There's something wonderfully restorative about a place where the forest becomes part of everyday life. Encompassed in native bush, with winding paths inviting you to wander beneath the trees, this three-bedroom Kamo lifestyle property at 48 Forest View Road offers a world of its own. With two bathrooms, a separate studio, sauna and established permaculture gardens, it's a place to slow down and reconnect with nature.

Inside, soaring timber ceilings and exposed beams bring warmth and character, while generous glazing frames the greenery beyond. A freestanding wood burner keeps winter evenings cosy, and the dining area opens to the garden. The kitchen combines ample cabinetry, dark benchtops and leafy outlooks, keeping daily life connected to the outdoors.

Three bedrooms enjoy peaceful garden outlooks, while contemporary bathrooms with glass showers and a dedicated laundry add practicality. The substantial studio offers flexibility for creative pursuits, working from home or wellness activities, complete with an attic, bathroom and dedicated yoga area.

Outside is where the magic truly unfolds. Forest paths meander through native bush, creating a peaceful retreat for morning walks and quiet moments beneath the canopy. Established gardens have been nurtured through organic, spray-free permaculture practices, with a productive orchard and food forest, vegetable gardens and greenhouse laying the groundwork for anyone drawn to greater self-sufficiency. Sweeping lawns, a pond with timber deck and generous entertaining areas add to the charm, while a separate timber-lined sauna offers another way to unwind.

For all its seclusion, Kamo Village provides cafés, shops, supermarkets and everyday services, with Te Kamo High School and central Whangārei within reach. It's a rare opportunity to embrace an established, nature-led lifestyle where much of the groundwork has already been done. Contact Ian Sharp to arrange a viewing.
