BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY HOME ON 5 HA WITH BARN
PRIVATE & TRANQUIL LOCATION
In the heart of Karaka and oriented to embrace picturesque rural views, this well designed north facing four bedroom country home (brick with plaster finish) is a delightful balance of relaxed and elegant living on 5 ha of land.

Maximising the unique serenity of the location, French doors open up both sides of the open-plan kitchen and family room for a fuss-free indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Step out to either a sheltered walled patio with outdoor fireplace or out to a sun-soaked patio with north-facing views - both ideal spaces for entertaining with family and friends. A second north-facing lounge with dining offers the cosy ambiance of an open fire, and clever design positions a charming library nook (or office) on the other side of the fire.
A wide hallway with polished concrete floors leads past a generous bathroom and laundry, and three double bedrooms. The light-filled master suite is privately located at the end of the house with a walk-in-robe, spacious en-suite and doors leading out to the patio, and the fourth bedroom with ensuite is closer to the living areas.
Established gardens with clipped hedging create gently defined outdoor spaces in which to wander, including a mature orchard with tempting seasonal fruit. Nearby is a separate studio with a bathroom and deck and offers options for short term rental income, working from home, or a teenage retreat.
Lifestyle farming is made easy with five flat to gently contoured paddocks with a picturesque pond, along with specimen trees dotted around the property, there is a loading ramp and stock yards and ample scope to develop equestrian interests. A Kiwished barn with plenty of space for ...
