If you yearn for an escape to the country, to enjoy the walks and views, the birdsong, and the stargazing - then this incredible property, between two tall Totara trees and down a long driveway, might be the perfect change of scenery. Set on approx. 22 hectares of beautiful scenery, woodland, and rolling hills, 298 Mangaone Road is much more than just a house. This property is so large, so versatile, and offers a lifestyle all of its own. The grounds here are something else: a macrocarpa forest, protected native bush, and park-like landscaped gardens that blend seamlessly as you wander over vast lawns and beneath mature canopies. It's an absolute sanctuary for wildlife, with incredible birdsong, visits from wild deer, and even a glow worm cave grotto! The main property is a spacious family home, blending modern comfort with rustic charm. High ceilings and large windows bring fresh air and sunshine into every corner and bridge the gap between the fresh indoor rooms and your sprawling outdoor spaces. A wraparound deck provides some of the best spots to kick back and gaze across the property, while four bedrooms are an ideal size for a large family or for entertaining guests. If the main house isn't enough, there's the cottage built from the property's macrocarpa! This cottage boasts two large bedrooms and a bathroom, with a stylish mezzanine overlooking your social space. Previously used as a rental or Airbnb, it's a versatile space for hosting friends, or as an extra income source. There are a handful of additional outhouses and barns from the property's working farm days, and these spaces are exceptional as hobby, workshop, office, or study spaces, or as options to renovate and invest. This is a property that needs to be seen to be believed! For those who want an adventure, a change from the big smoke, and more than a wee bit of magic, head over to Mangaone Road. *SOURCE: Floor/Land Area & RV: PropertyGuru. RATES: KCDC.
