Whether you're seeking a lovely lifestyle for your family or have dreamed of living in the country, this gorgeous home possesses the location, space and appointments to make those dreams a reality. Surrounded by mature trees and suffused in pastoral peace and birdsong, this 2.1439-ha, lifestyle property nestles on the edge of the Waimea Inlet and is a haven for those valuing natural seclusion while retaining close-to-town convenience. Contained within the 228m2 footprint are 4 double bedrooms including a master with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. A large additional room has a heat pump and could easily be used as another bedroom, office, gym or teen hangout. Both bathrooms offer under-floor heating and are elegantly appointed with tasteful fittings and durable finishes. The home has been fully renovated with updated bathrooms, tasteful decor, double-glazing and solar water heating. The well-appointed kitchen can deal with formal parties or casual family dining and comes replete with a Falcon Classic 110 range with gas hobs, quality benchtops and a dishwasher. A private covered courtyard provides a sheltered spot for entertaining. A log fire in the spacious living room offers an ambient environment for more intimate get-togethers. Drenched in Tasman sunshine, the gardener and those aspiring to self-sufficiency will love an orchard packed with fruit trees (almonds, citrus, plums, peaches among them) and raised vegetable beds. A chicken run keeps the larder full of eggs and there is room to graze a pony or two. The property encompasses a native wetland with ponds and streams burgeoning with native and exotic plantings. Native birds, ducks and geese are frequent visitors and the location is amazing, surrounded by friendly neighbours with the Playhouse Cafe and Theatre Restaurant just up the road. Come and see this very special property.
