You know those properties you see a sold sticker on and think, I would have paid that?
Don’t let this be one of them.
Set across 9.74 hectares (more or less) of productive volcanic land in Pakaraka, there is a lot here; a character-filled home, serious shedding, 16 paddocks, a reliable spring-fed water supply and enough land to actually do something with.
The house has plenty of character too, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, good privacy and lovely rural views, all tucked into established trees and gardens. There’s also a separate self-contained one-bedroom unit, which gives you a few more options depending on who or what you need the extra space for, family, guests, teenagers or potentially some income.
And then there’s the shed.
At 24m x 12m, with a concrete floor, large concrete apron out front, power and six roller doors, it is the sort of shed that gives you plenty of options, machinery, vehicles, workshop, storage, a home-based business, or simply somewhere for all the stuff that never seems to fit anywhere else.
Outside, the volcanic soils and 16 paddocks make this much more than a house with a bit of land around it. Graze stock, run horses, grow something, or simply enjoy having some proper breathing room.
But here’s the important bit.
The owners have made the decision to move on to a larger farm, so they are genuinely motivated to get this one sold.
No one can say exactly where the auction will land, but the owners are realistic.
So don’t dismiss it because you’ve already made up your mind about what a property like this must be worth.
Come and have a look.
Do your homework.
Decide what it’s worth to you.
Because this could very easily be one of those properties that sells and leaves a few people saying:
“I should have had a go.”
