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.

Now this is what we call a great home to get you onto the property ladder! Affordable enough to get you in the door, tidy enough to move straight in and with more than enough potential to see you right down the track! Situated in a popular pocket of town in a quiet residential cul-de-sac street, this deceptively spacious three-bedroom home has been well cared for by just two owners since it was built in 1983. The north-facing living is a real winner, soaking up the all-day sun and kept cosy with a gas fire and heat pump, with a defined dining area and separate kitchen, and opening to a fabulous deck that stretches the full length of the house. With doors opening from the master bedroom, living and dining, this is the kind of outdoor space you'll quickly claim as your favourite spot to sit and soak up the sun. Inside, the home is perfectly liveable just as it is, with great scope for a modern refresh over time. Three double bedrooms are complemented by a separate office nook, bathroom with bath and shower, separate toilet and laundry with outdoor access. Outside, the 630m2 section is easy-care, with minimal lawns and gardens to maintain along with a large garage with a sealed parking forecourt. No major project here - just a solid, sunny and beautifully liveable home with great outdoor living and the opportunity to add value as you go.
