195 Purakaunui Road, Mihiwaka, Dunedin City, Otago

Welcome to Knuckleberry Farm, nestled into the northern slopes of Mount Cargill and overlooking Blueskin Bay. A sweeping gravel driveway welcomes you onto this 15.65 hectare (+/-) lifestyle block, with spectacular rural and ocean views opening out along the way.

This property has been designed to maximise sun, easy entertaining, family living and, of course, the views. A large, sociable open-plan living space with adjacent dining area and country-style kitchen welcome you into the home. The kitchen features warm wood detailing, stone benchtops and modern appliances, including double oven and combined induction and gas cooktop. Sliding doors provide seamless flow out onto a covered wraparound deck that offers a peaceful area to gather with friends and bask in the idyllic surroundings.

This home features five generous double bedrooms, including large master with full ensuite, walk-in wardrobe, and its own private deck access. Four further bedrooms all feature built-in storage, and are serviced by a modern family bathroom and two separate toilets. A second living room with deck access provides the perfect space for the kids to hang out, with the additional bonus of an upstairs loft retreat - this space is ideal as a rumpus room, home office, or potential sixth bedroom!

The living area is heated by a multi-fuel wood burner on wetback and heat pump, and double-glazing throughout plus an HRV system ensure the entire home is kept warm on the coldest of days. Real wood floors, excellent storage and a brand new roof, plus good-sized laundry, internally-accessed single garage, additional single garage and plenty of off-street parking complete the picture.

If you love the idea of serenity without the work of the land, the land is currently leased by the neighbours who graze their livestock across five fenced, undulating paddocks. Native plantings bring a variety of native birds to the property, while ponds and creeks create a natural stock water supply.
