Within easy driving distance to Tauranga and a choice of sought after rural primary schools, is this classic character villa on 8723sqm of land. Built in 1895, this home started life first as a dwelling for a rural town Mayor, before being moved to Oropi and steadily renovated over the years. The love and care that was put in this home is obvious. Walk inside and it feels like walking into early last century, yet there is still plenty of opportunity to add serious value.
The spacious hallway leads to a bedroom, the official lounge and central kitchen. Beautiful ship-lap walls and timber cabinets make the kitchen a joy to work in. From the kitchen is the formal dining room and another hallway to four bedrooms and two character bathrooms. Throughout are beautiful heart rimu floors and high ceilings with decorative plaster details, sash windows, several stained-glass windows and so much more.
The home is set on a large flat section with views towards the ocean. There is a double garage at the back, with laundry attached.
Two rolling paddocks in front of the home and in view from the wide covered front veranda means all your animal friends are in constant view.
This property really makes you appreciate living in this beautiful part of the country.
