An exceptional 1.35ha (more or less) landholding of softly undulating grounds surrounds this quintessential white weatherboard villa, offering complete privacy while remaining just minutes from town. Established traditional gardens frame the home, complemented by an orchard, productive vegetable beds and dedicated spaces for chickens, ducks, lambs and calves - creating a lifestyle grounded in genuine self-sufficiency.
Originally built in 1920 and extensively renovated and extended in 2009, the home beautifully balances original character with thoughtful modern living, all set against a backdrop of open paddocks and Mount Ruapehu and Tongariro on the horizon.
Inside, four generous bedrooms and two bathrooms are complemented by multiple inviting living spaces. Daily life centres around the open-plan kitchen, dining and living zone - a space designed for connection, warmed by a wood burner with wetback and enjoying expansive rural outlooks. A second living room opens through French doors to the classic wraparound deck, perfect for slow mornings and watching the seasons move across the land.
Comfort and efficiency are well considered, with insulation throughout, heat transfer, DVS, solar power supported by a 2kW battery, and a Puretec water filtration system servicing the property. Practical touches continue with timber flooring through service areas, ample linen storage and a separate laundry - a home that functions as beautifully as it lives.
Outside, the lifestyle dream is fully realised. Seven fenced paddocks, each with its own trough, support hobby farming, grazing or equestrian use, while the land itself invites a return to simpler rhythms. A detached double garage, additional utility or workshop space and generous off-street parking provide room for the boat, caravan and more. Sustainable, spacious and deeply considered - this is a lifestyle that feels not just desirable, but inevitable once experienced.
