18 Bennett Street, Port Albert, Rodney

Down a quiet country road, framed by rolling hills and wide Kaipara Harbour skies, sits a duck egg blue cottage (which we believe to be circa 1900) full of heart and history. From the moment you arrive, there's a sense of calm birdsong in the air, fruit trees in the garden, and a glimpse of the harbour beyond local farm land.

This is a home built for simpler living, where weekends are spent pottering in the garden, collecting fresh eggs, and enjoying long lunches in the sun. Step through the front door and you're welcomed by timber features, high ceilings, and a cosy wood burner, the kind of lounge that calls for good books and slow evenings by the fire.

There's space for everyone here, with four bedrooms, plus a separate home office or mudroom at the front with its on outside entrance that's ideal for remote work or rainy day hobbies. The kitchen has a touch of retro charm, with practical storage, and peaceful views out to a fish pond.

A separate bath room, shower room, toilet room, and a generous laundry add to the home's practicality, while outside, a large backyard offers everything you need for a self-sufficient lifestyle, a chicken coop, fruit trees, room to grow vegetables, and fenced space for the kids or pets to roam.

The double garage has a high stud, there's a low, small carport for your trailer or boat, and an old original farm shed, and multiple water tanks ensure a steady supply. Whether you're looking for a peaceful weekend retreat or a full-time move to the country, this property offers the lifestyle you've been dreaming about, one of space, simplicity, and a slower pace.
