Enjoy a rare opportunity to combine the best elements of Manawatu lifestyle. Wake with your family in this charming character villa and lifestyle property, then be in Ashhurst or central Palmerston North in minutes. The sunlight-filled home has the trappings of a spacious country homestead; classical white trimmings, ornate doorways and fireplaces add charm throughout. Yet, modern amenities have been tastefully added over the years, with an open plan kitchen and dining space large enough for the whole family, an impressive bathroom and multiple living areas catering to all ages and stages.

French doors open onto a sun-soaked patio, a verandah and huge swimming pool area. This home is built for summer barbeques, enjoying the quiet rural outlook after work, and for children to play with space and privacy. Your family and your guests can enjoy the thoughtful landscaping, right from the long tree-lined driveway to the large established gardens and carefully curated rose beds. This property also encourages self-sufficient living with four hectares of well-kept grazing land, dotted with fruit and specialty trees, raised vegetable gardens, pigsty, henhouse, haybarn and multiple sheds. The huge detached 4-bay garage is also an asset! Spend your time making the land and villa your own while enjoying the rural outlook and knowing that here, the city is as easy to get to as it is to escape. Whether you are looking for a family sanctuary, a place to become more self-sufficient, or just a change of pace, this home is the complete lifestyle package. You will not have to compromise the peace and privacy of country living with convenience, in this property that feels like home the moment you set foot through the door.
