1212 State Highway 1, Warkworth, Rodney, Auckland Historical Home and Income on 2.7ha

Opportunity of a lifetime to purchase a piece of history dating back to 1868 offering potential for Home and Income or Multi Generational living. "Wech Cottage" underwent restoration in 2008 at which time it was insulated (under and over) plus an HRV system and Heat Pump were added making this adorable piece of history toasty warm, dry and fully secured. The kitchen is cozy and inviting with original kauri floorboards where you can choose to cook in the modern appliances or utilise the original cast iron stove with it's own chimney. Lovers of stained glass, kauri ceilings and return verandahs will not be disappointed and the bathroom has an extra deep free-standing bath for a good hot soak. Set on 2.7ha of gently sloping land the grounds include an incredible mature orchard with a huge variety of fruit and nut trees, a large vegie area, a sweeping driveway sheltered by age-old trees and enough grazing for a couple of cattle or some sheep/alpacas. Several ancillary buildings including the old bath-house and old school class room are privately dotted about, and each has a story to tell. A complimentary minor dwelling with double garaging and decking was added and fully signed off in 2010 with modern amenities and a wood burner bringing the property to it's current compliancy where it has been thoroughly enjoyed by the family since. This historical property offers massive storage and further potential in a fairytale setting, situated on the old SHWY 1 within 5 minutes of Warkworth, 15 minutes to Orewa and 30 minutes to the Shore.
