Bush Retreat Near Raglan's Best Surf Breaks

Nestled in lush native bush on the slopes of Mount Karioi, this unique three-bedroom home feels like your very own DOC hut retreat.

Offering peace, privacy, and a true connection to nature, it's the perfect escape.

A surfer's dream location, the property has walking access to the Indicators surf break and is only a few minutes' drive from Manu Bay.

Despite its secluded feel, you're still just 10 minutes from Raglan township, 45 minutes to Hamilton, and approximately 2 hours from Auckland.

The home features an open-plan kitchen and living area that flows seamlessly onto a large deck surrounded by native bush.
There is a brand new log burner which keeps the place warm in the cooler months, there is a also a heat pump.
Two bedrooms and a bathroom are located on the ground floor, along with the convenience of two separate toilets.

Upstairs is a versatile loft-style space that could be used as a third bedroom, home office, or creative retreat.
This level opens onto its own elevated deck nestled amongst the trees - the perfect spot for your morning coffee while listening to the birdsong.

There is also a separate sleepout, providing additional flexibility as a guest room, office, studio, or extra bedroom.

The surrounding bush is alive with native birdlife, and it's not uncommon to see and hear tui, kererÅ«, and pëwakawaka throughout the day.

This property would best suit quiet tenants who appreciate the beauty and quirks of rural bush living.

Please note the home is on tank water and there is very patchy cell phone reception.

The driveway is steep and rutted in places, with no turning bay at the house its self, so confident reversing skills are essential and it may not be suitable for all vehicles.

If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind home that offers tranquillity, adventure, and an unbeatable connection to Raglan's iconic coastline, this could be the perfect fit.
