Located 20 minutes from St Helens in the peaceful and green Pyengana Valley this is a farm that has a bit of everything.
This neatly appointed and carefully maintained 3 bedroom home with a loft which could be a fourth bedroom is situated on 22 plus hectares of fruit trees, ornamentals, light forest and pasture. There is an olive grove on a north facing slope, hazelnuts, berries of all descriptions, grapes, kiwifruit and this is just the beginning. The whole farm is watered from a permanent spring fed, gravity fed water supply.
The house block is an absolute delight, low maintenance with beautiful established trees and shrubs shielding the nooks and crannies where you can sit down and commune with the environment. The property was previously certified as fully organic and the owners have maintained this philosophy.
Outbuildings abound. There is a separate cottage which is already set up for your guests. An old dairy which is used as a workshop, a hay barn, a garage, machinery shed and a propagation room. There is even a stockyard to load and unload your beasts.
The home itself is a wonderful mix of old and new, and it works beautifully. There is an old world feel with modern conveniences. The master bedroom has a new, contemporary en-suite which easily integrates with the rest of the home. The other bedrooms are large with plenty of storage space in each. A large lounge and dining area opens to a deck which is perfect for outdoor entertaining. Then there is the loft which is a great place to relax and get away from it all. There are two decks and a courtyard / barbecue area built to take in the sunny aspect and the beautiful valley.
This is a fantastic opportunity to be a part of a friendly community and do your own thing. There are things that happen in the valley that are very traditional and time tested. You won’t regret inspecting this property.
