THAT House on Dundas!! Iconic Grand Villa
If you know Sanson, you know 2b Dundas Road! Positioned directly opposite famous Viv’s Kitchen (fancy a world-renowned cream horn for lunch?), this iconic 4-bedroom villa is a local legend set on a sprawling, partially fenced 3,534m² section. Best of all? It’s vacant with immediate possession available—unwrap the key and unpack your boxes just in time to celebrate Christmas in your dream home!
Grand Character & Modern Comfort…
Step into the grand foyer, greeted by rich native timber and a magnificent chandelier. Accommodating four bedrooms—including a master with its own private ensuite, and one of the larger bedroom’s features French doors that open onto its own large, private decking. This extensively refurbished home showcases exquisite lead lights and bay windows at almost every turn, tiled bathrooms with a classic clawfoot bath, a separate laundry, a Healthy Homes cert, recently updated roof and guttering, partially double glazed and a central heating system ensuring year round comfort.
Living & Entertaining on a Grand Scale…
The vast open-plan kitchen, dining, and family room—anchored by a showstopping marble fireplace—is complemented by a huge separate lounge, offering flexible living spaces for the whole family. Step seamlessly from the main living hub onto an impressive 60m² (approx) covered deck—your ultimate year-round outdoor venue. The grounds feature raised garden beds, rainwater tanks, and a council-managed drip-feed system.
Incredible Space, Endless Parking & Bonus Buildings
•Bonus Sleepout: Complete with ranch-slider & small covered deck—ideal as a teen retreat, guest suite, art studio, or media room.
•Additional Timber Outhouse: Features its own deck and gates—perfect for a playhouse, office, craft space or luxury dog residence (think Great Danes!!).
•Endless Possibilities: With 3,534m² of land, bring your lifestyle dreams to reality! Set up a backyard cricket pitch, pop up rugby-goal posts, graze a sheep or two, bunnies, or dogs – the possibilities really are endless. The vast concrete driveway provides endless safe spaces for kids learning to ride bikes—or parking for 20+ cars (host weddings on your own front lawn!).
•Storage & Future Potential: Double garage, garden shed, plus scope to explore future subdivision potential (subject to council due diligence).
The previous owner loved vibrant colour—keep the fun artistic palette or add a fresh neutral coat to let this grand villa truly shine. Centrally located: 1 min to local school, 14 mins to Feilding, 19 mins to the airport/Plaza, 22 mins to Himatangi Beach, and under 2 hours to Wellington this location deserves your serious attention. Call me today to view your private rural paradise!

How we worked this out
| Council valuation, Jul 2025 | $845,000 |
|---|---|
| Market movement in Manawatu District since the council valuation | ±0.0% |
| How Sanson sells against council values | −1.1% |
| Homes of this age in Sanson | −0.1% |
| Homes in this price range | −0.3% |
| Land as a share of the value | −0.1% |
| Nearby recent sales (15) | +0.3% |
| Our estimate | $834,000 |
We start from the council's rating valuation, move it by how sales in the area have moved since against their own council values, then by how properties like this one, nearby sales have done against the same arithmetic. Each step is an average of real sales. Tested every month against sales we had not seen: half land within about 6% of our estimate, and about 8 in 10 within the range. This is an automated estimate, not a registered valuation.

Unclaimed
Nobody is tracking this property yet
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.
Free. Takes about a minute.
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.
What claiming gets you
1One live recordCouncil valuation, title details and registered interests, kept current rather than gathered again every time you need them.
2Your lending in the pictureAdd what you owe, or connect the bank, and the equity and LVR stop being a calculation you redo by hand.
3Providers compete for itPut the mortgage, the insurance and the power out to people who want the business — on your terms, when you ask.
4Everything else you ownOne search finds other titles in your name and in companies you are a director of.

Reading the council's maps…
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.
