Tucked away in a quiet, private valley, yet only a short drive from Helensville and Waimauku, 93 Alf Access Road is a rare find that combines peace, practicality, and natural beauty. The journey up the winding driveway, past fragrant lavender, sweeping paddocks, and pockets of native forest, immediately sets the tone for what lies beyond-a home and property designed for enjoyment, connection, and relaxation.
The main house, a lovingly restored 1930s residence, blends timeless character with modern conveniences. Light-filled open-plan living spaces flow seamlessly, anchored by a wood burner and complemented by two heat pumps, making it cozy in winter and comfortable in summer. Cooking is effortless with a gas hob and electric oven, and the home's three bedrooms and two bathrooms provide ample space for family life or hosting guests. A wraparound verandah and breezeway create sheltered outdoor spaces to unwind while taking in the changing rural landscape.
Set just beyond the main house, a 2020-built garage and studio provides additional versatility, whether for hobbies, creative work, or a private home office. A full laundry area has been thoughtfully incorporated here, adding everyday practicality. Outside, a pergola with a built-in fire pit and pizza oven forms the perfect alfresco setting, ideal for summer gatherings or quiet winter evenings under the stars.
A legal, self-contained minor dwelling, also constructed in 2020, offers a completely private retreat set well apart from the main home. With double glazing throughout, two bedrooms, a central bathroom, and a spacious open-plan living area, it delivers both comfort and independence. A heat pump ensures year-round ease, while the adjoining deck, its own garden shed, and an outdoor firepit create a relaxed setting for extended family, visitors, or rental income opportunities.
The property itself stretches across two hectares, carefully designed to blend lifestyle with productivity. Eight fenced paddocks currently accommodate alpacas and sheep, and there's scope to expand. Gardens and a permaculture-inspired food forest provide a bounty of seasonal produce, from figs, citrus, stone fruits, pip fruits, almonds, macadamias, and olives to an asparagus bed and a variety of kitchen herbs. Lavender, both French and English varieties, adds color and scent, while a small vineyard of Syrah and Pinot Gris sits alongside a charming pétanque court, creating an inviting space for leisurely summer evenings.
Thoughtful infrastructure underpins life here. Mains electricity and LPG ensure reliable energy for cooking and hot water, while rainwater is collected in multiple tanks and treated with UV systems. Two ponds supply water for stock and horticulture, and efficient wastewater systems are integrated seamlessly into the landscape. Extras like a solar-powered lavender workshop, dedicated irrigation, a grape press, carboys, and well-planned utility sheds support both hobby farming and sustainable living.
93 Alf Access Road is more than just a home-it's a complete lifestyle. Every aspect of the property has been crafted to offer a connection with nature, self-sufficiency, and the freedom to enjoy life at your own pace, all while being close to local amenities, beaches, wineries, and adventure destinations.
