There’s something refreshingly different about this Okuku lifestyle property. Set across approximately 4 ha, just 14km from Rangiora, this distinctive American barn-inspired home combines character, comfort and genuine country living in a setting that feels wonderfully removed from the everyday life. Unique, welcoming, and packed with personality, this is country living done differently. Designed for those who want more than simply a house in a paddock, the approximately 192m² home offers three generous bedrooms, two bathrooms and relaxed open-plan living that connects beautifully with the outdoors. The entire upper level is dedicated to the master retreat, a private escape complete with ensuite, walk-in wardrobe, its own sitting area and balcony capturing beautiful mountain views. Morning coffee, evening wine or simply a quiet place to enjoy the outlook, this is a space you'll quickly claim as your own. Downstairs, the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area forms the heart of the home, with a log fire bringing warmth and atmosphere through winter whilst the north facing aspect delivers sun, sun, sun, in the warmer months. Healthy Homes compliance provides additional reassurance. Outside is where the lifestyle really comes into its own. A substantial macrocarpa deck creates the perfect setting for long lunches, summer evenings and entertaining, surrounded by established native gardens, raised vegetable beds and productive fruit trees. The 4 ha are well set up with four large paddocks and two smaller holding paddocks, good fencing, troughs and water throughout, an appealing proposition for horses, sheep, cattle or simply enjoying the freedom of having land around you. Practicality hasn't been forgotten either, with a three-bay shed, woodshed, reliable bore water supply, dog run and chicken coop area. Secure Xfence around the house yard provides additional peace of mind for children and pets. This isn't manicured country living where you're afraid to get your boots dirty. It's a property where you can bring the horses home, grow your own produce, collect the eggs, light the fire and enjoy having space to breathe. This is more than just a lifestyle block, it's a property with soul, where muddy gumboots meet modern living, horses become part of the family, and every day ends with uninterrupted mountain views. Saddle up, your next adventure starts here. Please note that some photos have been virtually staged with furniture
