Country Cottage - 1 Bedroom - Dovedale OPEN HOME - this SUNDAY 11am - for 30mins only. Property is set at the end of quiet country road, with a great rural outlook. Located in Dovedale a great rural community (primary school, hall). It takes roughly 10-15mins to drive to Upper Moutere being a larger rural hub - (store, fish'n chips, service station, pre-school, primary school, community centre exist). A further 15mins sees you in either Richmond or Motueka where full services exist. An alternate route from the Cottage - is 15-20mins to Wakefield, over the Dovedale saddle but this is a rougher gravel and windy road. Enjoy a new deck that captures the sun and provides indoor/outdoor flow, great for summer BBQs and relaxing in a very private rural setting. The Cottage is "off the grid", powered largely by solar and gas, with a petrol generator as a back-up for extended cloudy days/or winter months. Smart use of the solar is needed over winter months to preserve battery capacity and reduce reliance on the generator, plus limit multiple electrical appliances being run at the same time. Water is sourced from rain and spring water & smart usage is needed over summer months. The cottage has a new 5yr old shower and a larger older triangular bath. The Cottage has a large free-standing firebox, recently serviced with new internal lining bricks & chimney. The recent tenants have kindly offered to leave some firewood for new incoming tenants. Recarpeted and internally painted around 5 years ago, the cottage is in a tidy state, with gas hob and gas fridge provided. A basic drive-in carport, provides a 1 car vehicle storage base - which includes a very basic but functional laundry area. The property is at the entrance to a working farm, with the owner occasionally passing through to check cattle. Some tolerance of livestock in adjoining paddocks is needed from time to time, although impact on tenants is low. Pets will be considered, although with farms adjoining - dogs need to be 100% stock-safe and any cats non-hunters/wanderers, as a bush/pest management program is operating 1km away. Seeking a tenant that likes a quiet rural setting, wants to live in a great rural community and has some self-reliance to manage being off the grid.
