Ever dreamed of living a 100% self-sufficient lifestyle, completely off-grid? Here’s your chance. Everything you need to start living closer to nature is ready for you, a testament to the countless hours and passion poured in by its current owners.

Set over 4.44ha (more-or-less) of rural landscape, this property provides so much versatility. Offering a dynamic topography, boasting 360-degree views from mountain to sea, and your own patch of bush with a meandering stream. Additionally featuring a fruit tree orchard, plenty of space for a veggie garden, paddocks for grazing and a choice of areas to build your dream home, should you wish.

Whilst you ponder your options, you can immediately start living sustainably thanks to the vision of the current owners. A snug Geodesic dome provides your main accommodation with room for a large double bed plus a ‘living area’ with beautiful views of the natural landscape. The dome is comfortable and cosy, warmed by a log burner in winter, and complemented by an outdoor hot tub for late-night soaks under the stars. Imagine waking up and immediately being immersed in nature, watching the sunrise from your own viewing platform.

The rustic kitchen has everything you need to cook your meals and wash the dishes, whilst the composting toilet and hot shower ensure you have your basic comforts sorted, in a picturesque setting. The solar panels guarantee all your energy needs are taken care of – so say goodbye to bills. Significant landscaping has been carried out with approximately 500 native trees planted. Also included with the property comes a 30,000L water tank with pump, solar panels, inverter plus battery, 2 x shipping containers to use as storage or office space, a 7m x 6m container shelter, and an additional insulated and lined studio space.

The possibilities here are endless; live a sustainable lifestyle, build your dream home, embark on an Airbnb/glamping venture, and all approximately 9km from New Plymouth city centre.
