75 Lachlan Avenue Lake Hawea, Queenstown Lakes District

Drive down the long driveway to this warm and inviting home on 1.55 hectares (3.7 acres) all fenced into five paddocks, where the children will love having a pony, sheep or goat or two. This family friendly 218m2 home with a vaulted wooden ceiling creates a warm glow in the open plan living area plus there's a second lounge that you can close off, great media room or teenage hangout.

Sliding doors open out to the patio and flat lawn, where you can keep an eye on the toddlers in the sandpit or playhouse. Four double bedrooms plus an office, space galore, even for the in-laws. The keen gardener will live off the land here with a large vege garden, greenhouse, a variety of berries growing, and ample water for irrigation from your own bore. Garaging the size of a small house (117m2) where you can park your boat under the 2.4 high door.

Enjoy the country life here but close enough to bike to the school or kindergarten, explore all the walks around and be part of this small friendly community.
