Step back in time to Soldiers Retreat, a remarkable property with deep ties to New Zealand's post war heritage. Built to accommodate returning serviceman after WW1, this unique landmark stands as a testament to a generation that helped shape the nation. At the heart of the property is this historic hall, constructed during the same era as the renowned ANZAC Hall in Featherston, reflecting the optimism and community spirit of the post-war years.

The expansive open plan lounge is the heart of the home, featuring beautiful native timber floors and the cathedral style ceilings showcase rich native timber overhead. Bathed in natural light, the living area offers multiple spaces to relax, entertain, or gather around the wood burner on cooler evenings. French doors open out to the west-facing deck to enjoy afternoon sunshine and sunsets.

Designed for both daily living and entertaining, the spacious kitchen and dining area provides an inviting space for family and friends to connect. Large windows flood the room with natural light, while additional French doors extend the living space outdoors opening onto a deck overlooking the gardens - an ideal setting for alfresco dining and summer barbecues.

Year round comfort is ensured with double glazing as well as 3 heat-pumps. The family bathroom is conveniently configured as a combined bathroom including a bath and separate shower. The laundry is neatly tucked beneath the staircase, making excellent use of this space. Two double bedrooms provide comfortable retreats whilst the third bedroom is upstairs. The mezzanine retreat offers a unique and versatile space and is currently used as a bedroom. The vaulted ceilings continue upstairs, creating an airy sense of space. Overlooking the grand living area, this expansive loft style bedroom embraces the character and scale of the original hall conversion.

Set on approximately one acre, the property features beautifully landscaped gardens and elegant boxed hedging, creating a private and picturesque environment. The expansive grounds also offer potential for future subdivision, subject to council approval. A double garage provides secure parking and additional storage.

This property represents an excellent opportunity for families and investors alike.
