Large lifestyle or horticulture options
Located at 127 Raukawa Road, in the Bridge Pa district, this 18.5 hectare orchard offers the convenience of being only 12 minutes drive from the Hastings CBD and Havelock North. Set back from the road, this property is presently leased and planted in apples. Re-development has been undertaken by the present lessee and with predominately Takapau ashy loam on gravel, water consents and permanent irrigation in place, these trees are producing well.
There is a three bay shed plus workshop that offers room to store orchard machinery and if you are a keen equestrian there is a tack shed, pony paddocks and yards.
Size is the key here with scale to continue the lease option for passive income and lifestyle living or there is the potential to redevelop to suit for horticultural endeavours.
On this property is a substantial character weatherboard bungalow, a real family home that comes with its own relaxed vibes! Nothing more spells out “family home” than a lineup of gumboots on the front verandah!
The kitchen, dining and living areas are open-plan and heated by a Jetmaster open fire, such a nice addition come winter. The rimu timber counter top in the kitchen adds a sense of warmth along with the native timber flooring throughout these rooms.
There is an under-bench oven with electric hob, walk-in pantry, double door fridge and French doors opening out onto the large front verandah.
This home has five huge bedrooms, and by huge I mean ample room to even house a piano in one!
There are three bathrooms which includes an ensuite in the master bedroom. Lovely to see a rolled top bath that has been given a splash of colour and pride of place in one of the bathrooms.
Throughout this home are beautiful rimu doors, skirting boards and door frames, they are such a feature and so nice to see they have been retained.
There is a generous-sized office, storage room, large linen closet, and an integral garage which has ample storage and also houses the laundry.
The large covered deck gets all the afternoon sun and is a great spot for a coffee and to watch the children on their ponies.
A ride-on mower is a must as there is plenty of lawn - great for a game of cricket, however with an easy care garden, keeping on top of the outside area will be a breeze!
The house area is well-fenced for pets but put a dog bed on the verandah and I don’t think they will want to go far.
This family home presents as a great upgrade project or could be rented quite comfortably as is.
Here is an opportunity for a change of lifestyle with options that don’t come along readily. Check this property out now! Contact Louise Wake of Colliers Rural for further information or a viewing.
