Originally this was the home of the local butcher back in 1880. The homestead has been part of the Russell scene for over 125 years and has lost none of its original grace. In fact when the current owners were restoring the house they found newspapers dated 1889 in the old kauri walls. The extensively renovated bungalow retains all its charms from the veranda on two sides to the generously sized formal lounge and dining room to the gardens. There are 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in the main house, a garden cottage used as another sleeping area and over the double garage is further accommodation. Plenty of space for all to enjoy the privacy and pleasure this property gives
To complement the residence is a beautiful and lovingly tended garden reminiscent of the English cottage garden. Arapohue means a pathway or valley of flowers and is an apt description for this property.
The position is in central Russell with the historic waterfront but a short stroll away where you can find the cafes, restaurants and wharf.
The property has been run as a B&B for the last 6 years. This could easily continue or you could have it as a private home. The choice is yours to make.
