Seller's Description

First time to the market, in a sought-after area, this beautiful 2-acre property of flat and sheltered land, is a haven for those who love to garden and grow their own food.
If getting away from the city (yet having all the convenience just a 15-20 minutes’ drive away) and being able to provide for yourself and your family is your thing, then this property is for you.

Set well back from the quiet road, the north facing 3-bedroom Versatile home is low maintenance with colorsteel cladding.
An eco wee rad woodburner keeps it very cosy, and a heat-and cool transfer system provides a dry and comfortable home. The carpet has been subjected to many an animal, and needs replacing, but other than that, the home is solid, freshly painted on the inside, and in very good shape.
Solar hot water keeps the electricity bill down.
Exceed flyscreens on most windows and the sliding door keep the flying critters out.

The sizeable terrace is the perfect place to entertain, or just sit with a coffee whilst listening to the birdsong. It would be a great spot for an outdoor kitchen, or spa pool, if you like.
The flower gardens protect the terrace from the westerly wind, and are low maintenance.

The double garage is also a Versatile, and also built in 2006.
The lean-to to the garage is an 8x3mtr insulated workshop on a concrete floor. This sizeable space has electricity and a heater, and can be used for diy, or as an office, or sleepout for the teenager.

The other outbuilding is a 15 sq. m board and batten space, which could easily be an office or sleepout. Also insulated, and a warm and airy space.

The vegetable garden is sizeable and set over 2 levels, with a centre piece of an octagonal herb garden with water feature in the centre. The amount of beds allow for growing your food year-round, or for crop rotation and cover crops. There is a cluster of 4 compost bins.
The garden (and the entire property, for that matter) has been spray free for about 7-8 years.

Behind the vegetable garden is a ‘terrace’ of citrus trees: lemons, oranges, grapefruit, Tahitian lime, blood orange, lemonade etc.

The orchard consists of an array of apple trees, plum trees, pear trees, avocado trees, and tamarillo trees. There are also 3 elders. Beyond the orchard, are a walnut tree, two young macademia’s and 3 young almond trees.

The front half of the property has been planted with native New Zealand trees, bringing in an abundance of bird life. The dawn chorus is impressive, and it is delightful to see the fantails, kereru and tui come so close.
Even with the trees, there still is space in the front ‘paddock’ for a tiny house, housebus or other self contained dwelling of sorts.

The middle ‘paddock’ contains a gravel pad which is ready for a 9x9m pole shed, but can be utilised in many other ways (to put your shipping containers or work vehicles, campervan, etc).
It also contains a fenced off area under the trees, that currently houses our chickens. It is a massive area, where they can scratch and rummage as much as they want.

The back ‘paddock’, the area behind the house and vege garden, is currently being regrassed, and can easily host a few sheep, or another self contained dwelling, or a greenhouse, or berry patch…

The eucalyptus trees near the garage can be felled for firewood, and there are a few more eucalyptus in the chook run.

The house is connected up to rain water via a 25000 ltr tank. The waste water is collected in a septic tank (3500ltr).
There also is a well, which can be used for watering the garden, which is wonderful during the summer months.

The property comes with ride-on lawnmower and 2 chest freezers as well as the firewood – about 7 cube.

Viewing by appointment only please. Just message or email me.

As this is a lifestyle block, it will never be perfectly presented, but it has many, many possibilities for those who love the quiet area and to grow their own food.
