My vendors' instructions are clear: sell.

Set within a peaceful and private pocket just minutes from town, this captivating one-hectare property offers an exceptional blend of character, lifestyle and location. Surrounded by established native gardens and mature fruit trees, and framed by mountain and ocean vistas, it feels wonderfully secluded while being just 4km from Raglan.

Originally the beautifully crafted Somervell Church, the home has been thoughtfully transformed, retaining its rich heritage and distinctive charm. Elevated to capture sweeping views over the estuary to the iconic Mount Karioi, the outlook is simply breathtaking.

Generous open-plan living flows through expansive bifold doors onto sun-soaked decking, embraced by solid limestone walls that reflect the home's enduring strength. Character features abound; stained-glass windows, original timber flooring, and a classic clawfoot bath all pay homage to its past. The warm, welcoming kitchen with wooden benchtops is perfectly positioned for family connection and effortless entertaining.

A quaint, separate sleepout provides additional accommodation, while double garaging adds practicality. Outdoors, enjoy a heated plunge pool/spa, a secluded rear lounging area, and established vegetable gardens that enhance the lifestyle appeal.

Whether you're searching for a unique family sanctuary or an inspiring lock-and-leave escape, this remarkable property delivers with Elvis the alpaca included, ready to greet the next fortunate owner.
