Pukekaka Homestead is a freehold property with no encumberances.
There are 3 acres, more or less, of land
There is a detached dwelling which can be split into two living areas, divided by a lockable door
Retain this character building as a large five bedroom home, with three receptions, three bathrooms and two kitchens - all at ground level; but with the ability to lock one door and have a separate apartment
The estimated cost to rebuild on the site as 'complete replacement' is NZ$1,474,000
There is also a largely completed loft conversion, which provides space for two addition double beds
Plus an arts/crafts studio, and plenty of storage
The newer part, built in the mid 1960s, faces the sun (North) and with its double ranch sliders, and two bedroom windows also facing north, and two facing west, benefits from passive solar heating
The whole of the newest part is heated in winter by a 12kw output
Metro log burner with an auxiliary cooktop
The kitchen has a gas oven and five burner hob. Plenty of
cupboards, a large walk-in pantry with a separate door to the
outside, (handy for bringing in the groceries) and with a Miele
dishwasher and small water heater, which are the only items run
from the grid due to having heating elements
Large main bedroom - Queen size. Loads of cupboards and wardrobes
Rural views to Plateaus and Mount Ruapehu
Double room - Views to plateaus
Single room used as an office. Garden view
The bathroom contains a separate toilet room, a handbasin, large bath and a separate shower box
The original part of the house built in 1907 is included as part
of the main house. It has a large reception room with 12' stud, and with provision for a solar heated radiator. There is an adjacent bedroom. This reception is currently used as a guest bedsit or room for WOOFAS (folk who work on organic farms for their board and keep - usually for a couple of weeks at a time). It has room for a double and single bed. It has access to the verandah
The next oldest part of the house built mainly in 1933 is at present set
up as a fully equipped apartment - ideal
for a self catering homestay, or B&B business. It is still on
the grid, with a second all electric kitchen/dining room. It has
provision for the second water heated radiator. It also has a solid fuel
range, not currently in use due to need to replace overflow pipe and
replumb into the hot water cylinder
The apartment has a 1907 vintage sitting room with 12' stud. The
apartment is currently heated by a Klondike pot belly stove
This is a queen size ensuite bedroom, built in 1933. Superb mountain
view. French door to the verandah
