Peaceful Lifestyle Retreat Near Town

Just 15 minutes from Kaitaia, this peaceful 1.97-hectare (approx. 4.87-acre) lifestyle property offers a rare blend of privacy, space, and beautifully established gardens.

Set well back from the road at the end of a picturesque driveway, the home enjoys a private setting surrounded by mature trees, native and ornamental plantings, and a wide variety of fruit trees providing shade, seasonal harvests, and a tranquil natural environment.

The gardens themselves are something special. Once included as part of the well-known Far North Garden Safari, the grounds have been thoughtfully planted and nurtured over many years. A rich variety of fruiting trees and plantings attract abundant birdlife, filling the property with birdsong and movement throughout the day. Large open lawns and sheltered garden spaces create a wonderful setting for family life - a natural playground for children, with plenty of room for camping, outdoor gatherings, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

The home features comfortable open-plan living, warmed by a woodburner and supported by a heat pump for year-round comfort. The kitchen is fitted with handcrafted macrocapa cabinetry and a moveable island, offering flexibility for everyday living and entertaining. The former internal-access garage has been converted into a generous multipurpose room, ideal for hobbies, storage, or working from home.

Outside, the property opens up to easy-contour land divided into three paddocks, each with its own stock trough - well suited for grazing a small flock of sheep, cattle, ponies, or other lifestyle animals.

Two substantial shade houses (approximately 320m² combined), originally used as an orchid nursery, provide excellent infrastructure for growing vegetables, propagation, or other horticultural pursuits. One is currently utilised for storage. A separate powered garage/workshop with workbench adds further versatility.

Water is supplied via roof catchment from both the house and the shade houses, with a large concrete tank servicing the home and two additional tanks by the shade houses also feeding the paddocks.

For buyers seeking space, privacy, and the opportunity to enjoy a more self-sufficient lifestyle, while remaining within easy reach of town, this unique property presents a compelling opportunity.
