Country retreat

If you desire a better lifestyle, love living in the country and want a rural feeling then this ideal compact lifestyle property could be for you. Here you have an affordable option complete with all the benefits of living on the beautiful Taieri Plain.

Yes, the climate is better on the Taieri - and the sheltered, private and mature garden setting here is just magical. Numerous native tree plantings are on site including an old Kauri, fruit trees include apple, walnut, feijoa, peach and olive. The birdlife is stunning with Kereru, Tui, Bellbird and Rosellas, amongst others. A sea of daffodils will greet you in the Spring.

This 4,047sqm (approx. an acre) is fully deer fenced and there are kennels, a sleep-out, sheds, a domed glasshouse and a spa pool to unwind at the end of the day. Self-sustaining services include a filtered rain water storage and septic system.

The character-filled brick residence originally housed the principal of the North Taieri Primary School. Built in 1929, an era where homes were made to last, this much loved home has undergone various improvements, including a 70s extension that thoughtfully added another living space, with its split level, wood burner and view out onto the garden. A traditional layout provides a central hallway leading to three bedrooms, modern family bathroom and separate toilet, a living room (could be used as a 4th bedroom) with adjoining sunroom, dining and 2nd living connecting to the kitchen and separate laundry.

Another feature is the huge attic. Apparently in the past there was a staircase up to this. This may offer the enterprising new owner the option of going upstairs.

This property is perfect for families or those who work from home, with plenty of space for work, entertaining, relaxation and rest.

Situated minutes from Mosgiel, this presents an ideal location for those wanting to enjoy rural life within easy reach of Mosgiel and Dunedin City.
