Set in a sought-after location, this immaculate property blends modern comfort with a self-sufficient edge—ready for you to move in and enjoy the rewards of careful planning and hard work.A striking boardwalk entry framed by Mangatangi sandstone boulders and lush plantings leads you into a spacious home where quality finishes and a well-considered layout offer effortless flow. The open-plan living and dining area centres around a gourmet kitchen with a large island, feature lighting, and a sunlit skylight—perfect for entertainers and everyday life alike.Indoor-outdoor living shines here, with expansive Purpleheart hardwood decking and a covered alfresco area complete with an outdoor fireplace built from 100-year-old recycled bricks. The views stretch across peaceful countryside, creating a setting ideal for long summer evenings or cozy winter gatherings.Inside, comfort is paramount. A wood burner with wet-back heating, polished concrete floors, and plush wool carpets offer warmth and style, while sheep wool insulation keeps temperatures steady year-round. A 10kW hybrid solar system with 27 panels, lithium batteries, and EV charger adds serious off-grid capability. A solar-powered skylight with rain sensor and Lightwire internet complete the thoughtful touches.The main home includes three bedrooms across two wings, ideal for privacy and functionality. The master features a walk-in robe and elegant ensuite, while the third bedroom suits children, guests, or a home office. The guest wing enjoys its own bedroom, bathroom, and laundry with direct carport access.Within the shed, a 66m² studio-style space offers excellent versatility—featuring a bedroom and living area (consented as storage), and a consented bathroom. Ranch Sliders open out to a sunny patio, making it a great option for a workspace, hobby room, storage, or a comfortable spot for guests.Equestrians will love the 25m x 46m EQ3 sand and shell arena, two stalls, tack room, washdown bay, and ten well-fenced paddocks with troughs and dedicated equine water supply. A 12m x 11m high-stud shed with mezzanine adds further utility and storage.For the green-thumbed, there’s an 18m x 6m Redpath hothouse, an established orchard. A tranquil rocky-bottom stream weaving through the property adds character and interest to the land.Located just 10 minutes from Kaiaua’s boat ramp and famous fish and chips, with Miranda’s hot pools and bird sanctuary nearby, the lifestyle here is as rich as the land itself. Zoned for Hauraki Plains College with a school bus at the gate, this exceptional property is ready for your next chapter.
