1279 Kereru Road is a perfect example of a great little lifestyle property. There has been a huge amount of time, effort and work put into this 9285 m/2.3 acre property and it is evident when you visit. The vendors are reluctantly moving on and the lucky new owners will reap the benefits of all the improvements. A well-presented, beautiful home is the centrepiece of this lifestyle property.

There is a huge deck off the kitchen/dining area, which is great for entertaining or taking in the rural vista this property offers. The very efficient new Firenzo fireplace, along with a heat pump in the lounge and main and second bedrooms and an HRV system, makes this home comfortable all year round.
