Historic Wairarapa Homestead, ICA Road, Whareama.
ICA is a Historic Wairarapa Homestead located in the vibrant rural district of Whareama approximately 30 minutes’ drive from Masterton
The Reverend John Chapman Andrew purchased 18,200 acres being the southern portion of Castlepoint Station in 1864.
A classical scholar Mr Andrew used Greek symbols for his initials on his wool bales and since the Greek Alphabet I and J are the same – the name ICA evolved.
The original homestead built in 1866 was totally lost to fire in 1895
and the homestead was rebuilt to the same design incorporating the original chimneys completed in 1901.
Parson Andrew, as he was known, passed away in 1907 and ICA Station was then subdivided into five blocks.
Step forward over 100 years and today ICA homestead sits on 78.9 hectares of valuable flats.
A New Zealand Historic Places Trust registered homestead ICA had a major restoration
carried out in 1976 and has just had a total renovation completed.
ICA will appeal to those seeking the charm of yesteryear and the confidence of modern day family living.
ICA has multiple living areas, five large bedrooms, three bathrooms and double internal entry garage being approximately 430m2.
The impeccably finished interior features wood paneling, a 12-foot stud, huge storage space, French doors and sash windows.
From the security gate the semi enclosed drive in leads to the buildings which include the 1866 built three bedrooms India House and Whare.
There are numerous other improvements including a large modern high stud shed, stables and full size dressage arena.
The mature grounds exude privacy and seclusion and are in keeping with the long history of ICA featuring brick patios, grand sweeping steps, box hedges, and a more recent beautiful heated swimming pool.

This helmet cam footage is from my old camera that got the boot shortly after this recording!
So apologies for the bad quality, bad angle and terrible sound (if you can handle the horrid wind noise loud - you can hear me talking).
Enjoy

Find your place at this magnificent Wairarapa lifestyle property, on the edge of town but with a glorious sense of a world away from it all and abundant trees planted across 4.8 hectares. A grand looping driveway leads to the historic rimu house, dating from the 1880s and relocated from the Lake Ferry area about 40 years ago. The front of the dwelling is original, with rear living spaces added later. Insulated, with a well maintained exterior, the house features a deep front verandah which wraps around the west side. The ground floor includes a bedroom, comfortable family/TV room, and a formal lounge flowing to the dining area and through to a kitchen and parlour with log burner. The kitchen features a double dish drawer, modern oven and a view to the brick courtyard with garden arch and shady pergola to escape summer heat. The bathroom has a large shower, while a second toilet and separate laundry add convenience. From the two upstairs bedrooms with walk-in wardrobing, gaze through large windows across the lush treetops of the arboretum planted for autumn splendour and rows of perfect topiary.
A former garage and potter's workshop at the rear of the house has been converted to a spacious art studio or home income space, with a sunny mezzanine room at the top of the stairs. Beyond the free-standing carport is a relocated cottage also brimming with history.
It was rescued as derelict from Dannevirke and a mystery man called 'Harold' carved his name on the wall in 1896. Newspaper that used to line the walls is framed as a reminder of its past. The cottage is now a comfortable and practical self-contained space for visiting family or friends.
The magic continues in the hidden circular rose garden and the dark stand of pines dubbed `The Gruffalo Woods' by visiting children. Topiary and box hedging have been meticulously planned, planted and maintained, all trimmed to perfection. A sprawling west lawn is perfect for garden parties or weddings, the various areas of the property offering something for every taste. An aerial photograph shows off its smart lay-out and exact garden zones. It could be described as a patchwork story of perfection, from the green of living trees, to the characterful buildings made of precious wood. The parkland and woods include well over 2,500 exotic trees of some 27 different species and cypress shelterbelts. A hazelnut block consists of almost 400 mature, crop-producing trees. With easy access to the train station, Wellington city is just 1.5 hours away by rail or car. The property is minutes from central Masterton, with all its town facilities and services. Wairarapa wineries, mountain trails and boutique shopping towns are all close by, with the rugged east coast and beach resorts a comfortable day-trip away. Enjoy all this before returning to the magnificent tree-lined oasis on West Bush road.
