Aptly named Fern Glen, this charming three-bedroom wood cabin is situated on 4.20HA of land in an absolutely idyllic setting encompassed by native bush (some covenanted). It offers abundant potential for renovation and restoration and presents a rear opportunity for someone with creative flair to transform this unique property back to its former glory.
With an elevated north-facing aspect that maximizes natural light, it captures panoramic views over the established native bush with the rolling countryside in the distance. Large windows invite the bush in, and exposed wooden logs and timber frame accents provide a sense of comfort and warmth throughout. A large, pergola-covered patio and cobbled terrace span the length of the home. Wisteria and grapevines envelop the pergola with the seasons providing constantly changing vistas. Relax and enjoy the tranquillity of the native bush that includes Rimu, Kauri, and Puriri trees complemented by the birdsong of resident Tuis and Wood pigeons.
The kitchen offers plenty of scope for rejuvenation. The expansive open-plan lounge is awash in sunshine and features a fireplace and french doors that open to the patio. There are three bedrooms, including the master which comprises an ensuite. A family bathroom and an office provide further convenience. An annexe located separately from the main dwelling boasts a further two large bedrooms and is a great space for teenagers, extended family, or house guests.
There are two grazable paddocks to cater for sheep, goats, or calf club pets and bush tracks provide an amazing playground for children to explore. There is plenty of scope for the avid gardener to bring the gardens back to life to further enhance this inspiring private sanctuary. There is a double garage and space to store machinery at the top of the driveway.
This property is located in the family friendly Ararimu community and is within a short driving distance of the popular Ararimu School and just a 9km drive to motorway access at Ramarama. Located in a highly desirable location, this is a prime opportunity for renovators and those looking for a "do up' to transform this home into the best house in the best street!
