Set down a peaceful country road, this very special lifestyle property blends the charm of a large section with the benefits of a small farm, offering the perfect escape for those dreaming of a semi self-sustainable life.
The character home, featuring timber milled locally, offers peace, privacy, and a slower pace of living in a beautiful coastal country setting, yet still within an hour of the city (off peak). After 40 years, it's now ready for a new owner to continue the legacy.
Purchased in 1979 by like-minded owners, the property was created to develop a life-enhancing, safe, peaceful, and ecologically responsible community. It's not just a home - this is a fulfilling lifestyle opportunity.
The property is positioned to take full advantage of its northeast aspect, with stunning views over farmland, the Waiwera River, and the outer Hauraki Gulf. It includes a freehold 4,381sqm (more or less) house block featuring an art studio, large shed/workshop, and chicken coop. In addition, the property includes a 1/8 share of the remaining 37ha farm and farm cottage, which features native bush and grazing paddocks - a perfect blend of bush and beach life.
The spacious home spans three levels with multiple living areas, decks, and patios perfect for entertaining. It offers six bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a second kitchenette - ideal for extended family or guests. Designed and built by the current owner, the home has supported an almost off-grid, semi self-sufficient lifestyle. It's now ready for a new family to renovate and make it their own.
The farm includes the ability to grow your own greens for year-round harvest, as well as citrus, feijoa, fig, pip, and stone fruit orchards. Fishing enthusiasts can launch a small boat from the Waiwera River and head out to sea. The communal pavilion with a flat lawn is perfect for gatherings, while a river swing adds fun for all ages.
Just a short drive from local beaches, rivers, and key amenities, with easy access to the northern motorway, it's only a 35 minute drive to Auckland City (off peak).
