Overview

Where River Meets Rolling Pasture

Set on approximately 2 hectares of gently rolling land, 397 Busby Road offers the perfect balance of charm, privacy, and lifestyle. This beautifully renovated 1950s home is framed by native bush and bordered by a sparkling, crystal-clear river that winds through the grazing paddocks, creating a natural backdrop and a calming soundtrack to daily life. The river is a fantastic spot for camping or even a cabin, and a charming wooden bridge connects the grazing paddocks across the water. Inside, the home has been carefully modernised while retaining its mid-century character. The living room features polished timber floors and a ranch slider that opens onto a newly renovated north-facing deck overlooking the garden, creating a warm and inviting space for relaxing or entertaining. A huge timber deck off the dining room provides a settled, private spot for family lunches or BBQs. Previous renovations—including an updated kitchen and bathrooms, improved insulation, and fresh finishes—ensure contemporary comfort without compromising original style. With just new carpet in the bedrooms to add your own personal finishing touch, the home is ready for its next chapter. Practicality meets sustainability with solar power, utilizing 8 panels to reduce energy costs while embracing modern living. The land itself is a lifestyle dream. Rolling grazing, all fenced for sheep or beefies, is flanked by established bush, offering room for farming or simply enjoying the outdoors. The sparkling river enhances the property’s appeal—perfect for paddling, picnics, or quiet reflection. Adding practicality to the charm is a sprawling 3-bay shed with gravel flooring, complete with an attached covered-in lean-to—perfect for additional storage. This versatile space is ideal for vehicles, machinery, a workshop, or keeping equipment sheltered, with plenty of room for boats, trailers, or extra vehicles. Only a short 5-minute drive to Katikati township, this property combines rural privacy with easy access to local schools, shops, and community facilities. An ideal entry into a lifestyle property, 397 Busby Road delivers character, space, and opportunity in one irresistible package. This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle. NO GST.
