Description
If living lightly on the land while embracing comfort sits at the top of your wish list, this off-grid retreat in Ohauiti may be the lifestyle shift you’ve been searching for.
Set across 1.4815 hectares of elevated terrain, thoughtfully contoured with levelled areas and a geotech-approved house site, this property offers both outlook and opportunity. More than just a lifestyle block, it’s a quiet eco-sanctuary - where nature, simplicity, and comfort live in harmony. Mostly bordered by bush including areas of QEII covenanted native forest, the setting offers exceptional privacy, natural beauty, and a connection to conservation.
At its heart stands a beautifully crafted Tiny Home (unconsented) with double bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living space radiating warmth and modern convenience - a welcoming retreat, perfectly attuned to its natural surrounds. For those seeking to build, the Tiny Home may be relocated on the property, and the Geotech-approved house site offering the ideal foundation for a new consented dwelling tailored to your vision.
Purpose-built for true self-sufficiency, the home runs entirely off-grid, powered by a robust solar system with battery storage and backup generator. A rainwater harvesting system ensures your water needs are sustainably met, while eco-friendly composting toilets speak to a lifestyle that honours the environment and future generations.
Adjacent to the main dwelling, a covered shed with roller door and cladding over two shipping containers offers secure storage and houses the off-grid infrastructure - a clever solution where function meets form in an aesthetically pleasing way. Tucked further up the property, a second self-contained tiny home (unconsented) with open plan bedroom and living space with bathroom offering extra space for extended family or guests - a private haven within the haven.
For those with rural aspirations, the land is neatly divided into six well-fenced paddocks, complemented by brand-new stock yards and a load-out race - ideal for a small mob of sheep, goats, or alpacas. Whether you’re a hobby farmer or simply crave open space, this block supports a slower, more grounded way of life.
A 120sqm high-stud shed with workshop, gantry and chain hoist, plus a 48sqm lean-to, provides the ultimate holding space for the big toys - boats, bikes, or machinery - and all the room you need to tinker, build, or store with ease. Located near the welcoming Ohauiti and Oropi communities and the well-regarded Oropi School nearby, you’ll enjoy rural peace with a sense of connection.
If you're ready to unplug from the grid, escape the noise, and embrace a lifestyle that gives more than it takes, this isn’t just a home - it’s your blueprint for a better way of being.
