Safety and security are provided by the short drive through the gorge keeping casual traffic to a minimum. The rural area of Hunua enjoys a small village with community sports clubs, school, and shops. While some of Hunua is affected by pylons this Papakura end is not. The land provides ample grazing and has been farmed with care for decades by the same family as originally it was part of larger holdings. The property has not been used for horses but would lend itself to equestrian use, the implement shed could be converted for boxes. Cattle grazing the property will prosper and children or grandchildren will enjoy the farming experience. The original part of the home is over 100 years old with the main renovations and additions performed in the 1950's. Currently a 4 bedroom home and still very serviceable, it complements the beautiful setting and landscaped gardens. Adjacent is a small studio perfect for artists or potters. The old woolshed has attached implement shedding and is positioned just a little further along the driveway providing security for tools etc. If you have a qualifying relative then there is a modern 2 room 'granny flat' with double garage and sleepout. Enquiries regarding eligibility can be made to the Franklin District Council. If not suitable as a second dwelling this would make an excellent workspace with its own road entrance for clients. This truly versatile property is not required by the family and the trustees instructions are to sell. Auction is the preferred method if not sold prior, so quickly register your interest.
