Set on a private, elevated 7-hectare block among picturesque Poplar trees and across from the stunning Lake Lopez, this estate offers multiple dwellings, workshops, and commercial premises - perfect for those seeking a lifestyle with income potential, or those looking to accommodate extended family in a shared yet private setting.

Main Dwelling (Built 2015) The centrepiece of the property is a spacious lodge-style home, designed to maximize natural light and to take in the views over Lake Lopez in the winter. Featuring vaulted ceilings with exposed timber beams, the open-plan living area flows seamlessly into a custom-made kitchen with extensive work surfaces and a huge custom Oregan centre island - ideal for entertaining. The home boasts three double bedrooms, two stylish, luxurious bathrooms, ample storage, and a swim spa, offering both comfort and luxury. A standalone craft studio with views up Waimarama Road for the artist or gardener.

Additional Dwellings – A Taste of Santa Fe Built in the early 2000s, this unique adobe-style retreat transports you to a rustic Mexican ranch. The setup includes:

• A two-bedroom home with a bespoke Totara kitchen and a private outdoor living space with an outdoor pizza oven and kitchen.
• A standalone one-bedroom guest house, also with private outdoor spaces. These homes were featured in New Zealand House and Garden.
• Continuing the charm is a substantial 4+ car workshop/man cave, complete with what might be the world’s most elaborate ‘smoko room’!
• Covered caravan site with a disposal station.

Commercial and Income Potential On the lower level, with direct access from Waimarama Road, lies an incredible commercial opportunity. With a previous resource consent for a café with ample parking, this 60sqm space is currently rented as an enterprising small business. Behind this is a massive 200sqm workshop plus a 60sqm covered storage yard, formerly a woodworking factory - offering endless possibilities for new ventures.

Investment Potential With an estimated income potential of over $135k per annum, this property presents countless options:

• Run it as a lodge, event venue, or restaurant (subject to council consent)
• Perfect for a trade business with multiple workshops
• Create a private retreat or boutique accommodation
