Set yourself up for an idyllic country life

Here’s your golden opportunity to establish yourself rurally and embrace a more tranquil, selfsufficient lifestyle.

If you’ve been looking for the chance to bring your grand vision to life, you’ll love this oneof-a-kind Manakau offering.

The two-bedroom home comes with great bones and the potential for further development – and at the price point of $850,000, it’s an excellent entrylevel lifestyle opportunity.

Only a few minutes from State Highway 1, this peaceful property feels like it’s miles away from everything.

Fully fenced and gated, it presents a lovely and affordable lifestyle within an easy commute to the city.

The green-thumbed will enjoy the established gardens, including a range of mature specimen trees, fruit trees and an impressive vegetable garden.

The back paddock slopes down towards the stream below, offering flat land with the potential to develop further, or run a few sheep.

At the heart of the solid brick home is a large open-plan kitchen and living area flowing through to a separate dining area.

There are two double bedrooms, the master with its own ensuite, plus a second family bathroom.

An internal-access double garage with laundry completes the picture.

A woodburner with wetback and brand-new hot water cylinder add to your comfort.

Owners Bev and Warren were initially drawn to the lovely, secluded location, the tranquility, and the scenic outlook over the surrounding ranges.

In their six years here they have lovingly developed the gardens and vegetable patch, planting a variety of fruit trees.

‘‘The generously-sized twobedroom home has worked well for us with its separate dining area, open-plan living and kitchen area offering plenty of room for family and friends to gather,’’ Bev says.

‘‘We love the views over the ranges to the south east, and gardens from the north west. We’ve loved pottering in the garden, keeping a couple of sheep in the back paddock, growing a range of fruit and vegetables, plus making honey with our beehives.’’

‘‘We’re on a quiet street, with very little traffic,’’ Warren says.

‘‘It’s an easy commute to

Levin or to get onto the expressway to Wellington. It’s an ideal property for couples and small families looking for an affordable lifestyle.’’

With the owners moving to a

retirement village, you now have the opportunity to make your lifestyle dreams come true.
