Discoverin­g a delightful estate in Taupaki

-

With the owners keen to sell their beloved family estate, here’s a rare opportunit­y to snap up an entry level lifestyle block at a bargain.

Surrounded by beautiful rolling farmland in a stunning northwest setting, our featured property is an outstandin­g opportunit­y to finally realise your dreams of securing an entry-level lifestyle block without breaking the bank. Close to the Northwest Centre and ensconced in wine country, it is an expansive family estate with a versatile four-bedroom home at its heart.

Comprising a mix of flat and gently contoured land, the property is pretty as a picture, with landscaped private grounds, in-ground pool and plenty of space for the kids to play. Added bonuses include a very productive plum orchard and several greenhouse­s for your family to create their very own free-range lifestyle in this popular location. There is some basic work required on the property, but the rewards will more than offset the efforts.

The beauty of the location is that it offers privacy and seclusion, but it is not so remote as to feel isolated. “It is close to shopping areas, schools, motorways and friendly neighbours just where you need them,” says owner Rolly, who has maintained the place well, mostly on his own.

With a floor area of an ample 339 square metres across three split levels, the house is perfect for large or extended families, providing multiple living options and individual spaces for everyone.

The hub of the home is an open-plan living, kitchen and dining, four spacious bedrooms, dual lounges (one set up as a media room), office and an expansive wraparound veranda to soak up your country vistas. The peace and tranquilli­ty that envelopes you as you gaze at your landscaped grounds and orchards from the elevation of the deck are priceless.

Ample off-street parking, plenty of room for the boat, a large internal access garage with adjoining workshop and many storage options means this home will never leave you cramped for space. It’s a feeling that liberates you.

An upgraded water treatment system with a mix of automatic and manual irrigation modes are in place.

So if you and your family would like to say goodbye to the big city and start over in a location where every day is different, this one of a kind opportunit­y is perfectly timed for Christmas. Rolly and his family are keen to move on, which means potential buyers can land themselves an excellent bargain.
