128 Banks Road, Rongotea, Manawatu

At this 4.5 acre property you don't have to compromise location for the ultimate peace and quiet. Located on a very quiet side road around 15 minutes from Palmerston North, Feilding and Ohakea Airbase. Historically this was the homestead for the famous Bilbar Lodge which has been modernised and extended over the years. The tarsealed driveway leads you through mature trees to this well-maintained home. There's three bedrooms - the master has a WIW and ensuite - and two lounges plus fabulous outdoor living that looks out across the garden and the land. You can drink your morning coffee outside all year round under the shelter of the covered deck or the verandah, and you'll be very reluctant to leave for work. Enjoy wandering around the beautiful gardens in the evening, seeing what new colourful flowers have appeared while listening to the evening song of birdlife. The productive land is flat, and along with the double garage with work space and a large farm shed at the rear of the property - this is the whole package! Current RV $1,040,000.
