Your Own Little World

Tucked amongst the trees on 2,038m² (more or less), this cedar home feels like a little escape of its own — private, peaceful and wonderfully green, yet still within walking distance of so much of Featherston. Built in the 1990s, the 100m² home offers three bedrooms, one bathroom and easy, comfortable living. Decking flows from the living and dining areas, creating an extra “room” through the warmer months — perfect for long lunches, evening drinks or simply sitting back and listening to the locals. And by locals, we mean tūī, kererū, korimako, ruru, fantails and plenty more. The garden is a big part of the magic here. Established natives and exotics create privacy and shelter, while productive vege beds and fruit trees are already in place. There’s room to potter, explore, grow things or find a quiet corner and disappear for a while. Inside, two heat pumps and an efficient wood burner keep things cosy through winter and cool through summer. There’s also a shower the current owners reckon is the best they’ve ever had — a bold claim, but one the next owner gets to put to the test. Outside, a single garage with workshop space, additional shed storage, a carport and further off-street parking give you plenty of room for vehicles, tools, projects and all the extras that tend to come with a property of this size. Despite the feeling of seclusion, you're far from isolated. Barr-Brown Reserve is nearby, with its mataī and tōtara treetops visible from the front door, while the train station, doctor, community centre, sports facilities and town are all within walking distance. After 11 years here, the current owners will tell you there’s plenty they'll miss — the birdlife, the garden, the privacy, the deck and the warmth of the home. But perhaps most of all, they'll miss being part of the Featherston community. A home amongst the trees, with town just down the road.
