Space for the Family — and All the Extras
If space, storage and a bit of room to spread out are high on your list, this 2.8-acre (1.16ha) lifestyle property near Sanson is well worth a look. Set back from State Highway 3 with a peaceful rural outlook and offering the convenience of being close to town. With two paddocks, plenty of shedding and an updated 1950's home, there's room here for the family, cars, recreational vehicles and all the practical bits that come with country living.
The four-bedroom home has been updated along the way, with three bedrooms having their own external access, plus a separate study. The open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge is the main hub, complete with a wetback fireplace and sliding doors opening to a welcoming deck. A second lounge/sunroom provides another versatile living space and opens to a sunny private deck overlooking the yard, where you can watch the children play. The family bathroom has a separate bath and shower, while a second shower and toilet sit alongside the laundry. A handy mudroom adds to the practicality.
The shedding is a standout feature. There's a double garage with electric door and storage room, a long single garage with workshop, a two-bay hay shed and a substantial five-bay implement shed, with enclosed bays offering concrete floors and power. There's plenty of scope for storing cars, boats, machinery, recreational vehicles and general gear, while the workshop will appeal to those who like to have space to work on their own projects. Add the children's playhouse, established fruit trees, vege garden and fenced area for the dogs, and the property has plenty to keep everyone occupied. Three concrete water tanks provide good water storage, with an electric entrance gate adding convenience and security.
Location is another real advantage. You're a few mins from Sanson, 10 mins to Ohakea, 16 mins to Feilding and just 20 mins Palmerston North. Positioned on State Highway 3, the home sits well back from the road, providing a peaceful setting with little road noise. It's a practical lifestyle property with manageable land, ample accommodation and, most importantly, the sort of shedding that's increasingly hard to find. If this sounds like what you have been looking for, get in touch today for a viewing or to enquire about the next open home.

Building consents
We hold no building consents for this property yet. The council may hold records we have not seen.
If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.
We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.
Zoning and hazards

What could you build here?
See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
