Morning coffee on the deck, birds in the garden and open country beyond set the pace at 2318A Highway 50. Set on just under a hectare, this Ongaonga lifestyle property combines a three-bedroom, 110m² home, established grounds and an impressive former pack house spanning over 70m².

Originally relocated to the property, the home has been transformed during the current owners’ 14 years here. It has been reclad and reroofed, connected to gas hot water and updated with new flooring. A beautiful character stove and freestanding wood burner add warmth and personality.

The generous kitchen and dining area forms the social heart of the home, with a central island, long benches and plenty of cabinetry. It flows into the living area, where broad windows and doors draw in natural light and garden views.

There are three bedrooms, including an especially spacious room and another with doors opening outside. The bathroom includes a shower over the bath and vanity, with a separate toilet nearby.

Outside, the owners have taken meaningful steps towards a more self-sufficient lifestyle. An established food forest provides a plethora of fruit, berries and vegetables, while mature trees, productive gardens and lawns create a setting that is both beautiful and useful. Thick native planting along the roadside offers privacy and helps soften road noise, while the large deck is perfect for outdoor dining and relaxed evenings.

A standout feature is the former pack house. At over 70m², it now provides substantial garaging, an additional toilet and excellent space for vehicles, tools, storage, hobbies or hands-on projects. A further outbuilding and flat, usable land add even more possibilities.

Ongaonga offers the charm of village life, with the school, general store and historic village nearby. Waipawa and Waipukurau are also within easy reach.

If you’re searching for space, serious shedding and an established lifestyle property where much of the hard work has already been done, get in touch to arrange your viewing.
