FEW & FAR BETWEEN

The South Wairarapa has seen very few genuine lifestyle blocks available to purchasers over the last few years however LJ Hooker Featherston are privileged to bring to the market this versatile 8.1580 ha block just south of Featherston which should appeal to a variety of buyers.

Hidden down the drive you will find an immaculately presented 1960’s style brick/plaster home with a single internal access garage, separate double garage/workshop, swimming pool and easy care garden.

Located approximately 4 km south of Featherston the land is subdivided into 6 paddocks which is supported by a small set of sheep yards, hayshed & pump shed. Three of the larger paddocks, about 15 acres, are leased to a neighbour for grazing which could continue if required. The owners also run a small flock of sheep which are available to intending purchasers to start their new farming venture. Featuring its own bore water for both farm and residential use, the owners assure me it is the best water they have tasted and is a reliable all year round supply.

The 4 bedroom home has been tastefully decorated and modernised to give intending purchasers the choice of a comfortable family home or country escape for a city person still wanting to commute to work. The internal access garage leads to either the farm style kitchen with wooden features and dining or the back door entrance to the second bathroom and laundry. A smaller family room / snug from the kitchen opens out into the larger formal lounge which includes the main heating source log fire. A supporting night store heater in the hall leads to the 2 main bedrooms featuring in built wardrobes and dressers, the third bedroom / office, separate bathroom, toilet and shower. There is also a separate forth bedroom.

Surrounded by a low maintenance garden the house section is well sheltered from both the dry north westerly winds and the colder southerlies by planted shelter belts as well as numerous totara trees which were part of the original bush cover in the area.

Primary schooling is available at either Featherston or South Featherston and there is a choice of secondary schooling with buses to Kuranui College in Greytown or other schools in Masterton.

For those purchasers wanting to extend their farming skills there are plenty of calves available from local dairy farms and there is a weekly stock sale held at Clareville just north of Carterton for other stock purchases and trading.
