Listing # 1973136 | Listed on 16 August

Turn through the automatic gates at 36b Farquharson Road, and the lifestyle starts before you even reach the home. A sweeping, tree-lined driveway welcomes you in, revealing a striking barn-style home designed by Harrison Lane, its dark cladding and high-pitched rooflines set against 5.5 hectares (more or less) of flat, well-fenced land, framed by native bush and rolling farmland.
Three separate living areas give real flexibility, perfect for multi-generational living or simply extra space for everyone. With a wood burner on each level, both are warm and welcoming year-round.

Upstairs is a private retreat. One bedroom, an office, and a fully tiled bathroom with a freestanding bath and a walk-in shower. The living area opens under a vaulted timber ceiling, with a sunny north-facing outlook and its own wood burner, flowing out to a large deck overlooking the property. There's also a timeless country kitchen, warm with timber finishes and built for everyday living.
Downstairs, the architecture really comes into its own. High stud ceilings, vaulted timber lines, polished concrete floors with underfloor heating, and barn-style doors throughout- every detail considered and built to last. It's a home that photographs beautifully but feels even better in person.

This level starts with a separate studio, complete with its own kitchenette, lounge, bathroom and entrance, ideal for extended family or guests. From there, three further bedrooms, two with ensuites, plus a separate toilet. There's a large second kitchen here too, well suited to entertaining or catering for extended family, along with a laundry and utility room. From the laundry, there's direct access through to a huge workshop garage, with three external roller doors of its own for easy outside access, perfect for vehicles, boats, or whatever you need the space for.

The home runs on mains power, with solar panels across the roofline and battery storage helping to bring the power bills down.
Outside, the property has real farm infrastructure. Three water sources from: water tanks, a bore and a spring. Two open bay sheds, one set up as stables, three tunnel houses, and a 70 x 40 arena, ideal for the equestrian-minded after something a step above hobby scale.
The land is flat and well fenced, framed by pockets of native bush. There's a chicken coop for fresh eggs, fruit trees, and stock yards for cattle and sheep.

This is a rare chance to buy an architecturally striking, well-designed lifestyle property with space for the whole family.
Close to Drury, Ramarama, Ararimu, Bombay, Pukekohe East, Clevedon, Hunua.
