There is something undeniably special about arriving here.
Hidden away in the hills beyond Brighton, with ocean views, established forestry, and a profound sense of peace, this 29.9207 hectare Kuri Bush property offers a lifestyle that feels both beautifully removed and remarkably practical - lifestyle living without the workload.
Designed as a true retreat, this generously proportioned three-bedroom dwelling prioritises privacy, warmth, and connection to its natural surroundings. Large windows and carefully considered living spaces invite the outdoors in, capturing changing light, expansive views, and the calm that defines this setting.
At the centre of the home, a quality kitchen anchors the open-plan living and dining, with two separate lounge areas offering flexibility for both entertaining and quiet retreat. Designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living, the main living space extends to expansive kwila decks on both the north and south sides, allowing you to follow the sun throughout the day.
The home is fully off-grid and set up for comfortable, year-round living. A Rayburn fire forms the backbone of the heating system, providing cooking, hot water, and radiator heating throughout the home, supported by solar power, gas cooking and hot water, double glazing, and generous insulation.
A substantial 13.5m x 9m outbuilding adds scale and versatility, with double bay garaging, a storage room, and a dedicated music studio. Expansive parking areas and a dog run complete the practical aspects of the property.
Native plantings around the home attract diverse birdlife and soften the surrounding landscape, contrasting beautifully with the established forestry that provides privacy and shelter. With the beach just 4km away, Brighton village only 8km from the property, and Dunedin Airport approximately 17km away, the lifestyle on offer is both peaceful and well connected.
The land adds a compelling dimension. Approximately 25.7 hectares of established radiata pine provide scale, privacy, and a significant underlying asset. With the forest now approximately 19 years from planting, there is flexibility to harvest or hold, with the greatest value growth forecast over the coming decade, offering a level of financial optionality rarely found in lifestyle properties.
Private, peaceful, and positioned to capture the best of its coastal setting, this is a rare combination of lifestyle, scale, and underlying value.
Offered for sale by auction, this is a rare opportunity that demands your attention.
