With a rich history dating back to its origins in Maori Hill in 1914, the owners of this home undertook a labour of love in 2013 relocating this piece of history to their beloved East Taieri and restoring it to its former glory.

The warm and comforting lounge with its soft tones and big windows provides the perfect relaxing spot year round, with plenty of sun coming through the double glazed windows and in winter the Woodsman fire (on wetback) plus heat pump will keep you toasty.

You will especially love the fabulous cooker. From here you access the rear laundry and utility room. The master bedroom with its high ceilings and character features are just what you would hope for from a home of this era.
