Tucked away at the end of a private lane, this home sits amongst just over ten hectares of preserved native bush and gentle grazing land. It’s peaceful here - surrounded by birdsong, established native plantings, and the feeling of being tucked into your own slice of wild New Zealand. The current owners have poured love into the land, planting around 10,000 natives and approximately 80 fruit trees, the property feels alive, growing and full of future harvests.
The home itself is something special. Curved in form and rich in natural raw materials, it’s warm and welcoming with exposed brickwork, Douglas Fir timber features and soft light spilling through the dormer windows above. It’s spacious too - approximately 460sqm in total - thoughtfully laid out with flowing levels and multiple places to gather, unwind, and simply enjoy being home.
French doors open into a generous rustic entrance foyer with vaulted, timber-sarked ceilings. From here, the living areas blend seamlessly together, anchored by the character-filled country kitchen at the heart of the home. It features macrocarpa bench tops, a walk-in pantry, wood-burning range, and breakfast bar dining. This space adjoins the open-plan dining area. Three lounges occupy much of the lower level, offering places to spread out while still feeling connected. Year-round comfort is well covered with four heat pumps and one gas fireplace.
There are four bedrooms in total. The primary suite is oversized and private, with a picturesque elevated outlook and its own ensuite. The two upstairs bedrooms are also generous in scale, sharing a jack-and-jill bathroom - ideal for family or guests. The downstairs bedroom has its own lounge and bathroom, lending itself well to multi-generational living. There is an additional family bathroom with three showers and water closet plus a separate laundry.
The layout of this home and its private position allow for a multitude of lifestyle options: large family living, small family with frequent visitors, Airbnb, bed and breakfast, retreat centre, café/restaurant, or a creative business base (subject to council approval). The current owners have operated a gift shop and hosted team-building courses, for example.
Outside, a covered verandah runs the full length of the home - perfect for slow breakfasts, evening chats, or simply watching the tui and kereru move through the bush. It’s a true all-season living space.
There’s a large covered area with 36 solar panels that could evolve into additional shedding or business use, plus a double garage and cattle yards. The land offers so much to explore - meandering bush tracks, paddocks for grazing, a freshwater pond/lagoon, two small cabins, and peaceful camping spots beside the running stream. There’s room here for a pony, pets, veggie gardens, play spaces, and outdoor adventure.
This is the kind of property that grows with you - where the days move slower, the air smells of earth and leaves, and home feels like a sanctuary. A lifestyle for those who value nature, privacy, and space to breathe.
