If you're ready to step away from the demands of farm life but aren't quite prepared to give up the rural outlook you know and love - this beautifully presented property makes the transition to town life easy. But be warned: if you thought you were moving to town to retire - think again! In this highly sought-after location, you'll find yourself walking to the shops, meeting friends at cafes, joining bowling or bridge clubs, riding your e-bike on the limestone trails, or casting a line at the nearby Tukituki River. Life is about to become a whole new kind of busy! Often admired from the street, this spacious family home has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully modernised over the years, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere. Sunlight streams through gorgeous picture windows, creating a wonderful connection between the formal and family living spaces and the outdoor entertaining areas nestled within the beautifully established gardens. A separate sunroom and a generous rumpus room add even more flexibility, providing the perfect spaces for craft, hobbies, a home office or a playroom for the grandies. All three double bedrooms have excellent wardrobe storage and their own door opening onto the east-facing terrace. There are also two well-appointed bathrooms, a separate laundry and internal access to the double garage. Outside, the 802m2 grounds are an absolute credit, with lovely specimen trees providing privacy from the road, flower gardens and thriving vegetable beds. This exceptional property is not only ideal for those looking to downsize but also for busy professionals and families seeking ease of living in a quality setting.

From the street, this property gives away absolutely nothing about what lies behind its walls. Step inside and prepare to have your expectations completely rearranged. Somewhat reminiscent of loft-style apartment living, this is a space that doesn't follow the normal rulebook. Big, bold and undeniably funky, yet with a certain warmth and cosiness that makes it feel like home. Vast in scale yet very inviting, the interior centres around an impressive open-plan living space designed for entertaining, relaxing and living a little differently. The kitchen is a showstopper - seriously stylish with designer finishes, a generous island bench with raised bar seating, and an out-the-gate integrated beverage station, equally suited to morning coffees or evening cocktails. From there, the space flows through defined dining and living zones, with a freestanding wood burner adding warmth and atmosphere. Downstairs, the bathroom and integrated laundry have been crafted by a tiler with an exceptional eye for detail and the skills to match - this is a space that could easily be considered a work of art in its own right. Upstairs, a second bathroom services two further double bedrooms. Set on a supersized 1,215m2 section in the relaxed rural township of Otane, you'll be part of a village well known for its laid-back lifestyle and thriving arts and sporting community, while still being within an easy commute of both Waipukurau and Hastings. A seriously cool home. A creative studio. A work-from-home setup. Somewhere to live your best life. Whatever you see, this is an inspiring and versatile space with the potential to be so much more. Go on. Appease your curiosity. Come and check out what lies behind!
