Lodge Styled Country Lifestyle with Breathtaking Panoramic Rural Views


Chapple Architects and the current owners have passionately designed and built this high-quality "one-off" Lodge-style retreat to capture the stunning 180-degree unspoiled panoramic rural views every day. Highlighting native wooden exposed beams and a feature mantelpiece crafted of hardwood salvaged from an old logging bridge built in 1852. Even the hand selected riverstone stonework is from the nearby Rangitikei River, also a great place to fish. The welcoming open plan entertaining living room and dream kitchen with picture postcard views is absolutely breathtaking flowing seamlessly to a covered balcony deck for beautiful sunsets.


This overlooks a bush setting that has been quoted as one of the finest stands of natives remaining in the region and has its own spring-fed pond for the local waterfowl and wildlife to enjoy. The property is enhanced by the magnificent Kahikateas, Totara, Beech, Kanuka, Mahoe and a large variety of New Zealand priceless natives. Native bats and glow-worms inhabit the nearby stream bed and there is an abundance of native birdlife. The undulating 34-acre (more or less) property has character and is a balance of pasture areas grazed by beef heifers with excellent stockyards. The possibilities are endless for this stunning lodge-style property only limited by your imagination. Tourism, bush huts or yurts if you were inclined. Approximately thirty minutes drive to Palmerston North.
