Welcome to 344 Hughes Line. Only minutes from both Masterton and Carterton this property is ideally positioned to give you a private tranquil retreat, with town amenities close at hand. Built in 2018 by the current owners this Landmark home has everything you could want......plus a little more.
An exceptionally well appointed kitchen holds the heart of the home with a butlers pantry any chef would love. Spacious living and dining areas lie either side of the kitchen, however the "piece de resistance" are the stacker doors leading to an outdoor entertaining area - the envy of many. With a retractable roof, designer fire place and kwila deck there will be many social occasions to be enjoyed. With a relaxing backdrop of established gardens including Roses, Specialist Rhododendrons, Azaleas and Japanese Maples, this is undeniably the place to unwind and enjoy the serenity of this premium location.
The house contains 3 bedrooms, with the master having a walk in robe and ensuite. There is also a utility room which could turn its hand to a 4th bedroom, rumpus, or just yet another chill out space. A separate family bathroom, WC and laundry complete the checklist of this home.
But we haven't even started. Outside is a 3 bay garage and workshop, which would make any vehicle enthusiast weak at the knees, plus an attached 3 bay open shed/carport/boatshed/mower home.
Set on a smidge over 3 ha, the property is named "Kukuwai" after the wetland area which has been lovingly regenerated and developed by the current owners. There is also a protected native stand at the rear of the property, which gives the ability to enjoy the attractions of numerous bird species in the trees and amphibious creatures in the wetland. There is still room to run a few stock if your heart desires and also potential to further develop.
