Close enough for convenience yet far enough for privacy, space and a true rural lifestyle, this property is a rare and versatile opportunity. Located right next to the Mercury Bay Golf course, it offers consented cottages for tourist accommodation, provisions for campervans, and the scope to host large events. This provides multiple income streams alongside an enviable way of life.
Built in 2001 from timbers sourced from the local waterways farm, the main lodge is clad in warm, earthy timber that fills the home with natural charm. Cathedral ceilings create a sense of space throughout, while two raised fireplaces (one with wetback) bring warmth and atmosphere to the lounges.
This spacious home features six bedrooms, including one with its own shower and basin, and two with full ensuites complemented by a main family bathroom and separate toilet. The master suite, lined with rich Macrocarpa, includes a generous walk-in wardrobe and a private ensuite. A striking spiral staircase leads to a mezzanine loft, complete with its own walk-in wardrobe and excellent built-in storage, currently configured as a bedroom/office. Also adding to the home's versatility is an office (currently used as a bedroom) with a separate ensuite for extra convenience.
Entertaining is at the heart of the design, with a grande chef's kitchen showcasing soaring ceilings, a central stone benchtop, butler's sink, bespoke cabinetry, and bifold windows that open out to the expansive wraparound decking and alfresco areas. A dedicated games room elevates the social spaces, complete with a handcrafted Swamp Kauri bar, stone-surrounded fireplace, grande glass doors, and serene lily pond views.
Practicality has not been overlooked, with a separate laundry, ample storage, internal-access garage, and modern conveniences including double glazing, 7 water tanks, a water filtration system, and abundant shedding. A large workshop and covered bays provide space for tractors, boats, or extra vehicles.
The 10.1665 ha site (mol) is equally impressive, featuring:
- A 6-bay milking shed/creamery, once producing milk and cheese for the local community
- Provisions for campervan parking (subject to consent)
- Fenced storage yards and a commercial shed at the front of the property offering rental income. (Subject to consent)
- All cottages are self-contained, have a separate driveway and are income producing - a current rental appraisal is available.
- Established fruit trees, animal grazing paddocks, and a picturesque tree-lined driveway.
The vendor would prefer the buyer purchase the business, land and dwellings as a package.
All this is located just five minutes from Whitianga township, creating a unique balance of seclusion and accessibility. With lifestyle, accommodation, and commercial potential, this is a property for a new owner with vision to unlock its full future. Don't hesitate, this property must be viewed!
