A Grand Homestead Steeped in History

Coming to the open market for the first time, this remarkable homestead has been a cherished family property since the late 1800s, passed down through generations. What began as a modest colonial cottage saw continual expansion, with each generation adding their own chapter to its story. In the early 1900s, it transformed into the grand homestead we see today, and in the early 2000s, a major renovation and extension carefully modernised the home while preserving its timeless character.

Located just outside the charming township of Maraekakaho, this exceptional 13 ha (more or less) lifestyle property offers endless possibilities. Whether you're looking for space, functionality, or potential, this property delivers with two dwellings, a large workshop, and productive farmland.

The main homestead seamlessly blends classic charm with modern comforts. From the moment you step into the wood-panelled foyer, the high ceilings and inviting atmosphere set the tone. The spacious lounge features a stunning bay window, flooding the space with natural light and providing lovely views over the property to the neighbouring vineyard, which offers a seasonally changing outlook. The modern open-plan kitchen and dining area boast polished floorboards and a cosy wood burner - creating a warm and welcoming hub for the family to enjoy. Dual decks on either side of the home ensure sun-soaked outdoor living throughout the day.

With four generous double bedrooms plus a separate office, there's ample space for family and guests. A well-appointed family bathroom with a tiled shower and separate WC adds convenience, while the large laundry room - complete with a shower and additional WC, doubles as a practical mudroom, a true asset for lifestyle living. A large double garage with workshop space next to the main house provides excellent storage and workspace options.

Adding further versatility, the three-bedroom workers' cottage is perfect for extended family, rental income, Airbnb, or farm staff - keep it as is or enhance it to maximise your return. Meanwhile, a substantial three-bay workshop with extra height and depth is ideal for contractors or those needing extensive storage.

The 13 ha (more or less) of land is primarily planted in lucerne, offering a valuable and productive crop for farming.

Just a short drive from Maraekakaho's local amenities, wineries, and outdoor activities, 541 Kereru Road presents a rare opportunity to own a truly special piece of history. Whether you're seeking a spacious family retreat, a functional rural hub, or an investment opportunity, this property is not to be missed.
