Just 20 minutes from town, our highly motivated owners are offering this stunning 2.37 ha (approx) lifestyle property, a place where family memories are made. Set high and well back from the road at the top of a sealed concrete driveway, the impressive home spreads over three levels. It faces north, so is bathed in sun all year round. Inside, there's room for the whole family and then some. There are four double bedrooms, including a master suite with a walk-in wardrobe and en suite, two living areas - one being separate with a wood burner with a wet back for those cooler nights. A separate office for those who like to work from home and why wouldn't you with a property like this! The well-appointed kitchen combined with dining opens out on an elevated covered deck overlooking the pool. Step outside and summer takes care of itself. Expansive decking wraps around the sparkling pool, ready for long lazy afternoons, and the all-weather tennis court is waiting for the annual family tournament. Tucked away is a private picnic area with views across the river and valley, the perfect spot to escape with a basket and a blanket. Picture the kids in the pool, the barbecue going, and everyone gathered on the deck as the sun sets. This is the place everyone will want to come for Christmas. A good size covered two bay shed, with lockable storage and workshop offers that extra space we all need. Here you get privacy, room to breathe and a lifestyle with its own eco climate all within easy reach of town. Your family will treasure this for generations! A must see for all lifestyle buyers who are looking for the best bang for their buck. Call today to arrange your private viewing.

Some properties give you a house. This one gives you options. Penhill House pairs a beautifully characterful villa with a fully self-contained tiny home - a combination that opens up real possibilities, whether that's housing extended family, carving out a work-from-home space with proper separation or generating rental income. Set on 5363 m2 (approx) with rolling rural and sea views, it delivers the space and privacy of a lifestyle block, minus the workload. At 242 m2 (approx), the main residence is generous in every sense - soaring decorative ceilings, dark timber joinery and rooms with real proportions, all brought up to date with modern comforts. There's room to spread out or retreat. The main lounge, newly carpeted, centres around a fireplace and big windows that frame the view, while a second living area can be used as a media room, family space or quiet zone of its own. The kitchen holds its own - quality appliances, generous storage, a breakfast bar - and flows naturally into dining and living, or out to either of two decks made for entertaining. Sleeping arrangements stretch to four-five bedrooms (or a home office), with two ensuites - the master anchored by a striking timber vanity - plus a third bathroom covering the rest of the home. Outside strikes a rare balance: enough lawn and garden to enjoy, not so much you're chained to it. Several outdoor living zones mean you can chase the sun or duck the wind, whatever the day calls for. A 63 m2 (approx) three car garage and generous off-street parking round things out. Tucked into Maxwell/Pakaraka, this is a genuine step back from the pace of things - yet Whanganui's schools, services and city amenities are only around 20 minutes away, with the coast close enough to enjoy. For buyers after flexibility, character and true separate accommodation, Penhill House is hard to match.
