Motivated Vendors Mean Opportunity
Deadline Sale - Closes 18 December at 1:00pm (unless sold prior).
Motivated vendors mean this property is seriously for sale and opportunities like this don't last long.
There is a certain kind of property that makes you exhale the moment you arrive where the light feels softer, the air feels cleaner, and the world seems to slow just a little.
1789 State Highway 6 is exactly that place.
Set on 9.58 hectares of peaceful, sun-soaked land, this lifestyle holding offers not just space, but freedom. Freedom to grow, to create, to breathe and to live the kind of rural life many dream about but few truly find.
Tucked privately between Wakefield and Kohatu, the property opens out to mixed flat and gently rolling land, your very own rural canvas. Established fruit trees and an orchard already in place mean you can enjoy fresh seasonal produce from the moment you move in. Imagine preserving your own fruit, or sharing home-grown produce with friends.
While the home is ready for a refresh, its solid bones and traditional charm make it an ideal canvas for someone with vision. A little modernising will go a long way here, allowing you to shape the spaces to your own taste and add real value in the process. Step inside the three-bedroom home and you'll feel an immediate warmth, both in atmosphere and in possibility. The house has comforting, lived-in character and excellent bones for anyone wishing to modernise over time. Meanwhile, two log burners, one fitted with a wetback promise cosy winter evenings, low power bills, and that unmistakable glow only firelight can bring.
From the living area, a slider opens out to the covered deck, a tranquil retreat overlooking the trees and paddocks. Here, the birdsong is constant and calming, and evenings are nothing short of magical. Picture yourself relaxing with a glass of wine, listening to the tui and bellbirds settle in the dusk while watching the world quietly pass by.
This is why people choose lifestyle living.
Adding even more versatility is the self-contained sleepout, complete with its own bathroom and kitchenette. Whether it becomes accommodation for extended family, a teenager's haven, guest space, or an Airbnb-style income earner, it provides options rarely found in properties at this price point. Importantly, the property was not impacted by recent weather events, giving buyers peace of mind about its reliability, positioning, and land stability.
