A house near Turakina was gutted by fire this morning.
The fire service was called to the rural property, on Cornfoot Rd, just after 11am. Crews from Marton, Bulls and Wanganui attended the blaze, which could be seen from many kilometres away.
No-one was home at the time of the fire, and no-one was injured. The Wanganui Chronicle understands the house was only recently sold.
Fire crews were hampered by a lack of water in the area. The cause of the blaze is not known.
