A LIFESTYLE LEGACY

Once upon a time... Nestled within a cherished family estate that has seasoned nearly four decades of memories, this beloved lifestyle property offers a tapestry of rich history and unexplored potential.

Built in the 1960’s, the weatherboard home is a treasure trove of craftsmanship featuring polished matai floors and macrocarpa wood panelling that evoke a quintessential country atmosphere.

Welcomed through a formal entry, the layout unfolds into a separate lounge, complete with a Kent-styled fireplace with a classic brick backdrop and windows that frame expansive views of the once-meticulous gardens. The open-plan kitchen and dining area is equipped with modern appliances set against traditional wooden cabinetry, blending old-world charm with contemporary convenience.

This home allocates its accommodation among three bedrooms, with the spacious master enjoying a relaxing garden outlook. Functionality continues with a separate bathroom featuring a shower and bath, while a laundry area also gives way to a dedicated toilet.

Originally a gardener’s masterpiece, the expansive grounds once showcased meandering paths lined with volcanic rock with abundant fruit and nut trees. Although it requires some restoration, it is simply waiting for the right hands to reinstate its former beauty.

Accompanying the main house is a versatile ensemble of outbuildings, including a potting shed, a chook shed, and a woodshed. A spacious freestanding double garage with ample workshop space as a bonus, alongside a carport and an enclosed carport extension for extra space adds to the estate’s practical appeal.

Located only minutes from Matarau School, this home is not just a residence but a legacy awaiting new custodians to breathe life into its vast potential.
