701 Papaiti Road, Aramoho, Wanganui, Manawatu / Wanganui, 4584, New Zealand
Whanganui has many hidden treasures but this must be one of the best. Overlooking the Whanganui River is Ohorere. This stunning property is set on almost 6,000 sq m (more or less) and offers nothing less than a life transformation to the potential buyer. The homestead features gorgeous native timber throughout and provides for a very comfortable relaxed way of life with its wrap around deck and fabulous views of the river and/or gardens from every window. The generous kitchen is ideal for the entertainer with a chef’s sized oven, plenty of cabinetry and bench space and a walk-in pantry. Open plan kitchen, dining, living and fabulous flow to the outdoors allows you to socialise with family and guests while meals are being prepared. There is a formal lounge that has previously been used as a bedroom for bed and breakfast guests as it can be shut off with the family bathroom. The spacious master bedroom has an en suite and a stunning outlook. There are many out buildings including a lined studio, a second studio above the original barn and covered parking. Meandering pathways around Ohorere lead you to native bush areas, woodlands, bog garden, and the orchard where the chickens roam free. What was a tennis court now provides the perfect space to hold weddings and garden parties or play croquet. Imagine starting your day with a kayak out on the river and ending it with a cold drink just sitting, relaxing and enjoying the stunning outlook with nothing but the birdsong and the sound of a kereru flying above – just perfection!
