Presenting our lifestyle villa, for the first time on the market.
We relocated our family home here in 1998, and lovingly restored it to above its former condition, culminating in a home restoration award.

Set on approx 2 acres of grounds, it is hidden behind a stand of mature totara trees, surrounded by landscaped gardens, 3 paddocks, and a huge high stud garage/workshop (with mezzanine office/ possible sleep out space).
Bordering on Ohau vineyard west blocks.
This home represents so many possibilities in terms of lifestyle, semi rural living or a home based occupation.

The original 133sqm home was built circa 1910. It features rimu floors and doors, genuine lead light crafted windows, high stud ceilings and light airy rooms. Full on Villa character.

Fully re-piled, re-roofed. re-plumbed, rewired, insulated (floor, ceiling, walls) and heated by a wood burner with wetback, which makes for comfortable modern living. Council supplied water, septic tank.

Surrounded by decks, and opening out onto a private outdoor area, it is sheltered by mature specimen trees and lovely planting. After an enjoyable day in the garden relax in the wood fired cedar hot tub.

The 110 sqm garage/workshop has 3 sets of 'barn doors' opening into a huge 5+m high stud workshop, perfect for cars/woodwork/engineering or your home occupation. Upstairs is a 16sqm mezzanine office/possible sleep out space overlooking the vineyards. 3 phase power, top grade concrete floor, extensive bench space and shelving. An onsite viewing for this is exceptional workshop is recommended. Space outside for parking of multiple cars/boat.caravan.

The paddocks are perfect for a few sheep or bring the pony! A large chicken house, and plastic house for veges as well.
It has many fruit trees - plums, citrus, raspberries, blueberries, apricot, mandarin, avocado, feijoa.
