This is the kind of home that takes you straight back.
Built in 1957 by the very family who have called it home ever since, this is more than just a house - it's a place where life has been lived properly. Where kids were raised, grandkids came to stay, and great grandkids ran across the same floors. It's been built with love, hard work, and the kind of care that only comes from true pride in home.
Set on one acre in the heart of the rich and tightly held Pyengana Valley, you're surrounded by rolling dairy country, fertile soil, and a way of life that hasn't rushed to keep up with the world.
Out the front, the wide verandah is exactly where it should be - made for a rocking chair, a cuppa, and watching tractors roll by instead of traffic. It's quiet out here. Properly quiet.
Inside, the home is generous in every sense. Four bedrooms, all a good old fashioned size - enough size to swing a cat as Grandma used to say. Two separate living areas give you space to spread out, while the kitchen, it's a proper country kitchen - and it's huge! Full of character, and ready for the next family to gather around and wait for the cakes to come out of the oven.
There's a wood heater for those crisp Pyengana winters, along with two reverse cycle air conditioners for year round comfort. The home has been reclad in recent years, keeping it solid and well cared for while still holding onto its heart.
Step outside and it just keeps getting better. Established fruit trees, old plantings, and outbuildings that have grown with the property over decades - everything you'd expect from a working country home that's been truly lived in.
And then there's the shed.
To call it a shed almost doesn't do it justice. Originally built as the local badminton hall, the full court still stands inside - a reminder of the days when the community came together right here at 506 St Columba Falls Road. Today it's used as a farm shed, but the scale, the height, and the sheer versatility of it is something you rarely, if ever, see with a residential sized property. You could use it for storage, workspace, hobbies, events or maybe, a revival of the Pyengana badminton competition!
Location wise, you're right where you want to be. In the heart of Pyengana's farming country, just minutes from local icons like the St Columba Falls and the Pub in the Paddock, and an easy drive through stunning countryside into St Helens for all your everyday needs.
This isn't a polished, modern showpiece - and it's not meant to be. It's warm. It's real. It's the kind of home our grandparents would recognise instantly and promptly tell you 'they don't build them like this anymore!'
If you've been waiting for something with soul, history, and room to make your own family memories, this might just be the one.This is the kind of home that takes you straight back.
