Front row to the Hunterville shemozzle
There’s something lovely about a home that has been lived in and loved for many years, where the garden has grown around it, favourite sunny spots have been found and the character of different eras has become part of its story. Dating back to the early 1900s, this charming Hunterville cottage has that instantly welcoming feel. Behind the picket fence and established gardens, the home blends beautiful original features, including timber ceilings, with updates made over the years, giving it a relaxed, slightly retro personality all of its own. At the heart of the home is a generous kitchen and dining room, where a beautiful Orion Shacklock coal range provides a special reminder of the home's past. There's plenty of room for family meals around the table, while the separate lounge, with its beautiful timber ceiling, offers a welcoming space to relax and unwind. Three double bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, complemented by a family bathroom with separate bath and corner shower, while two heat pumps and ceiling insulation help with year-round comfort. Outside, the established gardens and flowering trees add to the cottage feel, with the covered front verandah catching the afternoon sun and providing the perfect spot to pull up a chair, enjoy a cuppa and watch the world go by. An additional outdoor toilet, separate shed incorporating the laundry and hobby space, large garden shed and substantial double garage take care of the practicalities. Set in a quiet street yet close to the heart of Hunterville, preschools, the primary school, boutique shops and local eateries are all nearby. There's a wonderful sense of community here too, with the annual Hunterville Huntaway Festival, including the legendary Shepherds' Shemozzle, bringing crowds to town and giving this home's front verandah a front-row view of the festivities. For those who love the outdoors, Vinegar Hill is just a short drive away for summer swimming, picnics and fishing, while Palmerston North and Whanganui are both within commuting distance. Full of warmth, history and personality, this is a home that has been enjoyed for many years and is ready for someone new to add the next chapter to its story.

If you've been searching for a substantial family home with room for animals, gardens, hobbies and a few projects along the way, this property could be just what you're looking for. Held by the same family for more than 30 years, it offers four bedrooms, generous living spaces and approximately 3,325m2 of land, all with a lovely semi-rural feel. The expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area provides plenty of room for everyday family life, with beautiful native timber detailing adding warmth and character. French doors open onto a sunny north-facing patio, while the adjoining lounge offers another spacious area to relax or entertain. Large windows throughout bring in plenty of natural light and overlook the established grounds. Along with the four bedrooms, there's a family bathroom, two separate toilets, a spacious laundry and good storage throughout. Much of the home remains in its original condition, leaving plenty of scope to renovate, modernise and make it your own. Outside, mature trees, established gardens and a variety of fruit trees add to the property's charm, while the paddocks provide room for a few animals or perhaps a more self-sufficient lifestyle. There's ample space for vegetable gardens, outdoor projects or simply enjoying the extra land without having to venture too far from town. A loading ramp and two outbuildings add practicality, along with a single garage incorporating workshop and storage areas, a woodshed and garden shed. For those considering the longer-term possibilities, the property is located within the General Residential Zone under the Rangitīkei District Plan, so future subdivision may also be worth investigating, subject to Council requirements and approval. With over three-quarters of an acre, a sizeable family home and plenty of scope to add value over time, there's a lot to like here. Whether you're keen to roll up your sleeves and renovate, enjoy the space as it is or explore what the land could offer in the future, this is a property well worth considering.
