Down a quiet country road with tall trees down the driveway and a free flowing stream is this privately positioned colourful country family home in a fabulous country setting. Modern open plan kitchen and living areas expand out to total private under cover, cobble stoned, barbecue-entertaining area which is surrounded by mature gardens. This four double bedroom home has cedar French doors, which open out to a manicured lawn and garden. Three of the bedrooms have walk-in wardrobes and an ensuite. There is a separate lounge room, which has an open fire, and a Kent style fire is located in the dining family area. This home has a few different features with glass panels throughout for extra natural light. This property has good potential to be used as a home stay business, which was originally planned. Parking your vehicles is not a problem with the internal triple car garaging and the circular tar seal driveway. The 14.9 acres that is a well-sheltered block with pines is divided into five well-fenced paddocks, suitable for cattle or horses. There is a separate entrance off the main driveway to a 12x9 storage / workshop with a concrete floor and 3 phase power. Attached is a 10x4 lean-to for the boat and trailer, with plenty of extra parking for a motor home vehicle. The extra income with 300 passion fruit vines that are 4 years old is under plastic cover for weather protection. The owners have obtained a license for fresh water crayfish [Koura) in five man made ponds, which are now functioning. With the raising & breeding of Koura stock at a high level of caring, there is potential here for further development. The water supply is under ground bore, which has a commercial permit for Koura. The Mauku stream is used for stock on the remaining 10 flat acres. This property is on the market as the owner is retiring and keen to move on.
