A Strategic Holding in Drury’s Growth Corridor
Set across an impressive 3.2491 hectares, this exceptional private lifestyle estate at 64 Gatland Road, Opaheke, Drury reflects more than four decades of devoted ownership, thoughtful improvement, and genuine pride.
At its heart is a beautifully maintained 310m² main residence, constructed by respected local builder Bob Wilmshurst, offering a timeless sense of solidity, comfort, and longevity. The home comprises five generous bedrooms, including a master suite with ensuite and walk in wardrobe, supported by a full family bathroom, along with a dedicated office and additional storage room. Multiple formal and informal living spaces are anchored by a superbly appointed kitchen, while elevated outlooks extend across the land and towards Opaheke Park, enhancing the home’s sense of space and connection to its surroundings.
Every element of the property has been meticulously cared for. Recent upgrades include newly laid front decking, and modern alarm system. A well formed concrete driveway provides an attractive, durable approach to the home, ensuring the property is presented in excellent condition and ready for its next chapter.
The land is equally impressive and highly functional. Fully fenced into four well drained paddocks, the property is ideally suited to grazing or hobby farming and is supported by quality sheep yards, underscoring its practicality for rural pursuits.
Complementing the main residence is a 100m² insulated and lined secondary dwelling, offering two bedrooms, open plan living, a separate toilet, heat pump, dishwasher, ideal for extended family, guest accommodation, a home office or workshop.
Established gardens and fruit trees, all planted by the current owners, frame the home beautifully, providing privacy, maturity, and seasonal colour. Additional outbuildings, including a garden shed and wood shed, along with generous parking areas, enhance everyday practicality.
With town water supply, only a few minutes to the new Drury train station, a supportive rural community, and the long term advantage of Future Urban zoning within Drury’s evolving growth corridor, this is a rare opportunity offering lifestyle, functionality, legacy, and future potential in equal measure.
