Located on 4.4 hectares of fertile soil in the heart of Rapaura, this attractive mudbrick home set beside Spring Creek amidst mature trees and beautifully established gardens, provides a great space for a growing family or room for a rural couple not quite ready for town.

Open plan living, including a kitchen with granite benches, a double oven, gas cooktop, dining and a generous living room, all enjoying garden views and easy outdoor access, is complemented by a separate sitting room through double sliding doors.

A large master bedroom including a new ensuite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe is on the eastern side of the house while the other side incorporates three more bedrooms and two bathrooms. There is an office, a separate guest lavatory and a laundry set in a handy backdoor utility area.

Double glazing, woodburners, heatpumps, ceiling fans and underfloor in two bathrooms ensure year-round comfort. A generous double carport features cupboards for storage, a separate garage provides more storage plus there is a three bay lockable workshop with three phase power, and an implement shed large enough for campervans or boats.

The professionally designed garden complements the streamside setting, and provides spaces for all occasions. There is shade and shelter, lawns for recreation, a range of fruit and vegetables, a home for chooks and one for pigs, a very comfortable treehouse and an entertainment area along the bank of Spring Creek. Beautiful clean water is sourced from a bore on the property and there is a consent to irrigate.

A flat paddock of deep silty soil is currently leased out for growing shallots. It has previously produced onion seed, squash, peas and sweetcorn, and would be suitable for all manner of agricultural or horticultural development. A 1,500 square metre yard with a separate sealed entrance off Rapaura Road is ideal for a contractor or tradespeople.

On the doorstep, the Wairau River Regional Park offers fishing, swimming, biking, hiking and horseriding. Nearby, there is a lawn tennis club, Rapaura School, a choice of winery cellar doors and restaurants, and Makana chocolate factory is an easy guilt negating walk away. This attainable country estate provides an easy, convenient, secure and comfortable rural lifestyle, a slice of the good life in New Zealand's sunniest region.
