48 Old Hautere Road, Te Horo, Kapiti Coast

This superb lifestyle property is situated in the highly sought after heart of Old Hautere and just moments from the expressway on-ramp. A large, beautifully modernised family home sits on over eight acres of prime Te Horo heartland. This is one of the most well rounded lifestyle properties in the area, with six lush, well fenced paddocks, perfect for a variety of stock, as well as stables, yards, garaging for ten vehicles, a plentiful water source and four water tanks.

There's a real warmth to this generous cedar clad home, with sumptuous living areas, four large double bedrooms, three bathrooms (two of which are ensuites) and a study. The new open plan kitchen is without a doubt the heart of the home and includes a ridiculous amount of storage, two new Bosch wall ovens, a jaw-dropping picture window and is an absolute triumph. The eastern wing of this home has been designed with an external entrance and separate living quarters in mind - perfect for intergenerational living. A woodburner, three heat pumps and full insulation make this an extremely comfortable, warm and dry home. There's new carpet, bamboo flooring and fresh paintwork throughout, and new drapes give it the final flourish.

Indoor living overlooks a verdant garden and family and friends will happily gather together with room to spill outside in the summer months. Plenty of room to dine alfresco, with ample room for all at the quintessential kiwi bbq, as well as an awesome built in pizza oven. Take pleasure in this beautiful established garden which comes to life with colour and an abundance of flora and bird life. Surrounded by mature trees and pretty plantings, there's flat land all set for backyard cricket. Vegetable beds and a cornucopia of fruit trees complete the picture.

Everything you need to create the life you've dreamed of is here. After more than two decades of loving life here it's time for these farmers to hand over the reins and let another family create their own cherished and lasting memories.
