Land, Infrastructure & Opportunity

Rural scale, serious infrastructure and genuine potential - 5.97ha (more or less) of elevated, productive land offering an exceptional platform for lifestyle, equestrian, horticulture, or future rural enterprise.

Set well back from the road and surrounded by beautiful north-west countryside, this is a property where the land and improvements create opportunities well beyond the traditional lifestyle block. The deep, rich, free-draining soils are ideally suited to those wanting to grow, produce and make the most of the land, whether that means established gardens, orchards, flowers, market gardening, permaculture, grazing or simply creating your own self-sufficient rural retreat. Add in glorious sunrises, spectacular sunsets and wide-open rural outlooks, and the setting is every bit as special as the infrastructure.

At the heart of the property is a beautifully preserved circa 1915 villa, relocated from Epsom in 2012. Offering five bedrooms, two bathrooms and three living spaces, the home retains its character with Kauri floors, high-stud ceilings and a classic bull-nose verandah, complemented by a modern, sun-drenched entertaining deck. It is a home designed for family, friends and a relaxed country lifestyle.

Where this property really sets itself apart, however, is the scale and versatility of its outbuildings and infrastructure.

Currently configured to accommodate up to 14 boxed horses, the facilities include two wash-down areas, dedicated tie-up spaces, tack and feed rooms, hay and storage facilities, workshops and extensive utility areas. A 40m x 60m LED-lit arena, additional grass arena and riding lanes provide an impressive equestrian set-up, while the extensive yard allows easy access and parking for trucks, diggers, trailers, machinery and other larger vehicles.

The substantial 54m x 8m building offers approximately 432sqm of covered space alone, with a further 32m x 6m of roof coverage, taking the total covered area to approximately 624sqm. This is significant infrastructure with scope to adapt and repurpose over time - whether continuing its equestrian use, creating additional storage, developing a workshop or machinery base, expanding a rural enterprise, or exploring other lifestyle and business uses (subject to the necessary consents).

The combination of 5.97ha of productive land, extensive covered infrastructure, established equestrian facilities and a character-filled family home creates a rare proposition. There is room here to evolve the property around your ambitions rather than simply fitting into someone else's vision.

And when work is done, the lifestyle is hard to beat. Woodhill Forest is close by for horse riding, mountain biking, four-wheel driving and the motorbike park, while Muriwai Beach, Te Rau Puriri Park, South Head and Kaipara Harbour are all within easy reach. Waimauku and Helensville villages are just minutes away, with Auckland CBD approximately 40 minutes off-peak.

A substantial rural holding with productive land, serious infrastructure and the flexibility to create something truly your own.
