Ein Refugium Inmitten Der Natur

For over three decades, this remarkable property has been a cherished escape from the pace of city life. A place to retreat, reconnect with nature and enjoy the simple pleasures of country living. Set amongst 18.3 Ha (more or less) of beautiful native bush, this is a property rich in character, privacy and natural beauty, offering a lifestyle that feels a world away from the everyday.

Nestled within its peaceful surroundings, the substantial four-bedroom character home built in 1985 is warm, welcoming and wonderfully authentic. Native timber features throughout, including a beautiful Rimu kitchen, while the open-plan country-style kitchen, dining and living areas create a relaxed heart to the home. Stainless steel benchtops, original feature appliances and interconnected formal living spaces add to its timeless charm.

Four generous double bedrooms provide excellent accommodation, including a master with en-suite, complemented by additional bathrooms on both levels. Practical features include a separate laundry and mudroom, extensive storage, partial double glazing, a Pyroclassic wood burner with wetback, and an internal-access double carport with adjoining workshop.

Adding another dimension is a charming, standalone self-contained cottage, tucked away on the lower level. Complete with open-plan living, a mezzanine, kitchenette, bathroom and its own Pyroclassic wood burner, this delightful retreat offers flexibility for guests, extended family or simply a quiet space to escape.

Beyond the home, an established driveway winds through the property, while two grazing paddocks at the entrance provide a touch of rural versatility. Towering native trees, abundant birdlife and sweeping valley view’s stretching towards the lake create an extraordinary natural setting, where the soundtrack is birdsong and the changing seasons provide an ever-evolving backdrop.

Held and enjoyed by the same owners for more than 30 years, this is far more than a home. It’s a treasured sanctuary, a place of memories, adventure and tranquillity, now ready for its next chapter.

For those seeking character, seclusion and a genuine connection with nature, this is an opportunity to discover something truly special.
