Raglan - 5 acre compact farmlet

Description

It is rare to find a compact farmlet with as much on offer as 397 Ruapuke Road.

For starters, the modern 2-bedroom home lies well for the morning sun and is tucked away from the prevailing westerly wind. The home is warm with double-glazed joinery throughout, a wood burner is on-hand to heat the spacious open plan Lounge, Dining and Kitchen quickly and the rest of the home with ease. The home is in tip top condition with plenty of internal storage, a separate laundry and 2 toilets. All of this comes complete with a garage/ shed/ workshop that could easily house the boat and other 'stuff' that often comes along for the ride.

The land is 2.09 hectares (5 acres) in size and separated into 7 paddocks, all well fenced and watered. A stony stream feeding from Mt Karioi meanders through a small stand of native trees down through your very own valley, the kind of valley where the kids are easily distracted away from modern screens with discoveries aplenty to be had for growing imaginations. Someone once tinkered around with a water wheel and recently a bath complete with timber fired water heater has been solidly constructed adjacent the stream: what a place to soak your bones under the stars and moon! There is a solid old concrete block shed that, has until recently, been used as a tack room for a pony.

Ruapuke Beach is around a few corners to the west whilst the ever-popular Te Mata school is just 4km away.
