46 Simpson Road is an architecturally designed cedar-clad three bedroom home that is a haven of nature and privacy, 10 kilometres from Whanganui city, in the suburb of Westmere. This needs to be seen to be fully appreciated.

Native bush with walkways, streams, waterfalls and glow worms. Designed with a north and south wing off a central living/dining and kitchen area. Stunning high vaulted cedar ceilings are a feature of this home. The north wing comprises two generous bedrooms, a beautiful modern bathroom with separate toilet and spacious laundry. Opening to the two and a half sized garage with internal access.

A spacious living area wraps around a large family kitchen. The kitchen area overlooks a spring fed lake and native bush. This area includes a new wood burner with stunning river stone surround that will keep you cosy in the cooler months. The main bedroom, en suite and study make up the completely private south wing. The main room has floor to ceiling double glazed views over an ample deck of the Titoki and other trees and birdlife across the gully. The study has its own recently installed character woodfire with a beautiful river stone surround.

From the driveway a path leads to the lake and beyond to a bush clad gully including several natural water springs and featuring many natives including very old Titoki, Tawa, Lancewood, Rewarewa and Pukatea. The tracks allow access to springs that are home to a spectacular glow worm show every night. The native bush is a home to native birdlife with Fantails, Bellbirds, Tui, Morepork, Kingfishers, Grey warblers, Pukeko and Keruru.

The property was built in 1993 and was originally a commercial nursery, in addition to the home there is a huge commercial hothouse, a very large garage and a large shade house. A recently planted orchard includes several varieties of plums, pears and feijoas and will produce more than enough fruit for several families. This 290 sq m (more or less) property overlooks a spring fed lake and two hectares of native bush.
