12 Raupo Lane, Ohakune, Ruapehu, Wanganui

So much thought has gone into this four-bedroom, two-bathroom home in the Mangateitei subdivision, just off Shannon Street in Ohakune. It was completed in August 2023 and the current owners love it so much they would build exactly the same design again, that's saying something. We all know the wonderful features that come with a brand-new and exceptionally well-built house. You can instantly feel the warmth when you walk into this home, but what amazed me was how quiet and still it is inside. There is a fabulous open-plan living area which is spacious and inviting with a huge skylight over the kitchen island where natural light floods in, and is heated by a very efficient Woodsman wood burner. There is also a separate lounge that takes in splendid views of Mt. Ruapehu and gets bathed in sunshine.

The large double garage has an attic and internal access to the house. A separate laundry and exceptional storage, wait until you see the hall cupboard storage space! Four bedrooms, one that is currently being used as the office, and a main bathroom with a heated mirror, no fogging up in here! The master bedroom is huge and has a walk-in wardrobe through to the ensuite.

Our vendors had great plans for a full-length deck along one side of the house, but that will now be left for new owners to create their own choice of outdoor living, where there are sliding doors from two of the bedrooms and the open-plan living room. There are many more features, so I highly recommend that you come and check this out for yourselves.

Absolutely fabulous!
