47 Tame Porati Street, Manakau, Horowhenua, Manawatu

Check out the 3D Virtual Tour and find out if this home could become your Labour of Love.

Located at the top end of the street with loads of privacy & oriented for sun, you will find a home that was once the centre of many cherished family times. Built in 1982 & architecturally designed for passive solar heating, sitting on just over an acre in the beautiful Manakau township.

Sure, the home needs some TLC to bring her back to her former glory & into this century, but the bones are good, and the rewards will be yours to reap.

Inside are 3 bedrooms, 2 living areas, 1 bathroom & plumbing for an incomplete ensuite, separate laundry, a fun mezzanine floor & loft spaces, the kitchen is centred to form the hub of the home & is surrounded by the living areas. Wonderful native timbers have been used throughout including Kauri tongue & groove ceilings & large floor to ceiling windows let in loads of natural light.

With Slate thermal mass floors designed to capture heat during the day, then release for the evening as well as insulation from Cork board sourced from the Gear Meatworks in Petone, a Solartech system including a wetback for water heating, the home stays warm & efficient during the colder winter months.

Triple car garaging with workshop space means you can store, work & tinker on the property & the many established trees in the orchard on the side of the hill will provide an opportunity to grow, nurture & produce.

Orange, Lemon, Avocado, Walnut, Macadamia, Tamarillo, Apple, Pears, Grapefruit, Crab Apple, Grapes, Tangelo, Peach & Feijoas are all waiting to be pruned & harvested, and garden beds with Roses, Camellia, Rhododendrons & Spring Bulbs are yours to be tendered & admired.

What an opportunity for the energetic, forward thinking and aspiring self-sufficient dreamer to realise.
