An exceptional 1.35ha (more or less) landholding of softly undulating grounds surrounds this quintessential white weatherboard villa, offering complete privacy while being just minutes from town. Established traditional gardens frame the home, complemented by an orchard, vegetable garden beds and space for chickens - adding a genuine layer of self-sufficiency to the lifestyle. Originally built in 1920 and extensively renovated and extended in 2009, the home masterfully blends original character with thoughtful modern living, all set against a backdrop of the vast rural landscape, including Mount Ruapehu and Tongariro on the horizon.

Inside, four generous bedrooms and two bathrooms are complemented by multiple and inviting living spaces. Daily life centres around an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. Fully functional and made for connection this zone is also grounded by a wood burner and views out to the countryside. A second living space opens seamlessly through French doors to the traditional wraparound deck - perfect for quiet mornings and watching the seasons roll across the paddocks.

Internally the home features carpet, timber flooring through the service areas, ample linen storage and a separate laundry that all speak to a home that’s as practical as it is beautiful. Insulated throughout with heat transfer, DVS and solar power, ensure comfort and efficiency are well covered.

Outside, the lifestyle dream is fully realised. Seven fenced paddocks invite hobby farming, horses or space to simply enjoy. A detached double garage, extra utility or workshop space, and abundant off-street parking mean there’s room for the boat, caravan, trailer - and then some. Sustainable, spacious and effortlessly considered - this is a lifestyle that feels inevitable once you’ve found it.
