222 Mackenzie Road, Kahuranaki, Hastings

Set within the rolling countryside of the Maraetotara Valley, this 7.5-hectare property is a rare chance to secure a genuine slice of rural New Zealand with room to breathe, and room to dream. From the paddocks, gaze across to the regionally significant Maraetotara Stream, meandering along the north-eastern boundary - a peaceful, ever-present backdrop to daily life here. The land itself has been thoughtfully subdivided with electric reticulation and is well served by a 4-bay shed with attached 2-bay workshop, a chook house and a small glasshouse. Everything you need is here to get stuck into hobby farming, gardening or simply making the most of the space. Closer to the house, a ha-ha lawn creates the sense of standing right within the view, with nothing between you and the rolling hills beyond. All-day sun and clear, starlit country skies complete the picture - the kind of setting where you notice the seasons turn, and watch the trees leaf out each spring. The three-bedroom, one-bathroom home has genuine character with vaulted timber ceilings, a generous living space and large windows that draw the landscape inside. Step outside and the living room and kitchen flow easily onto extensive decking, with a covered deck offering space to relax or entertain and well suited to long summer barbecues or simply making the most of the indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The home is ready for some TLC, and that's exactly where the opportunity lies: with a little vision and some elbow grease, there's real scope to breathe new life into this home while keeping what makes it special. This is a property for someone who can see past the surface and appreciate the potential. Bring your ideas, your energy and your country-living dreams - and make this Maraetotara property your own.
