiet side road, yet just a stone's throw from the Main Street and State Highway 1, this residence offers the perfect blend of privacy and convenience.
Designed by renowned architect Sir Michael Fowler and built in 1959 by Lady and Sir T.A. Duncan of the historic Otairi Station, this home is a testament to mid-century design and timeless craftsmanship. Constructed with native timbers and meticulous attention to detail, it has remained in the Duncan family since it was built, preserving its original character and charm.
Step through the formal entrance and into a serene, generously proportioned lounge. Floor-to-ceiling sash windows frame views of the manicured lawn and thoughtfully designed, low-maintenance gardens-creating a peaceful retreat filled with natural light.
The sunroom and dining area also feature these bespoke sash windows, allowing for excellent airflow and a seamless connection to the outdoors-perfect for summer entertaining.
Originally configured with four bedrooms-an office, a housekeeper's room, and a master suite with an ensuite and adjoining nurse's room-the layout offers flexibility for modern living.
Beyond the home itself, the property includes a double garage, with an adjoining workshop and additional storage room, providing ample space for vehicles, tools, and hobbies. For those with rural aspirations, the paddocks are ideal for a few sheep or other small livestock, adding to the lifestyle appeal.
This is more than a home; it's a piece of New Zealand history. With its elegant design, rich heritage, and tranquil setting, it offers a rare opportunity for the next custodian to enjoy a truly unique lifestyle.
