49 Lamb Road, Parua Bay, Northland

Yes, family homes like this really do exist! Nestled in the hills of beautiful Parua Bay and surrounded by kauri trees and native bush, you'll be pinching yourself when you check out this delightfully private single level, three bedroom (plus sleepout), two bathroom property. Wake up to the sound of native birdsong every morning in this slice of native paradise.

Built 2007 and bathed in natural light thanks to high-stud ceilings, the open plan living spaces include a smartly tiled kitchen, sunny lounge area, dining space and bonus study nook. Storage will never be an issue and you will be cosy all year round with heat pumps, sleek log burner and built-in heat transfer system. The sun-soaked master includes a spacious ensuite and the two remaining bedrooms have functional dividing walls that can be removed to make the rooms even bigger if needed. Starlink internet is installed.

Large glass doors open out to an expansive deck and outdoor area which includes swimming pool, spa pool and outdoor pizza oven – an entertainer's dream and perfect for those extended family visits. There is even a self-contained sleepout off the deck that can be used as an extra bedroom (AirBnB anyone?), study or home office.

The large 4030sqm section is packed with treasures including established vege garden, greenhouse, mature fruit trees (apples, pears, louisiana plums just to name a few) and tranquil goldfish pond. For the kids and grandies there's a sandpit, basket swing, netball hoop and trampoline (which will be staying as part of the chattels). There's even a two-level tree house that has day bed and desk with escape hatch and climbing wall – a kid's paradise. Set at the end of a quiet no exit road, this property has a single carport, workshop, and plenty of off-street parking. Bonus you can have dogs and cats.

Despite its privacy, you're within a 600-metre walk to charming Parua Bay Village and the kids can walk to Parua Bay school.
