Enthusiastic outdoor lovers, the owners designed their 2004 home to flow from indoor living to outdoor living. Surrounding the big outdoor fire the decking has built-in seating and space for comfy settees so while you relax and dine watching the setting sun you can also keep an eye on your horses and stock. The trendy kitchen has extensive bifold windows to the outdoor living making it easy to pass food to hungry family and friends. It's definitely the good life here. The three bedrooms are generously sized, the master has an ensuite and the family bathroom is a treat with a Spa bath and an open shower. The big double garage has internal access and a study with a gun cupboard. There's heaps of parking space with a boat port positioned near the garage. Lawns with a playhouse are another attractive easy-care feature. At the bottom of the concrete drive, there's a useful shed used by the girls as stables and storage for tack. The property, with the home set in a commanding position to enjoy outstanding views, is located en-route for Kinloch Village, so boating, swimming and trout fishing are but a short drive. Live the dream. Visit the open homes or make an appointment to view. ]]> http://www.countryliving.co.nz//index.php?action=listingview&listingID=284 Mjg0LTIwMTgtMTItMTAgMTM6Mjc6MzA= Mon, 03 Dec 2018 08:42:24 +1300 So private and peaceful this 4.4 Hectare (11 acre) property boasts an almost new 3 bedroom home with state of the art insulation and glazing.

Featuring a wide, extensive veranda which is perfect for meals out of doors the open plan living is designed to take advantage of the indoor to outdoor freedom. The roomy modern kitchen with a new stove and large breakfast bar allows for multiple cooks doing their "thing" at once. The double garage connects to the kitchen so makes grocery unpacking super easy. There are 2 double bedrooms and a good sized single, all with easy access to the shower room.

Surrounded by farm land giving a real country feel, this property is just 13.7km to town and 11.1km to Kinloch. It's a wee countryside gem, definitely worth a viewing.
