Modern Rustic Flair in Riwaka

If you're on the lookout for something a little bit special then this 1920's church conversion is definitely worth a look. Set upon 779sqm of private grounds with lush plantings and secure fencing, it offers a slice of semi-rural paradise less than 5km from Motueka.

This home has been lovingly renovated over the years with a fresh and modern feel that embraces the original features of exposed rafters and match lining. An expansive deck, french doors and ample flat lawn make this a great space to entertain friends and family on the long summer evenings. In the colder months you can cosy up by the wood burner or quickly warm the house with the recently installed heat pump.

Modern conveniences include double glazed roof windows, walk-in wardrobes and luxurious wool carpets in the upstairs bedrooms, stylish kitchen with feature windows, clawfoot bath and free standing shower. While most of the hard work has been done there is still the opportunity to put your own mark on this historic home.

Extra space for living, work, or play is covered with two insulated and powered studio spaces. One of which includes a mezzanine with room for a queen bed. The other outbuildings include a woodshed, tool shed and carport.

Best of all is the property's convenient location - walking distance to the village school, an easy commute to the high school, shops and cafes in the township and a gateway to the Abel Tasman National Park - this property is the perfect choice for families, or for purchasers looking to make changes to their current lifestyle by working from home.
