The Funny Farm A Whimsical Slice of Country Charm

This is the opportunity buyers have been waiting for: a motivated vendor, a one-of-a-kind property and a home full of heart, functionality and character. Welcome to "The Funny Farm," a much-loved local icon built in the 1930s, nestled in the scenic Whangaripo Valley.

At the heart of the home lies a sunlit, functional kitchen perfectly positioned for a creative update. Envision transforming it into a dream culinary space that blends vintage charm with modern design. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the dining area and spacious family lounge leading to a large entertainer's deck and pool with tranquil views of lovingly tended gardens, bushland and rural views. The adjacent paddock is just waiting for fresh white lines, ready to come back to life as a tennis court, adding another layer to the property's remarkable versatility.

A second living area offers flexibility as a kids' lounge, guest retreat or a work-from home haven. Whether you need a quiet office or extra family space this additional area enhances the home's practical appeal.

There are four generously sized bedrooms including a unique master suite in the turret with its walk-in wardrobe, spacious en-suite and private deck offering panoramic rural views. This is your personal sanctuary to unwind and escape.

Outdoor living is a dream. Enjoy summer evenings around the fire pit, entertain on the deck or roam nearly 2ha of mostly flat pasture perfect for grazing stock or expanding your gardening ambitions.

The American-style three-bay barn is ideal for storing a boat, toys or a tradie to run a business from home. An additional barn with its own entrance offers exciting potential, boutique accommodation, a creative studio or a teen retreat.

Located in the warm and welcoming Whangaripo Valley community just a short drive to Wellsford, Matakana, nearby beaches and golf courses.
