Positioned on the edge of Herbert Forest, this remarkable 5.88ha lifestyle property offers the perfect balance of privacy, tranquillity, and outdoor adventure, all just 22km (approx.) from Oamaru. Surrounded by mature trees and tucked within its own sheltered microclimate, the property provides a peaceful haven where native birdlife, including tui, bellbirds, and fantails, can be enjoyed year-round.
Built in 1982, the home has been thoughtfully positioned to make the most of its picturesque rural setting, with large windows welcoming abundant natural light and framing the ever-changing landscape. At its heart is a generous open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, where timber-lined ceilings add warmth and character. A log burner and heat pump provide year-round comfort, while effortless flow to the sun-filled deck and established gardens creates an ideal setting for entertaining or simply relaxing in nature.
Three generous double bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes, complemented by a well-appointed family bathroom and a practical layout designed for comfortable everyday living.
Further enhancing the property's appeal are two separate utility cabins, offering exceptional flexibility for extended family, guest accommodation, hobbies, or a work-from-home setup. Complete with their own self-contained bathroom, these versatile spaces are a rare addition to a lifestyle property. A double garage with workshop space provides excellent storage for vehicles, tools, and recreational equipment.
The land is securely fenced and well suited to horses, cattle, or sheep, while a chook house and run add to the property's self-sufficient appeal. Sheltered paddocks and established trees guide you down to the flatter river boundary, where private river access and a secluded camping area create the perfect backdrop for family gatherings, summer evenings, and weekends spent outdoors.
For those who embrace an active lifestyle, the location is second to none. Ride on horseback directly into the surrounding forest on horseback, or enjoy the abundance of nearby recreational opportunities, including Grave's Dam, walking and mountain biking trails, hunting, and fishing. Combining natural beauty, privacy, versatility, and endless opportunities to explore, this is a lifestyle property that offers something truly special.
