Lovely country home, well below CV.

Very sound home, ready for a new owner's personal touch.
Owners have moved on to another project and dropped the price to achieve a sale.

An easy 25 min. drive from Masterton, this private and tranquil 6 acre property is 8km before Tinui village, and 25 mins. from Castlepoint.
This large and well-maintained, comfortable home faces north east with lots of windows and is light and sunny inside.
There are 3 large bedrooms all with ensuites - main bedroom has a walk in wardrobe, others have built in w'robes. Also a family bathroom with a large bath with shower, plus a walk-in linen press/cupboard off the passage. All bathrooms are in very good condition.
Polished floors are mainly Rimu and Totara.
A solid sleep-out with windows all around is adjacent to the house as a fourth bedroom.
Well-appointed large kitchen opening into a dining room and a separate large sitting room. These rooms open onto a sheltered surrounding deck with verandah, overlooking lawn and trees with native bird life.
Gas fire in dining room, wood burners in sitting room and kitchen, with an open fireplace built into the chimney on the large deck. Ceiling heat transfer system into bedrooms. Ceilings and floors are insulated, guttering and down pipes replaced recently and new gas hot water system installed.
Three purpose built woodsheds and an endless supply of firewood available from large Macrocarpas in the paddock.
Also a separate large workroom, 2 store rooms, a garage, sauna and a hot house. There's a four acre undulating fenced paddock with a large pond.
Two rainwater tanks (recently flushed and cleaned) with good filters and pumps, and a combined capacity of 63,000 litres.
Home was originally a farmhouse and later run as a successful retreat/homestay attracting visitors mainly from Wellington and overseas. With private bedrooms and ensuites, the potential for a homestay/business remains.

The present owners enjoyed it as a peaceful and private home, working from a separate office on the property with fast wireless broadband connection.
This can be reinstalled through a local provider enabling also a mobile phone connection.

Tinui boasts an excellent school, daycare centre, vibrant cafe/bar, a community hall used for theatrical productions in the recent past, plus astro turf tennis and hockey courts and a very welcoming rural community.

Note: Photos of furnished rooms were taken prior to the owners moving north.
