157B Otapouri Road, Owhango, Ruapehu, Whanganui

Set on an elevated 3.12 hectares, this appealing lifestyle property offers the perfect balance for those ready to move without giving up space, privacy, or connection to the land.

A lovely mix of established gardens, mature trees, and easy-care grazing creates a setting that feels settled and welcoming, with room for a few animals while remaining entirely manageable. The elevated position enhances both outlook and privacy, with birdsong and local wildlife providing a peaceful soundtrack to daily life.

The delightful 1990s home has been thoughtfully laid out with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms making it easy to host extended family or friends at a moments notice. Inviting living spaces allow gatherings to flow effortlessly and the multiple outdoor living areas give another dimension for entertaining or relaxation. The property also offers the opportunity to continue the very successful Airbnb operation that the owners have built over the years to a 'Super Host' status which is an indication of the care and pride they have in their home and why so many guests return. The circa 1895 'Jailhouse' is the original Tokaanu Jailhouse, built with native timbers and retaining some original features, provides a very comfortable stay for guests offering flexibility and optional supplementary income moving forward.

The property is complimented with generous off-street parking, a double carport provides cover to a generous workshop and office/storeroom. A large storage shed, animal shelter, small yards & hay/tack shed plus the greenhouse and firewood storage give you everything you could need on a lifestyle block of this size.

A genuine sense of seclusion here, yet not cut off with the village of Owhango nearby and the larger Taumarunui township within easy reach for services, shopping, and further community connections. There are plenty of attractions for one to enjoy in the region from walking tracks to mountain biking and from fishing to skiing there is something for everyone's sense of adventure.

This is a lifestyle that feels familiar yet lighter, space without the hard work, privacy without isolation. Ideal for those ready to enjoy the next chapter at their own pace.
