A slower pace comes naturally at this lovingly cared-for three-bedroom Raetihi home, where a 140m² single-level layout sits within a generous 1201m² section. Considerable upgrades have already been completed, including a new roof, new wiring, double-glazed aluminium windows and relined internal walls, creating a home that balances established character with practical improvements.

The living spaces feel warm and settled, with generous glazing drawing in natural light and a mountain outlook adding another layer to the setting. A Pyroclassic woodburner provides an economical source of warmth, while the updated Gunzzini kitchen gives the heart of the home a fresh, functional feel for everyday meals and easy entertaining. For additional comfort the home also has a heatpump for both heating in winter or cooling in the warm summer months.

Three bedrooms extend from the central hallway, offering comfortable accommodation and flexibility for family life, guests or working from home. The bathroom has been designed as a wet room, adding everyday practicality, while the separate laundry keeps household routines neatly contained.

Outside, the 1201m² grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped and offer plenty to enjoy through the seasons. Fruit trees, established gardens, a tunnel-style greenhouse, raised beds and outdoor sheds create room for growing, pottering and storing the tools that go with it, while the deck provides a natural place to pause and take in the surrounding outlook.

Set on Mt View Street, this is a well-kept Raetihi home where many of the bigger updates have already been taken care of.
