Mode de vie rural pratique

Set on a private four-hectare block and accessed via a well-formed driveway through mature parklike grounds, this beautifully maintained home offers an enviable rural lifestyle within a ten-minute drive from Renwick. Ideally designed to cater for family and guests, there is a newly renovated kitchen complete with a butler’s pantry, fit for a chef, a spacious sitting room with gas fire and a choice of dining, in by the kitchen or in the formal dining room enjoying garden and mountain views. There are three generous bedrooms and a family bathroom in one wing while a master, complete with en-suite, enjoys privacy at the other end of the house. There is plenty of storage throughout, a dedicated laundry and an internally accessed and carpeted triple garage. Mature gardens have been cleverly designed to provide shelter and shade, to frame mountain views and to provide spaces for recreation and production. There are cottage borders, raised vegetable gardens, bush walks, numerous specimen trees plus trees for production, including grapefruit, lemons, plum, apple, peach, pine nuts, gingko and chestnuts. A lower terrace featuring a stream boundary has been extensively planted with trees while an upper terrace is well fenced with reticulated water and is ideal for grazing horses and stock. There is a four bay implement shed, ideal for stabling plus a separate 9m x 12m shed, lockable with an electric door and used as workshop and vehicle storage. Popular activities in the region include hiking, cycling, fishing, boating, golf, skiing and tasting wine. This is an opportunity to enjoy a taste of the good life in New Zealand’s sunniest region.
