If houses could talk, this one would share a rich history. Built in the 1950s from solid native timber, this grand old girl was truly built to last. Her stunning hardwood floors have already been lovingly restored - a beautiful foundation ready to be shown off.

Now, she waits for a family with vision, enthusiasm, and that crucial can-do attitude (or a can-pay-someone-to-do-it attitude -both are welcome!). This is your chance to finish the story.

Originally two 2-bedroom attached homes, she was relocated and united on site around 2004. Today she offers:

• Four bedrooms and a massive open-plan living/kitchen/dining space spanning the full width of the house
• Scope to design a luxe master suite complete with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite
• Gorgeous Waihou Valley views—the kind that make your morning coffee taste better
• 4999m² section (just shy of a lifestyle block) featuring a separate double garage, established fruit trees, and gardens. Just add chickens, a trampoline, or a yoga deck - the space is yours to define!
• Minutes from Okaihau township for quick errands, school pick-ups, and a browse through the village. School bus access to Okaihau Primary School and College is a bonus

Yes, she needs some work. You will accumulate paint swatches and strong opinions on tapware. But imagine the reward: a character-filled family home with soul, story, and seriously good bones.

Forget the soulless, cookie-cutter new builds. This offers genuine charm, scale, history, and boundless potential - all wrapped up in a setting that immediately feels like home.

Bring the tools. Bring the vision. Bring the family. Finish this beautiful revival.
