Timaru is a unique 73.6 acre property in a picturesque setting with excellent improvements. The substantial two storey cedar home has 4 generous bedrooms and expansive decks that take in the view over the delightful established gardens and the peaceful rural landscape.

The spacious timber kitchen includes a gas stove, large walk-in pantry, dishwasher and long breakfast bar. Walk through the pantry and you will find a very spacious office and separate laundry with a toilet.

Timber is a feature of this home with its vaulted ceilings, panel walls and exposed timber posts that have been recycled from an old bridge and now form a stylish feature in the open living area. The living area has reverse cycle air-conditioning and a slow combustion wood heater and opens onto a huge undercover entertaining deck.

There are two bedrooms down-stairs. The main bedroom has air-conditioning, a ceiling fan, large built-in robe and en suite and opens directly onto the verandah. Bedroom 2 has a built-in robe and desk. There is a large second living area/library with gas heating. The main bathroom has a corner bath/shower, extra-large vanity and toilet. In addition to the wide verandahs that wrap around this home there’s a great Queensland room just off from the kitchen – a cool place to relax on a hot summer afternoon.

Upstairs you will find two more spacious bedrooms both with built-in robes and air-conditioning. One of these bedrooms also has an en suite and great views over a large dam.

Next to the house is fully enclosed workshop with power and a slab floor. In addition to this there are two other 5 bay machinery sheds. The home has up to 70,000 litres of rain water storage and a 14 mega litre dam powered by solar pump which can be pumped to the house for use in the toilets and bathrooms.

Timaru also provides a potential future investment in the form of 50 acres of plantation eucalypts (8,000 Spotted Gums planted in 1995). There’s still room to run some cattle or horses plus stock can also graze under the trees which are now well established.

The home and its wonderful verandahs are nestled by a beautiful country garden. This is truly a place to relax and forget the cares and worries of the world. You will however, have to share your piece of paradise with a very friendly family of wallabies and a wide variety of native birds who also call Timaru home.
