9 Stock Road is a Rural Retreat on The Edge of the Village

9 Stock Road Floor Plan

Surround yourself in privacy, native bird song, exotic and native plantings; all on the edge of the magical Matakitaki River.  

The 10 year old home is warm and comfortable with double glazing, heatpump and a freestanding woodfire that easily heats the whole house. The hotwater is supplemented with solar and a wetback on the fireplace.

The ground floor with easy care polished concrete has 2 double bedrooms, a semi-ensuite bathroom and the open plan living/kitchen/dining is conducive to country living with a natural flow to the covered patio area. 

On the top floor you will find a huge, bright and open loft area that could easily be closed in to create a couple more separate rooms. It’s the perfect spot for the home office, second living or more bedrooms.

The 1.5 hectares of land has options for a couple of paddocks with established trees providing lots of shelter. The large vegetable and fruit garden provides plenty of surprise to what can actually be grown and eaten in your own backyard.

This fantastic retreat has the convenience of being only 1km into the village to the cafe or grab the fishing rod and jump the fence to spend the morning trying to catch trout for dinner. 

This is an opportunity to secure your own piece of pure rural NZ paradise. 

Contact Brent today for more information, viewings are by appointment only.

Murchison is known as the ‘whitewater capital’ of the country, because there are rivers everywhere – the Gowan, Mangles, Matiri, Glenroy, Matakitaki, Maruia and the mighty Buller. From fishing to kayaking or just enjoying the lovely scenery of the rivers, there is so much to explore here.

It’s also the gateway to some great mountain bike trails and tramping tracks and the southern end of Kahurangi National Park.

Rural charm, natural beauty and once in a life time experiences are everything you can expect from Murchison, without the hustle of numerous chain stores, fast food franchises or tourist bus queues.

Murchison is the true definition of an undiscovered outdoor paradise, located in the top half of New Zealand’s South Island.  With an unassuming and unpretentious face, this small town is home to some truly unique and stunning activities, eateries, outdoor adventures.
