Tucked away in a picturesque valley just a short drive from Taihape township, this substantial two-storey character home sits proudly on 6.1 hectares (more or less and subject to title), offering both space and privacy. With its distinctive red roof and upstairs balcony, the home makes a striking first impression. Traditional features such as exposed timber beams, a timber stairwell, and lead light windows are complemented by modern updates.

The layout includes open-plan living with a wood burner and French doors opening onto a southeast-facing deck, a separate dining area warmed by a heat pump, and a practical kitchen with plenty of storage. The main bathroom has been modernised, while an additional out-house with laundry, a second toilet, and shower provides a handy space for those coming in from the outdoors. Multiple bedrooms on the second level capture elevated views of the surrounding hills, with the spacious master opening out to its own balcony deck.

An expansive lawn framed by mature trees provides a private and relaxed setting, complemented by apple trees and a raised vegetable garden. The property provides a bit of rolling farmland with native bush. A large multi-bay shed offers excellent storage and workshop space, along with the bonus of a chook house.

This property is ideal for families seeking a rural lifestyle, buyers wanting space for hobbies or work, or those looking to make their mark on a substantial homestead. 209 Ruanui Road presents an opportunity well worth exploring.
