If you’ve been searching for a home that offers rural tranquillity and modern comfort, this immaculately presented lifestyle property ticks all the boxes.
Located just 13 kilometres from Whakatāne, across the road from the Rangitāiki River, this stunning single-level brick home is set on a flat, sun-drenched 2085m² section (more or less), offering uninterrupted countryside views, river access, and
even a glimpse of Moutohorā Island.
Step inside through a stone-tiled sunroom that sets the tone for the rest of the home – bright, spacious, and welcoming.
The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area is the heart of the home, featuring a large lounge and sleek, modern kitchen with pristine cabinetry, a breakfast bar, and ample bench space.
French doors open out onto a generous entertaining deck, the perfect place to relax or host guests while soaking in the peaceful rural surrounds.
A louvre-covered pergola provides year-round flexibility for outdoor living, no matter the weather.
The home’s thoughtful layout includes two separate bedroom wings for privacy and functionality.
The northern wing houses two bedrooms, including the master suite, complete with a stylish floor-to-ceiling tiled en suite, and French doors to the outdoors.
The southern wing includes three bedrooms and a modern wet shower bathroom. One bedroom is ideal as an office, with its own entrance via the sunroom.
Comfort is assured with double-glazing throughout, a heat pump, and a wood burner to keep you cosy in cooler months.
The property also boasts excellent vehicle storage with an internal-access double garage, an additional separate garage, and a double carport.
An automatic gate and large turnaround area offer convenience and security.
Outside, the established grounds include a thriving orchard with citrus, stone fruit, and feijoas, space for vegetable gardens and chickens, plus a handy outdoor shower – ideal for rinsing off after a paddle on the river or some whitebaiting just across the road.
Conveniently located minutes from Thornton School and the boat ramp, this is your chance to enjoy the best of both worlds – peaceful rural living with easy access to local amenities.
With the vendors on the move, this is a must-see property. Don’t miss the open home this Sunday.
