A LIFESTYLE TO SAVOUR

If you're searching for a beautifully restored home in a secluded location yet close to city convenience, your wish has been granted. Positioned on a superb 4.17 hectare lifestyle block, this villa possesses character, charm, and a contemporary makeover.

Nestled down a long driveway, you'll pass a belt of trees and an orchard on your way to the welcoming entrance with a fitting pergola, where you'll immediately appreciate the original details of this architectural style. Perhaps the most appealing of these is the wrap-around verandah, allowing you to follow the sun as you relax in this haven.

The current owner has poured her heart and considerable skills into extensively renovating this wonderful high-ceiling home, while keeping to the essence of its character and ensuring that modern living is catered to, including an open plan layout, kitchen pantry and revolving cupboard shelves. The master bedroom is definitely worthy of its title, at a generous 6m long, accompanied by a dressing room.

This compelling home is accompanied by a complementary one-bedroom sleep out with three sets of French doors and outlook to the stream. And if you're keen for a slice of the 'good life, there are plots for potential plantings and pasture for additional income, plus 140m2 of sheds. While beyond the house, nature meanders at her best in the gentle waters of the Mangaoraka Stream.

Photos and words can only tell half a story. To know all the chapters, you need to visit this home yourself.
