Old-School Charm
Built in the early 1900s and lovingly maintained, this charming wooden villa in rural Arapito offers a rare opportunity to secure an inviting family home in a peaceful and private setting. Situated on the south bank of the majestic Karamea River—yet safely elevated and not flood prone—the property enjoys a pleasant rural aspect, surrounded by lush farmland with bush-clad mountains beyond. It is on the rural delivery mail service and school bus route, making it ideal for families or anyone seeking convenience in a tranquil location. With exceptional access to angling, kayaking, rafting and other water sports, it is a trout-fishing paradise perfectly suited to outdoor enthusiasts. The 140 m² home sits on a generous 2126 m² section with excellent sun. Inside, the modernised kitchen features warm macracarpa wall linings, lead-light accents, an electric range, stainless-steel sink and bench, ample cupboard space and a Wellstood wood or coal range with wet-back and large cylinder. The spacious open-plan lounge is heated by a multi-fuel range oven, while the fourth bedroom—currently used as a family day room/office—also has a freestanding wood burner for added comfort. There are four bedrooms in total, two of them doubles with built-in wardrobes. The bathroom includes a built-in bath, shower, vanity, and the separate toilet has a compact sliding door. A dedicated laundry room provides further practicality. Good quality carpet, drapes, net curtains and light fittings are included, and the home’s attractive flow continues outdoors to an extensive 28 m² covered rear deck—perfect for year-round outdoor living—as well as a verandah across the front of the house. The main shed offers around 65 m² of space with double car parking, concrete floor and a verandah running along the front; it could be easily converted into a granny flat or rumpus room. Additional outbuildings include high-clearance garaging for four vehicles, large woodsheds, a drying shed and a hot house, along with a workshop and storage room with loft, accessed from the rear deck. This versatile property offers exceptional value and is well suited to families, young retirees, those pursuing sustainable living, and people of an artistic bent such as writers or painters, as well as anyone with a home-based vocation seeking space and serenity. Opportunities of this calibre in the Karamea area are highly sought after. For more information or to arrange a viewing, please contact Paul Murray.
