A versatile lifestyle holding combining comfortable living, equine facilities and substantial shedding — an appealing opportunity for the astute purchaser seeking space, utility and possible future potential. The main dwelling is a single level 1920s villa of approx. 119sqm (more or less), sympathetically remodelled over time and constructed with timber framing, painted weatherboards, single glazed timber windows and corrugated iron roofing. Inside are three bedrooms (master with ensuite), a family bathroom, open plan kitchen/dining/lounge, a separate formal lounge and an enclosed laundry. Heating is via a wood burner with wetback plus heat pump. Water supply to the home is by roof catchment into two concrete holding tanks along with wastewater via a septic system and dispersal field.

Further improvements include a sleepout (unconsented). The original shearing shed is utilised as a 200sqm (more or less) implement shed that also offers stabling, tack room, vehicle and trailer storage, with the additional benefit of a 3 phase power supply. Adjacent are stock yards and a covered float/truck stand (unconsented). A well formed 60m by 30m (more or less) dressage arena adds genuine equine appeal.

Set on Kimber Road, a quiet no exit country lane serving a small number of lifestyle properties, the property is situated at the top of the Bombay Hills, approximately 6.5km from the Bombay motorway off-ramp. Located within the Auckland region and bordering the Waikato boundary, it offers a well-positioned rural lifestyle setting. The land immediately surrounding the villa is mostly level, with the balance contoured from rolling to inclined. Eight generous paddocks provide excellent grazing, some with tree shelter and all with stock water. A substantial pond and natural watercourse enhance the setting and may offer scope to explore planting or future title options, subject to survey investigation and council requirements. Fencing is a mix of older and newer wire and batten and is generally in good order.

A property with scale, versatility and upside — well suited to buyers seeking a practical lifestyle base with equine capability and room to add value.
