Offering peace, privacy, and breathtaking views, this could be the very special property you've been waiting for. Set on approximately twenty acres of lush, rolling and fertile grazing land, this beautifully maintained property enjoys an elevated position that captures spectacular lake and mountain views. Lovingly cared for over the years, the home offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere from the moment you step inside. At its heart is the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, where a crackling fireplace creates a cosy gathering space for family and friends. Large picture windows flood the home with natural light while framing the incredible rural outlook from almost every room. The home features three generous bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom with a separate toilet, providing a practical layout for comfortable family living while embracing the relaxed pace of country life. Step outside to a large, sun-soaked entertaining area, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee, hosting summer barbecues, or simply soaking up the peaceful surroundings. Thoughtfully established gardens and mature plantings enhance the natural beauty of the property, creating an idyllic setting in every season. Adding even more versatility is a self-contained sleepout, offering the ideal space for extended family, guests, or independent accommodation. Water security is well catered for, with rainwater collected from the roof and stored in two large tanks that supply the home. A bore further supplements the property's water supply, ensuring year-round reliability while also feeding the four stock troughs strategically located throughout the land. Whether you're running livestock or producing your own hay, the property's fencing layout offers excellent versatility. Secure perimeter fencing encloses the property, while the house enjoys its own fenced section. Internal electric fencing can be easily adjusted to suit rotational grazing, simplify stock movements, and create convenient access for mowing and haymaking. Graze livestock, embrace a more self-sufficient lifestyle, or simply enjoy the peace and tranquillity of rural living—this exceptional property offers the perfect balance of productivity, comfort, and natural beauty. More than just a home, 679 Wereta Road is a lifestyle many aspire to but few are fortunate enough to find—a place where children can roam freely, animals can graze, life slows to a gentler pace, and every day begins and ends surrounded by the beauty and serenity of the countryside.
