The well-maintained homestead, established in 1950 and renovated and extended over time, was previously used as a farm stay hosting international visitors. It offers comfortable open-plan family living with multiple living areas, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, an office and two sunrooms. Three car garaging with workshop space, established gardens and mature trees complete a relaxed indoor-outdoor lifestyle in a private, sheltered setting. • 1.2217ha of flat, fertile land with sandy loam soils • Landmark two storey • Red Barn with consented commercial infrastructure • Spacious, flexible homestead suited to family or home based business • Former implement shed and space for additional buildings (subject to consent) • Excellent access, generous parking and practical shedding • Only 7km to Whakatane CBD On the market for the first time in 90 years, this property offers lifestyle, infrastructure and genuine scope to add value - practical opportunities of this scale and versatility are seldom available.
