A Piece of Waimate History With Room to Create Something Special
Elevated, North facing and looking across towards the Hunter Hills, this is a property with a wonderful sense of place, a fascinating connection to the history of the district and plenty of opportunity for the future.
Set in the historic Studholme area, the property sits within a district shaped by generations of farming and settlement, with strong connections to the Studholme family and the returned-servicemen settlement that followed the First World War.
Today, this 1.3269ha property offers the space and flexibility that is becoming increasingly hard to find enough land to keep animals, grow your own food, enjoy the outdoors and perhaps even create something more.
The three-bedroom home is comfortable and practical, with three double bedrooms, built-in wardrobes and open-plan living centred around a cosy log burner. The home is well insulated, with double glazing to the bedrooms, and includes a modern bathroom, separate toilet and laundry.
Outside, there is plenty of infrastructure to make rural living easier. The fully fenced property includes stockyards, covered sheds, a double garage, a single garage and a spacious workshop. There is also an impressive 8ft x 8ft walk-in chiller, opening up some particularly interesting possibilities for anyone with a green thumb or entrepreneurial streak.
Imagine a productive market garden, growing seasonal produce for local customers, with the chiller providing valuable storage. The land and existing buildings offer a great starting point for a home-based business, hobby enterprise or simply a more self-sufficient way of life.
And then there is the front paddock. With some imagination, it could potentially become something quite different perhaps two individual accomadation cabins, each with its own small paddock, creating a charming rural bed and bale concept or horse style venture, subject of course to the necessary planning and building approvals.
For those who simply want a lifestyle property, there is plenty here to enjoy without taking on a huge block. Keep a few animals, grow vegetables, have room for family and friends, or make the most of the wonderful elevated position and open outlook.
A separate games room provides another versatile space for entertaining, hobbies or family gatherings.
With its northern aspect, Hunter Hills views, generous landholding, extensive outbuildings and fascinating connection to the history of the Studholme area, this is far more than just a three-bedroom home on a lifestyle block.
A property with history, space and possibilities and plenty of room to write the next chapter.
