With beautiful views across the valley, this charming, renovated well-maintained home offers the best of rural living without feeling too far from everything you need.

North/North-West facing and wonderfully connected to the outdoors, the home offers three bedrooms and two living areas, giving you the flexibility to make the spaces work for your lifestyle. The second living area could easily become a home office, spare bedroom, playroom for the kids, or simply a second space to relax and unwind.

Open-plan living and excellent indoor-outdoor flow make entertaining easy, with the rural outlook providing a beautiful backdrop as the seasons change.

Outside, three paddocks provide plenty of space to spread out, with room for the kids to roam, a couple of beefies, sheep, or for riding the pony. Or simply enjoy the freedom and space that comes with having a little more land around you.

For those needing plenty of space for vehicles, hobbies, storage or pets, the property offers excellent shedding, including a four-bay shed, a separate carport with space for a caravan, and two spacious double garages.

Peaceful and private, the gardens are tidy and easy-care, leaving more time to enjoy the setting rather than maintain it.
Our vendors have called this home for more than 20 years, raising their family here and making the most of the space and lifestyle it provides. With the children now grown, they feel the time is right to hand it on to its next owners.

Just a short drive from Cambridge and within easy reach of Lake Karāpiro, this charming rural property offers the space to breathe and enjoy a relaxed lifestyle, while still being conveniently close to town.
