About this property
Enriched by many hands for over a century, this truly extraordinary property has become a rural character home and oasis, exquisite and resplendent, ready for new caretakers to love.A lush roadside tree boundary has been established over the decades to create a serene rural sanctuary where Rimu, Kauri and Totara bring abundant birdlife. A tropical garden with amazing specimens flank a private gully. There are sumptuous garden areas and expansive lawns to enjoy. Sit in the spa, a million miles away from everyone and everything, just the sounds of nature and a glass of your favourite tipple to take in the night sky.
Many generations have enjoyed these grounds, from easter egg hunts to family picnics and barbeques. 'Las Vacas' a wee spot behind the garage and workshop faces the morning sun, the best spot to take in a coffee. The care and attention to this property by the current owners is evident where close to fifty years of love and mahi certainly show.
A 72sqm barn/shed and expansive grounds along with two fenced paddocks which have been home to calves and sheep in the past. Plenty of space to further utilise or simply enjoy over three acres of fenced rural surrounds.
The extraordinary country character home has a rich history, the current owners originally moved in on a handshake, splitting off the home and a smaller rural parcel from a large working farm. It has been lovingly kept and improved upon over the years. Macrocarpa milled from the property itself has been used to build a living and dining space adjacent to the country kitchen. Four spacious bedrooms, main bathroom with separate W/C and a second bathroom for guests, an additional office space, and 'formal' dining area - all have windows framing idyllic garden vistas. The attic is tall enough to store many treasures and the surrounding deck the epitome of country - complete with draping wisteria.
Te Horo is an inclusive rural community, and this home is a short walk or bike ride to the excellent local school and community events at the hall. Vegetable plots have been cultivated and are fertile, with summer veggies planted for you to enjoy and expand upon. There's an asparagus bed and many fruiting trees including berries, citrus and some kiwi classics. Soil here is fertile and rich, with four units of Hautere Water Scheme at your disposal - water is not an issue.
Rural properties that are so well developed and cultivated and of a more manageable middling size are a rare jewel in Te Horo. This remarkable home and property is ready for new owners to enjoy and inherit a legacy.
A short drive to the expressway on/off ramp and you're in Wellington in under an hour.
