There's something pretty special about village living. It's knowing your neighbours and the faces behind the counter at the general store, kids walking themselves the short distance to the local primary school, heading out for a walk, stopping for a chat and somehow taking twice as long to get home. Here in Ongaonga, you get all of that, plus a charming family home on half an acre to call your own. And this is a home with a story. For more than 66 years, it has been loved by same family and now, after more than six decades, it's time for someone new to make it their own. The generous 2,023m2 section gives you the space to spread out, with ample room for vege gardens, fruit trees, kids, chooks and the dog. The sizable three-bedroom family home makes you want to kick off your shoes and stay awhile, idle away with a good book while basking in the warmth of the north-facing sun from the window seat in the large separate living room. A gas fire keeps the chill at bay when snow is capping the Ruahine Ranges, while a large glass slider opens straight out to a sunny north-facing terrace. The combined country-style kitchen and dining area invites quality family time around the table, while the bathroom has a shower over the bath, vanity and toilet. There's a separate laundry with the bonus of an outdoor shower, perfect for rinsing off muddy boots and dirty dogs. Outside, there's a large implement-style shed for the cars, trailer, toys, tools and all those projects you're yet to get around to. Located in the picturesque village of Ongaonga, in the heart of rural Central Hawke's Bay, this historic little village was founded in 1872 and is renowned for its beautifully preserved Historic Places Category 1 and 2 buildings and iconic outdoor museum. And when the bright lights of town call, Waipukurau and Waipawa are both just a 16-minute drive, with Hastings an easy 45-minute commute. A little more space. A little more community. A little less rush. And a charming home on half an acre, ready for its next chapter.
