15 Kipling Road, Te Karaka, Gisborne, Gisborne

If you’ve been searching for a property that isn’t cookie-cutter, this Bespoke, cantilevered caravan on a fully fenced section in Te Karaka stands out immediately.

Built on a purpose-designed trailer with a remote braking system, drum brakes that work in both reverse and forward, it’s engineered for durability. The exterior features Coloursteel cladding and roofing with a cavity system, double-glazed aluminium windows & doors, Terralana wool insulation throughout, and reclaimed Kauri detailing. If a "hippy" lifestyle is what you are dreaming of, here it is! Add a substantial shed, established garden rows, a chicken coop, water tank & pump with UV filtration, and Current Geotech, you’ve got a country lifestyle wrapped around it.

The layout brings together warm timber linings, a Logaire Apollo fire and built-in seating that doubles as a cosy sleeping nook. Full bi-fold doors open to the garden, extending both light and living space. The kitchen runs neatly along one wall with stainless benchtops, open shelving and even a full 4-burner gas oven.

Thanks to the cabin’s cantilevered design, the upper platforms offer more usable space than traditional caravan lofts. They work beautifully as a primary sleeping zone, studio, extra lounge or storage level. Reclaimed Kauri timber in the lofts and end wall adds warmth and character, while keeping the build lightweight and enduring.

Outside, former vege beds are already mapped out for someone who wants to grow seriously. The large shed has a rustic shower, offers scope for tools, tinkering, hobbies or conversion projects, & with fibre already in place, it’s ideal for remote work or streaming. There’s also the chicken coop, firewood storage, & off-street parking behind secure fencing.

Te Karaka gives you the essentials close by - schooling, a Four Square, fuel, and community facilities, with Gisborne’s supermarkets, hospital, airport and beaches within an easy drive.
