BUYERS PRICE GUIDE: Mid $1m's Range
Showcasing the undeniable beauty of the Franklin district and the unparalleled lifestyle on offer here, this 52 hectare property (130 acres), currently used for grazing and suitable for sheep and cattle features a constantly evolving garden of approximately two acres, - home to a multitude of exotic plantings, birds, wildlife and fruit and nut trees that provide year round produce plus two large natural ponds, fenced and planted with native trees where wild ducks, grey herons, tui and kereru are breeding. There is covenanted native bushland teeming with wildlife here plus a waterhole for a cool dip on a hot day, meandering fresh water stream and even a cascading waterfall which spills from the adjoining neighbours and feeds one of the main steams that flow through the centre of the property.
Featuring flat to undulating contour with some rolling hill, the sprawling 242 square metre modern dwelling constructed of Macrocarpa cladding with a colorsteel roof occupies an elevated peaceful and private position drenched in superb rural vistas through an expanse of huge windows and concertina doors which open onto the covered deck spanning the entire north side. Natural timber finishes team with smart and practical polished concrete floors in the well-equipped kitchen with stone benchtops, generous storage, butler's pantry and breakfast bar, continuing into open pan dining and the expansive light-filled living area complete with its enveloping couches and cozy, flued, wood-burning wetback fireplace - heating the water efficiently without power. Clever built-in wood storage adds to ease and enjoyment.
Positioned for privacy, the master bedroom features a walk-in robe, spacious ensuite with bath and bi-folds onto the scenic deck and those endless views across verdant bushland. 3 further bedrooms - one currently used as a study, share the large family bathroom. Outdoors, copious shedding includes a wool shed, implement shed with 3 phase power, a loading ramp, 15 fenced paddocks, sheep and cattle yards and 5 dog kennels plus a double lock up garage. This really is the stuff dreams are made of - a peaceful, picturesque property offering myriad farming opportunities complete with a modern super-scenic, mega-comfortable home.
