Calling Artisans & Craftspeople
A unique and intriguing opportunity with more to offer than initially meets the eye. The property has a charming 1940s farmhouse with 60s and 80s permitted additions spanning 119 sqm and sits on a generous 2.0110 hectares of land, complete with grazing and a serene reservoir pond. Harbour views complete the vista. This three-bedroom home, featuring a study/office, one bathroom, and a wood burner in the living areas, has previously generated a healthy rental income.
Home for the owners has been the former garage converted into habitable accommodation that stands adjacent to the main house, showcasing artisan craftsmanship and thoughtful design. This unique building features a striking scorched board and batten exterior, reminiscent of traditional Japanese aesthetics. The interior has a compact open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area, anchored by a Scandi wood-burning stove/oven that provides warmth and culinary functionality. The sleeping quarters comprise a master bedroom and a cleverly designed child's bedroom, incorporating a bunk bed, a practical work desk, and a special child-only nook. A functional bathroom, airing cupboard, and laundry complete the interior amenities. This shed/house extends to a spacious enclosed verandah room with timber decking, offering versatile living space ideal for relaxation, yoga, creative pursuits, or a supersized lounge.
Further enhancing the property's appeal are two original corrugated iron farm sheds, thoughtfully converted into a barn/workshop space equipped with 3-phase power. The repurposed painted concrete flooring provides a durable and level surface suitable for precision machinery, while the timber cabinetry offers ample storage. Cleverly incorporated is a light-filled studio with a mezzanine level daybed loft, adding another dimension to the overall space.
The property's infrastructure includes two water tanks, ensuring a reliable water supply, and septic system with a new disposal field. The leased solar power plant complements mains power, promoting sustainable living and real cost savings. The terraced grounds extend towards the pasture, creating a picturesque setting. A tennis court and repurposed tennis club rooms, now transformed into a spacious games room with wood flooring, and wood paneling providing opportunities for recreation and leisure. With harbour access nearby, a spot of fishing or floundering will no doubt be on the leisure agenda.
The craftsmanship evident in the converted spaces is undeniable. This property presents an ideal opportunity for a buyer who values the craftsman workshop space, and potential rental income. Do you seek tranquility in a peaceful, dark sky location, while still maintaining convenient access to Auckland (State Highway 1 being a 15-minute drive away)? Looking for something different? Call us!
