27 Robertshawe Crescent, Dannevirke, Tararua

You must see this property to believe it. It is the kind of place that makes you walk in and instantly start imagining what life could look like here. The massive three bay shed is a standout from the beginning, with a footprint even bigger than the house itself, and it opens up so many options whether you want serious workspace, storage, hobbies, vehicles, or a setup that can grow with you. Step through the front door into the foyer and you are met with light everywhere. Large windows wrap around the home and pull the outside in from every angle. The kitchen, dining and living spaces flow together beautifully, creating a warm open heart of the home that feels easy to live in and even easier to enjoy. The bedrooms are positioned to take in the outlook across rolling farmland and open green space, so mornings start with a peaceful, uninterrupted view when you pull back the curtains. Everything about this home feels intentional. It has been thoughtfully designed so the practical stuff is already done, while still leaving you room to add your own style. Upstairs is a fantastic bonus, with another toilet and vanity plus two bedrooms off a large open space that is filled with light and looks out over the stunning self-sustainable gardens. And outside, it just keeps delivering. The wraparound deck is unreal and gives you multiple spots to chase the sun throughout the day. The gardens are a mix of covered and open areas, well established and productive, and the 25,000-litre water tank keeps the gardens thriving, while the home itself is on council supply for everyday water use. Add in extra storage sheds and plenty of scope to shape it into exactly what you want, and you have a property with serious potential and even better bones. This is not a drive by and forget it home. It isa home you will talk about on the way back down the driveway kind of home. If you have been hunting for privacy, space, sustainability and wide-open views, tucked away in a quiet cul de sac, this one is an absolute must see.
