The original Mahunga Farm homestead, a four-hectare lifestyle property, is located just fifteen minutes from Kaikoura. This 473sqm north-facing residence built in 1915, has been lovingly restored throughout.
Positioned to capture breathtaking views of the Kaikoura Ranges from every room, this sprawling residence offers abundant space with five bedrooms, four bathrooms, formal and informal living areas, and a large modern farmhouse-style kitchen with walk in pantry.
Recent renovations include new roof, weatherboards, rewiring, and plumbing, whilst preserving original character in the entrance hall and library/smoking room.
The expansive kwila deck overlooks manicured lawns, a solar-heated inground pool, and outdoor entertainment area. In Winter months, the snowy peaks of the Kaikoura Ranges provide a stunning ever-changing backdrop, while clear nights offer spectacular stargazing.
Year-round comfort is ensured by a smart central heating system, wood and gas fires, and heat pump.
An additional guest cottage is situated in the garden, equipped with its own bathroom and veranda.
The property enjoys a sheltered microclimate, ideal for the abundance of fruit trees including pear, lemon, orange, apple, peach, walnut, apricot, and quince along with vegetable gardens. Paddocks for sheep, a meandering stream, and space for chickens, adds to the self-sustaining nature of the farm.
Practical amenities include a three-bay shed with a workshop (featuring a mechanic's pit) and ample storage for vehicles and boats.
Kaikoura's South Bay, a 15-minute drive, offers easy boat launching for fishing and diving. Neighbouring hills provide opportunities for hunting, and the Kaikoura Golf Club is just 12 minutes’ drive.
With its stunning setting, Mahunga homestead also has potential as a high-end B&B or wedding venue.
This extraordinary property offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of New Zealand's heritage in one of the most picturesque outlooks.
