With fabulous separation of spaces inside, and what is without a doubt the best 'outdoor playground' we've ever seen, your family could be living a resort lifestyle on your very own one hectare (10,000m2 more or less) lifestyle block, right here in Taupiri!

The home was built in the 1940s and has had numerous additions over the years, with the 199m2 footprint now boasting four bedrooms, a study, two lounges and a separate dining room. It has a delightfully quirky style, and if it might seem at times to be unsure whether it is art deco, 70s retro or Mediterranean, one thing is for certain - it provides space for all the family, and then some!

With two lounges you can put the children in one, while you entertain at the other; one of the lounges is more formal, and the other is a warm and cosy room with a fireplace and timeless wood-paneled walls.

The living areas all flow to expansive, partially covered decking that runs the length of the house, or the other side goes to the pool and patio area. All of these outdoor living spaces have stunning rural views. (Note the pool is being marketed as-is-where-is, and needs some maintenance/tlc to be brought up to standard).

On a practical level, the property is fully fenced, has a separate laundry and separate double garaging.

Finally, we've saved the best for last - this house comes with its own tennis court! What better way to get to know the neighbours than by inviting them over for a friendly match and firing up the barbie.

Loved and looked after by its current owners for the past 15 years, if it's lifestyle you're after for your growing family, look no further - you've found it here.

Under alert level 2, you will need to sign/scan in, sanitise hands on entry & exit, wear a face mask and keep 2m distance from others. If you're from out of the district I can also give you a virtual viewing via Facetime.
