There are lifestyle properties… and then there are properties that make you slow down, breathe a little deeper, and wonder why you hadn't made the move sooner. Welcome to 101 Albert Road, Tokomaru - a captivating 1910 villa where timeless character meets the freedom of country living, all set across an impressive 1.53 hectares (more or less) of beautifully established grounds.
For those needing serious storage, workshop space or room for every toy imaginable, we have multiple sheds on offer, totalling 10+ car garaging - an absolute standout of the property. Whether you're a car enthusiast, tradesperson, collector or simply need space for boats, caravans, trailers and machinery, opportunities like this are exceptionally rare.
Positioned to embrace sweeping rural views in every direction, this is the lifestyle so many dream about. Peaceful, private and surrounded by rolling countryside, yet only a short drive from Palmerston North, you'll enjoy all the benefits of rural living without sacrificing convenience.
Lovingly preserved, the 190m2 (more or less) villa is rich in history and overflowing with character. Soaring high-stud ceilings, beautiful native timber flooring, ornate original detailing and generous proportions create a warmth and elegance that simply can't be replicated in a modern build.
At the heart of the home is a stunning monochrome kitchen, thoughtfully designed with sleek finishes that perfectly complement the villa's timeless appeal. Flowing effortlessly into the open-plan dining and living area, this welcoming hub is centred around a wood burner, creating a cosy atmosphere throughout the cooler months. French doors lead seamlessly onto the expansive wrap-around deck, inviting you to entertain, unwind, or simply soak in the breathtaking rural outlook. A second, separate living room opens onto the rear deck, providing flexibility for growing families or those who simply appreciate having space to spread out.
Offering five generous bedrooms, with three located downstairs and two upstairs, the layout easily accommodates larger families, guests, or those working from home. Two well-appointed bathrooms ensure practicality keeps pace with the home's impressive proportions.
Step outside and the lifestyle truly comes into its own. Beautifully established plantings provide colour, shelter and privacy, while the land has been thoughtfully divided into multiple paddock spaces, offering endless possibilities for horses, livestock, hobby farming or simply giving the kids room to roam and explore.
The property is well equipped for country living with two 25,000-litre water tanks, ensuring practicality matches the incredible lifestyle on offer.
Life in Tokomaru is about more than just owning land - it's about embracing a community, enjoying peaceful mornings with birdsong replacing traffic, watching spectacular sunsets across the paddocks, and giving your family the kind of upbringing that's becoming harder to find. It's the best of rural New Zealand, where life moves at just the right pace.
