Situated in Golden Valley, the house is 6kms from Waihi Beach and 6kms from the town. Originally built as a farm house, we bought it in 2004 and have invested alot bringing it up to date. Improvements include polished wood floors, new carpets, tinted double glazing to stop fading, foam insulation in walls, DVS, Pink Batts in roof, Expol under floors. Solar hot water with wet back; we have never turned the electric water heater on. New kitchen with Bosch appliances. En suite with heated floor, new second bathroom, fitted wardrobes in second bedroom. Replumbed and rewired throughout. Total inside and outside redecoration. Plantings outside, vege patch with raised beds. Fig, cooking apple, eating apple, avocado, lemon, mandarine, orange and grapefruit trees in the garden, as well as some amazing massive mature trees. These don't overlook the house so don't drop leaves into the gutters. Water comes from a spring so no water rates to worry about. It has never run dry in 62 years and tastes great! Free draining soil, so doesn't flood. Anything grows here if you want to be self sufficient. We have our own sheep in the paddocks. Four bay barn with concrete floor and power so great for tractors, cars and wood storage. An old pool that we use as a fish pond now. Large concrete deck which faces north and gets all day sun. Includes Shade umbrella with new cover. Second deck by the pond. Also self contained sleepout which we have on BookaBatch (see Carver Accommodation for details). Has double bedroom with en suite, living room, dining area and kitchen, all separate from main house. Great as either a lifestyle property or bringing up a family. We have no kids and it is a family home. Comes with free range chickens and two goats if you promise to look after them. |
