Oropi country homestead
Gracious lifestyle living in a gorgeous character home with a passive income? Tennis anyone? How about a swim? Home orchard, free range chickens and enough land to live home grown yet still close to town? What a rare and exciting find!
Fall in love with this classic white weatherboard bungalow nestled in the Oropi hills, with expansive rural views over neighboring valleys. Follow the grand driveway lined with soaring Plane trees to a hedge framed turning circle and pathway leading to the front door - so very formal English country but wonderfully NZ at the same time. Wrap around Kwila decks embrace the house fringed with established gardens, while manicured green lawns roll down to an Astroturf tennis court - perfect for civilised afternoons playing tennis. With a superb grass bordered in-ground pool, enjoy a cooling dip in between sets, or relax on loungers soaking up sun while sipping a little something refreshingly sophisticated.
This warm and inviting family home is an entertainer's dream, thoughtfully renovated with a contemporary eye while retaining the original charm of rimu floors, French doors, bay windows and 1930s era appeal. Spacious, sun bathed open plan living flows from a modern farmhouse style kitchen and dining out to a wide deck or through to one of two fabulous lounge spaces. With three large bedrooms, a beautiful master suite, stylish ensuite and walk in robe; an office/fifth bedroom and glamorous family bathroom- there is enough space here for everyone.
But wait, there's more! A separate two bedroom, self-contained studio with wide valley views is ideal for extended family, working from home, or rent it out for supplementary income. Add in a huge ivy covered 'man shed' for storing equipment and toys, a hot water bore, potager garden, fruit trees and the most pampered free range chickens - this property has too many outstanding features to list here.
