This exceptionally well-located property is arguably in one of the best areas of the Taumarunui district, just 5 minutes to the golf course, 8 minutes to town, and with both primary and high school bus services available at the gate. The land is a rare find, it is all flat with no hills making it highly practical and easy to manage. While part of the boundary extends toward the Taringamotu Stream, the usable area is all flat. Free-draining ash soils over pumice provide excellent grazing conditions year-round, particularly through winter. Fencing is tidy with functional cattle yards. Water is supplied via a bore with pump and filtration system, servicing both the home and stock. Farm improvements include a large, lockable half-round barn with concrete floor and a modern double garage/workshop for storage and machinery. The early 1990s home offers a practical layout with four bedrooms, including a master with ensuite, and a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. An internal access double garage connects to a utility room and third toilet. Positioned for all-day sun, the home is well maintained and comfortable as is, with scope to modernise and add value over time.
