60 Lenzen Road, Puhoi, Rodney

Tucked away in native bushland and built to outlast trends and time, this extraordinary home redefines rural living. Crafted from robust ZIEGEL clay blocks, it offers a sanctuary of strength, style, and self-sufficiency.

Set across 1.59 hectares of lush, secluded land, the layout has been thoughtfully designed for comfort, connection, and flexibility. Generous living areas wrap around an open internal courtyard—ideal for al fresco dinners, quiet morning coffee, or evening stargazing.

Downstairs, a completely self-contained two-bedroom accommodation with private entry offers endless potential—for extended family, on-site help, or even as guest accommodation.

This home was designed with wellness and durability as its top priorities:

• ZIEGEL fired clay blocks (240mm thick) for their superior thermal mass and breathability, which together creates an incredibly healthy, energy-efficient, and comfortable indoor environment

- Reduces the need for additional heating/cooling—lower energy bills, year-round comfort

- Non-combustible and impervious to pests like borer and termites

- Doesn’t rot, warp, or degrade over time—extremely durable and low maintenanc

- Creates a quiet, peaceful home thanks to strong acoustic insulation

- Breathable & moisture-regulating—helps prevent mould, damp, and condensation

• uPVC double-glazed joinery for its exceptional sound and thermal insulation

• Internal lime-plastered walls for healthy indoor air

• STO exterior plaster system for long-term weather protection

Add a touch of artistic flair to the mix, with a bathroom nodding to Hundertwasser’s whimsical genius—just one more way this home surprises and delights.

Beyond the home, the land opens up to a world of possibilities. Equipped with greenhouses, sheds, a chicken coop, and a pigsty, this property is well-prepared for a self-sustaining lifestyle or a home-based venture. A dedicated generator ensures peace of mind, rain or shine.

Located near Puhoi, one of Auckland’s most charming historic communities, this property offers both rural freedom and easy access to the city.

The current owners have poured heart and soul into this one-of-a-kind haven and are now ready to pass the baton to its next lucky steward.

Want something truly different? A lifestyle with meaning and space to grow? Come take a walk through. This home has stories to tell—maybe yours is next.
