Property details

Listing # TPU222076 | Listed on 3 March

Set across approximately 4.48 hectares (+/-), this established lifestyle property offers more than acreage — it offers opportunity. A place where mornings begin with mist rising gently over the paddocks, and evenings are spent on the deck as the sun sinks behind rolling pasture. Here, life moves at a more intentional pace.

At the heart of the property sits a 126m² farmhouse, practical in layout and rich in rural charm. The farmhouse kitchen is generously proportioned and complemented by an equally generous butler’s pantry/laundry, creating space and functionality for everyday living.
The open-plan living area is warmed by a fireplace connected to a wetback, and radiator heating provides comfort and efficiency throughout the seasons. The home comprises three bedrooms, one bathroom and an additional separate toilet, with two expansive decks designed to encourage seamless connection with the outdoors — perfect for entertaining, relaxing, and taking in the surrounding landscape.

Beyond the home, the land is thoughtfully divided into five well-fenced paddocks, each with its own water supply — ideal for grazing stock or embracing a more self-sufficient way of living. Your own fresh water spring will provide endless hours of joy, is loaded with Koura, and connects to the Pakanui stream as it meanders gently through one of the lower paddocks.

Cattle yards are already in place, complemented by a double garage and a range of sheds providing ample space for equipment, projects, or substantial storage. An old woolshed has an adjoining shed connected, used for homekill purposes. This can easily be re-established to bring a small business opportunity back to life.

An onsite bore provides water for this property and is metered to two others.

The infrastructure is practical, established, and ready to support whatever direction you choose.

Offered for sale “As Is, Where Is,” it presents a genuine opportunity for buyers who recognise potential and appreciate the strength of a solid foundation.

Lifestyle properties of this scale, with established services and rural infrastructure, are becoming increasingly difficult to secure. Whether you envision a refined country retreat, a working lifestyle block, or a long-term landholding, this property invites imagination — and rewards vision.

School buses provide accessibility to a range of schools for all ages. Community is strong here with plenty of local events for fun and connection.

Pureora Forest Park is right on your doorstep, offering further outdoor lifestyle opportunities for mountain bikers, trampers and hunters.

There is something deeply grounding about arriving home to open space, quiet skies, and land that is truly your own.
