Nestled in the idyllic hills of Totara North, this beautiful semi rural property it features panoramic views of Whangaroa harbor, St. Paul’s rock, and the sacred Taratara mountain, offering you an unforgettable slice of Northland paradise.
Dating back to the 1870s, this remarkable 150-year-old property is associated with the historic Lane and Brown Shipyard and Sawmill, giving it a rich and fascinating past. Situated on just over 3.5 acres of land that includes a sweeping garden, pristine native bush and a three-tiered organic vegetable patch, this hidden gem provides a stunning fusion of woodland and coastal atmosphere.
You’ll embrace self-sufficient living with a natural spring-fed water tank and eco-friendly septic system, swim in a 12-foot exercise spa pool while looking over the waterfront, and enjoy family barbeques as you stargaze in the cool evenings.
Wake up to a serene chorus of native birdsong and tend to a garden that’s bursting with life. Featuring a polytunnel greenhouse, mature olive grove, and over a dozen fruit trees – including bananas, avocadoes, plums, nectarines, apples, oranges, limes and more – this property is a gardener’s dream.
A spacious kitchen with a log burner invites you to cook and dine in comfort. A laundry provides plenty of storage space. A lounge with open fire for those cool nights is perfect to relax in. Five double bedrooms provide plenty of room for the whole family and the office/formal dining room – complete with picturesque views of the Taratara mountain – provides the perfect spot to study or work in tranquility.
Whether you’re a family looking to escape from the suburbs to enjoy a slower pace of life, or a retiree who wants to get away from the hustle and bustle to an oasis of calm, the Brown House is the perfect property for your dreams of self-sufficient countryside living.
