Property listing ID: 449016
This is the first time on the market in twenty-seven years, by only the second owners. The four bedroom, two bathroom brick and iron homestead was built in 1964 and has been well maintained. Heating is provided by the Masport solid fuel box fire in the lounge. The lounge, dining and kitchen all enjoy the wide views and there is a covered north-facing patio for al fresco dining. Many family functions have been enjoyed in the huge wood panelled rumpus downstairs adjacent to the four vehicle basement garage. The property is well developed as a small rural lifestyle block and is a combination of lawn, paddocks and mature trees. The gardens around the house are beautifully planted and well maintained with many specimen trees, fruit trees and shrubs that attract native and exotic birdlife. The added bonuses are the expansive deck areas and the chicken mesh covered vegetable gardens. You can bring your chickens to the chook run and coop for your own free range eggs. Fencing is a mixture of post & rail and wire & batten. Ample grazing is available in the five paddocks and there are very good sheep yards and well organised shedding. The school bus stops at the gate. This delightful property is situated on the Howick side of Whitford Village and therefore very close to Howick and Botany town centres. Whitford is just 35 minutes (non rush hour) from Auckland City Centre and the Auckland International Airport. There is also an excellent weekday ferry service to the CBD from Pine Harbour and Half Moon Bay as well as services to Waiheke and Rakino islands. The wider Whitford area is a well-known and sought after location. Recreational opportunities abound with white sand beaches and beach reserves along the scenic Pohutukawa Coast while access to the Hauraki Gulf for sailing, fishing and boating is literally on your doorstep with the excellent facilities at Pine Harbour and Half Moon Bay marinas. Golf and restaurant facilities can be enjoyed at both the Formosa International Golf course and the local Whitford Park Golf Club and you can also enjoy numerous recreational trails for pedestrian and equine traffic along the waterfront. Additional equestrian facilities are available at the nearby Whitford Pony Club. Do not delay in viewing this property, as it is unique and will be sought after.
