Set across 6.6 hectares of idyllic rolling Paparoa countryside on Te Pahi River Drive, this private property captures the essence of rural tranquility. The residence enjoys views across lush, established border, a pond, and pasture, frequented by native birdlife (hawks, pukekos).

The substantial 239 m² brick residence is designed for comfort. The sun-drenched open-plan living/dining area has bay windows and a wood-burner for efficient warmth. A separate dedicated room offers excellent versatility as a games room or second lounge. The kitchen blends character with practicality, featuring soft sage cabinetry and wide benches. This flows seamlessly into the highlight: the sun-room and enclosed deck. Complete with an outdoor kitchen, this is your premier year-round entertaining space. The primary suite is a quiet retreat with direct deck access, a walk in wardrobe and an ensuite. The main bathroom features a decadent claw-foot tub, timber flooring, and traditional fixtures, reinforcing the home's heritage style.

The 6.6ha features well-maintained fenced paddocks and crucial private river access for kayaks/small boats. The grounds boast serene lawns, mature trees, and gardens—ideal for hobby farming/grazing. Infrastructure includes an extensive orchard (quince, apple, peach, plum, avocado, lemon, pear, pumpkin), three 34,000L house tanks, a 25,000L dam trough for stock/orchard, an Eco worm septic, a chicken house, and a large wood shed. A fully self-contained one-bedroom sleepout (furniture included) with solar power provides immediate income potential.

Minutes from Paparoa village, with amenities and cafes within easy reach. Dargaville and Maungaturoto are comfortable drives away. The Kaipara Harbour offers fishing, kayaking, and scenic walks. This is a complete, well-appointed lifestyle package.
