Tranquillity. That sense of belonging. This character cottage with wrap-around Queenslander style verandah will wrap itself around your heart.

A relocated home, all fully compliant, with cedar cladding and native timber framing, beautiful French doors and heart native timber joinery, capped off with a new colour steel roof.

North facing, the open plan kitchen, living and dining areas open via the French doors to the new wrap-around verandah. The slightly higher stud, large windows of the era and the lofted verandah roof allow all-day sun, and with the new insulation both under floor and ceiling, this is a bright, light and cosy home.

Three double bedrooms, also with large windows and double wardrobes, are serviced by the large family bathroom / combined laundry. There is plenty of storage with three hall cupboards.

The double garage / workshop combined with plenty of off-street parking allow room for the cars, camper and boat.

The vendor has put a lot of time and effort into landscaping the wonderful low-maintenance grounds, including an easy track along the stunning boundary stream. An abundance of fruit trees including tamarillos, Louisa plums, paw paw, olive trees, and seven varieties of bananas will keep the fruit bowl full all year round.

Located just a two minute drive to the shores of Lake Manuwai where a variety of water sports are available, 12kms from cosmopolitan Kerikeri and half that again to the Waipapa shops, this peaceful oasis offers the perfect sub-tropical lifestyle.
