Adventure is calling us, so we are putting our family home in Ohura on the market! This could be your chance to become a homeowner and escape the madness of the city. This is not just a house, it is a whole new lifestyle, and it has been our sanctuary with its enormous garden, tucked away in a quiet valley.
Despite its reputation Ohura is not stuck in the past and we have all modern conveniences here, including fast internet and NZ post service. If you are handy (building, electrical, plumbing, etc) you will always find work, or you could work from home. Perhaps you’d like to retire and have your own vegetable garden and chickens. Write that novel, create that artwork, make your candles and put up a stall at the local market. Here you will have ample space to be creative and enjoy a different kind of life.
And last but not least, it’s an ideal place to be a prepper and ride out the apocalypse!
It is a solid brick house, with 3 bedrooms, a large living room and native rimu flooring throughout. There is a large room next to the garage, which could be a 4th bedroom, or a hobby/gym room/man cave, she-shed/art studio (or add a kitchenette and get a boarder)!
We have put in storm drainage, so you’re safe during heavy rainfall. We are located on the dry side of the river, so no need to worry about flooding!
The house is situated on a double section, so there is ample space in the garden to put up a pool or trampoline for the kids, or put in a cabin/granny flat.
You won’t find a big house with such a big garden for this price! My favourite thing about this house is that you see greenery from every window in the house!!
We’ve tidied up a lot and made a lot of improvements while we were here, but she still needs some TLC in the kitchen and bathroom. We are currently painting inside, so it will look better than in the current pictures.
Don’t hesitate to ask questions and feel free to make a good offer!
