<b>Peace, Privacy And Position</b> It would be difficult to find a more secluded and peaceful rural retreat that is still so close to those everyday amenities of life! This spacious 3 bedroom plus office, multi living room home sits in an elevated position with stunning uninterrupted views to the Western Ranges. It has an open fire for ambience and a heatpump for convenience, a master bedroom with ensuite that opens out to a spa area, a large open plan living and dining, and is completely private; sheltered by established trees and hedging. The home is surrounded on 3 sides by a covered verandah which provides a sunny spot at all times of the day, where you can sit and enjoy your own tame family of tuis. The house comes with 21 hectares of clean pasture divided into 4 paddocks fully deer fenced. It currently runs deer, sheep and some cattle, but equally would grow most things as the soil is beautiful Mt Heslington loam. There is an excellent modern outbuilding that houses a double garage with workshop, woodshed and quadbike shelter sitting on a huge flat parking area that would fit your boat, campervan, trailer and several cars. This country oasis is 5 minutes drive on a sealed road to Wakefield village that has a primary school, doctors surgery and pharmacy, supermarket, service station and cafe. The service centre of Richmond with its secondary schools is 20 minutes away. The Wairoa Gorge with beautiful swimming holes is 5 minutes drive up the road, and the Rainbow skifield is within an hour and a half.
