Escape to the country

Have you always dreamt of packing up and moving to the rural suburbs where the sense of freedom and lifestyle are the heart of the farming community? If so, then Parakao could be the place for you!

This lifestyle offers country living with the added self sufficiency aspects of growing your own fruit and veggies, harvesting the chicken eggs and maintaining the land by grazing a few animals.

Set back from the road and surrounded by mature gardens this spacious family home has everything you need. Farm style Kauri kitchen and dining is the hub of the home with views over endless rural pastures, the lounge is diverse with fire for winter and ranch slider out to the deck for summer.

The rest of the home has three double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a rumpus or second lounge offering more room for the family and the sunroom is a great addition for evening soaking in the spa or drying the washing on wet days. An internal access double garage has rooms for the cars or workshop to tinker, the drive through carport is perfect for the boat, and the driveway is so big it has parking for a truck.

Outside has plenty of room for the kids and pets to play, multiple vegetable beds, a pond for the ducks and a young orchard. The paddocks are fenced and easy to graze.

Just 37 km from the CBD of Whangarei and a 3 km drive to the Old Parakao cafe/bar, this rural location is becoming a popular choice for families when making the move to the country.

The vendors bought this as their dream home with the mindset of renovating, but plans change and they are on the move. It's time for you to finish what they started.
