Description
Offered for sale for the first time in over 20 years, this spacious residence sits on a truly unique property, with one of the oldest groves of exotic trees in the country gracing its' grounds. Planted in the time of Governor Grey (and reputed to have been visited by him), the grove has been called a 'Pure botanical treasure' by Graeme Platt, a legendary NZ plantsman. The trees include several enormous Kauri, Bunya and Norfolk Island Pine, Camphor Laurel and Magnolia and have been augmented with glorious gardens planted over the past two decades.
Well designed and constructed of brick and cedar, the big family home sprawls over 290sqm, with vaulted timber sarked ceilings in the spacious lounge, formal dining room and in the master bedroom, which also boasts an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. A spa bath in the main bathroom will keep the occupants of the other three big bedrooms happy and no need to worry about the water, as a high quality, large volume water bore supplies the house and the stock.
Designed for the sun, with a lovely conservatory breakfast room off the lounge; fully insulated, with solar heating for the hot water supply and underfloor heating; this home will be low cost to keep toasty warm. The family and guests will appreciate the tiled floor family room/entertainment room that adjoins a massive deck; perfect for summer parties! They'll be kept well fed from the big farm-style modern kitchen on the other side of the deck.
The huge six bay shed with mezzanine and 3 phase power will suit either a busy work-from-home tradesperson or the more genteel lifestyle of horse riding! Actually animal lovers will love this property, there are chook sheds and aviaries, ponds and feeders, shelters and storage sheds dotted all over the place; just waiting for a new menagerie to take residence. Coupled with the greenhouses, popular roadside stall, mature fruit orchard and veggie gardens, this is a self-sufficiency dream come true.
