LIFESTYLE: Peaceful. Private. Poraiti. Nestled into an elevated yet very sheltered position capturing all-day sun and views to the hills, this gorgeous low-maintenance home surrounded by established easy care gardens really is a restful haven to come home to. Boasting five bedrooms plus an office, spacious sunny open plan living with a brand-new kitchen plus a second sun-drenched lounge and a beautifully tiled patio – so inviting any time of day, from that early morning coffee catching the sunrise to a stargazing nightcap. The master bedroom features a walk-in wardrobe plus an ensuite with walk-through access to the fourth bedroom/dressing room whilst the double integral garage is roomy enough for additional storage units too. The low maintenance gardens host a wide array of plantings and extend around the home to include the bountiful orchard and the free-range chicken run. Set on 3.7 acres with three well-grassed paddocks providing ample stock grazing and space for horses, this is a versatile lifestyle ideally suited to growing (or grown) families or retiring farmers. Peaceful and private yet so close to town, just about everything you need to fully enjoy relaxed country living is right here. By Negotiation hawkesbaylifestyle.com
