Dovedale Road, Upper Moutere, Tasman

Built in the 1970s and lived in by the original owners since then this home presents a fantastic opportunity for someone in need of a modernisation project. It could also tidy up beautifully with a little work if the 70s style is what you're after.

It retains all its original features, including Summerhill stone cladding, a melamine kitchen, built-in furniture, a feature stone fireplace, and a spa bath. The house has three bedrooms, a kitchen-dining area with a built-in office and wood burner (wetback), as well as a separate lounge with an open fireplace, a family bathroom, a separate toilet, and laundry. It has a private reliable water source recently upgraded with filter and UV treatment.

A combination garage, carport, workshop, rumpus room, and woodshed complex provides significant functionality to the property, which sits on 3,610 sqm of land, including its own pony paddock. A small stream babbles down one side of the property, and the Dove River is just across the road. Children will enjoy this river for recreation, and the confluence with the Motueka River is just a few hundred meters away for keen fly fishermen and kayakers.

In addition to all this, there is a glasshouse, established gardens, fruit trees, and plenty of space. The location offers a great mix of rural charm with good access routes when needed and is on the school bus routes.

Price: $699,000.
