Those looking for character, space and a genuine peaceful village feel will feel right at home in this three-bedroom Ōtāne property. Set on a 1014m² landscaped section with a variety of fruit trees, a 90m² floor plan and generous off-street parking for three vehicles, it offers practical everyday living with room for family, pets, visitors and weekend life.

Inside, the home has a warm, flexible feel, with more than one living space giving everyone options to gather, unwind or find a quieter corner. Timber and carpeted flooring help define the sitting and dining areas, while large timber-framed windows draw in natural light and leafy garden outlooks. Gas hot water and a cosy radiator heating system add comfort, while character has been maintained through the retention of the house’s original native timber features.

The three bedrooms are positioned away from the main living areas, creating a more restful sense of separation at the end of the day. Each room is well sized and light, with garden views adding to the calm feel. One of the bedrooms is currently being used as a home office with built-in shelving, which is a useful bonus for professionals, homework or keeping household admin organised, while the family bathroom with separate toilet supports daily routines.

Outside, the fully-fenced section and covered front porch create a welcoming arrival. Lawns, hedges, garden beds, and a fenced pool area shape the section into a series of usable outdoor spaces, with room for children to play, pets to roam or adults to enjoy a quiet coffee in the sun. Two garden sheds, raised garden beds, and a large chook run provide a truly self-sufficient village lifestyle.

Ōtāne’s friendly village setting adds to the appeal, with the local Cafe, Pub, Hall and Arts and Crafts Centre and Sports Club to keep you engaged. Ōtāne is in easy reach to amenities with Waipawa and Waipukurau a short drive away. To see how this character-filled home could work for you, contact Darren Cuneen to arrange a viewing.
