A Lower Moutere Gem

This charming lifestyle property captures the essence of country living, with all the comforts of a well-loved home. Set on an acre of well-maintained gardens and less than a 10-minute drive from Motueka, this character-filled home offers space, sunshine, and sweeping views across the garden to the mountains beyond.
Originally built in 1952, the home has been carefully maintained, holding onto many of its original features while leaving room for new owners to bring their own touch. Inside, it’s warm and inviting, with two light-filled levels designed to make the most of the north-facing aspect. Sunshine streams into the living areas, where large windows frame the ever-changing outlook and create a peaceful, uplifting atmosphere throughout the day.
There are four double bedrooms and one single bedroom currently used as an office, along with a separate room that works well as a walk-in wardrobe or extra storage. Two bathrooms serve the household, and the living spaces are well positioned to enjoy the sun and views — ideal for quiet evenings or lively get-togethers.
Outside, the good life continues. A gazebo, spa deck, and outdoor shower add something a little special, while the spacious grounds offer plenty of room for pets to roam, kids to play, and everyone to enjoy the outdoors. A grand old Oak with rope swings has been a favourite for years, and the mature mulberry tree, heavy with fruit in summer, is a seasonal highlight.
The double garage and workshop are complemented by a lean-to with two lockable storage areas and ample plumbing, including a service area and ablutions for added convenience.
A separate outdoor cabin with power and internet is currently set up as a home office but would also make a great studio, hobby room, or small sleepout.
There’s also a large, high-stud shed, screened by mature trees and shrubs, ideal for storing campervans, boats, or caravans.
The property is within easy walking distance of two sought-after primary school - Lower Moutere School and Motueka Rudolf Steiner School. Surrounded by a welcoming community, it offers a rare mix of rural peace and everyday practicality.
If you’ve been searching for a lifestyle property with character, charm, and room to grow, 23 School Road is a must-see.
