285 Gibbons Road, Kaiwaka, Kaipara, Northland

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you buy this gorgeous lifestyle property four minutes to the township of Kaiwaka and an hour's drive to Auckland on the new motorway. Set in park-like grounds, including towering Totara trees and impressive native bush, this property oozes character and opportunity. Set back from the road, this four-bedroom home is perfectly positioned on the five-acre lot.

It's an arts and craft house, built of Macrocarpa weatherboards, with a much-admired farmhouse-style kitchen made of demolition timber, including a Rimu butcher's block with trendy corrugated iron cupboard doors. A large gas hob and big electrical oven make entertaining easy. With great indoor/outdoor flow from the living room and the kitchen onto a north-facing covered deck, this home has a great layout and the view from the living areas is impressive.

Stroll down to the pretty stream which runs through the property, with a backdrop of mature bush and specimen trees. With a double garage, a large woodshed, a potting shed, a glasshouse, and a container, the property has heaps of flat land suitable to build a large shed on or perhaps a tiny house or sleepout. There is a water right which comes with the property and irrigation points around the land. Graze stock or perhaps plant an orchard. There are already several raised veggie gardens.

This is a must-view property which will suit a variety of buyers. Call Christine Thomas for more details and viewings.
