Over 90per cent of Aramonga is classified as tractor country capable of supporting a wide variety of rural pursuits.

Not a pin is out of place on a pristine 16-hectare (40-acre) rural lifesyle farm a 25 minute drive east of Whanganui in the Okirae/Whangaehu catchment.

If presentation and quality is a priority then this property has to be on the must-see list.

"Over 90per cent of Aramonga is classified as tractor country, capable of supporting a wide array of rural pursuits," Bayleys Real Estate marketing agent Knud Bukholt said.

"The homestead has no corner left untouched, tastefully painted native timber panelling is a common feature throughout this meticulously presented home. A cosy log fire with cook top and oven, plus a wetback is situated in the kitchen/dining area.

"The positioning of the house and covered verandas provide for indoor/outdoor living, year round.

Water is supplied via an artesian bore shared across three properties, ensuring a good stock supply.

This appealing and unique property offers a variety of options for a semi-retired farmer, keen lifestyler looking for a larger block, or shepherd looking for a rural base.

The property is for sale with offers closing at 2pm on Thursday, December 15.
