167 Anderson Road, Kaukapakapa, Auckland

Farms mean land and that's the principal requirement when choosing a farming lifestyle - to get enough of it, and that it's fit for purpose. This rare 24.3 hectare block in lush rolling pasture is the embodiment of an ideal farm. Every amenity is designed to enable farming with utmost ease, from well-planned farm roads, through to multiple workshops, and the classic half-round barn, with an even more classic lean-to attached. On offer at sought-after Kaukapakapa are 28 fenced paddocks, natural water catchments for stock drinking, yards, a large goat-shed, and more. An elegant three-bedroom, two-bathroom home with generous decking, good indoor-outdoor flow, two living areas, is sited on a level, exquisitely private elevated section. It affords panoramic views over green farmland and the opportunity for blissful relaxation. A four-bay garage houses vehicles or storage for farm machinery and workshop space. Yards, crush and the driveway are centrally positioned for effortless access and all races are in good order. Pockets of native bush dot the farm and two blocks of native bush are sited on opposing perimeters. A large dam is sited near the bottom of the property providing plenty of water, and multiple water tanks make dry summers a breeze. The home is set well back from the road and is serenely private however Helensville with all amenities is just a few minutes' drive and three shopping centres are each within half an hour by car - Silverdale, Kumeu, and Westgate. Helensville's got you covered for Sunday cafes, medical centre, library, schools, sportsgrounds, and farm supplies and Auckland CBD off-peak will take approx. 45 minutes. The vendors have loved the peaceful environment and their great neighbours, but it's time for change. This is an extraordinarily rare property in size and quality of set-up, and while not gigantic the refined home and garden make quality a whole-family pleasure. Bring your best game because here's the place to play it. The asking price is plus GST (if any).
