This grand old lady of 1905 stands proudly on an idyllic sweeping lawn bringing her timeless appeal to the country. Full of charm and character, the romantics amongst us will love the attention to detail. Soaring high stud ceilings, original window panelling, bay windows, double-hung wooden sash windows, ornate hallway arch, ceiling roses, wooden fretwork, finials, even a witches spike!
The sympathetically renovated kitchen with marble benchtops and butlers sink is in keeping with the home. French doors lead out to a terrace with an outdoor fire, the perfect place to congregate with family and friends. Two logburners and a heat pump make it cosy with the sun streaming into the home.
Pull up a chair on the wraparound verandah, made for long chats, a good book or a late afternoon G&T. Lazy summer days by the pool with the recent addition of a self-cleaning pool and deck setting the scene.
With ten acres there is room for horses or animals of your choice. The property also boasts a sunken potager garden, an approx 90sqm Versatile garage and a four-bay shed.
Let the children roam, explore and create the sort of memories that stay with them long after childhood. And when you need the shops, amenities or a coffee in town, Rangiora is just minutes away. Waikuku Beach with a surfclub and a few waves is also just down the road.
Our owners are seeking a change in direction meaning a very reluctant sale of this ambient home. Imagine Christmas in your new home, prepare to be impressed.

What is rental yield?
Gross rental yield is a year’s rent as a share of what the property is worth: $690 × 52 weeks = $35,880, against the council valuation of $820,000. It is before rates, insurance, maintenance, management and vacancies, so what an owner keeps (the net yield) is lower.
How we worked this out
| Evidence | Points to | Counted |
|---|---|---|
| From its value what rentals in the area typically yield | $689 | 100% |
We read this property as a house with 3 bedrooms. Rentals advertised nearby count most when they are close, recent and alike; the more of them there are, the less the area’s bond figures count. Bond figures are rents agreed in new tenancies, from Tenancy Services, placed within the area by how this property’s council valuation compares with similar homes there.
These are computer-generated guides only, not a rental appraisal.

Free. Takes about a minute.

What could you build here?
See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
