Where Family Traditions Begin

There is something quietly special about properties that have been designed not just to impress, but to accommodate a full life.

227 Bell Road has been a place of gathering. A home where friends and family naturally gravitate, where celebrations spill from indoors to out, and where there is always room for one more guest around the table. Set across more than four hectares with views stretching towards Mount Pirongia and Kakepuku, it's easy to understand why.

Arriving home feels special The circular driveway winds its way through established grounds before revealing a substantial residence positioned to embrace the surrounding landscape. While the scale of the home immediately commands attention, what stays with you is the warmth. This is a home that feels lived in, loved and deeply connected to its surroundings.

Built in 2004 with a clear appreciation for craftsmanship, native timbers feature throughout. Cedar entrance doors make a memorable first impression, while Rimu joinery, Kauri internal doors and Matai flooring add texture, character and a sense of permanence that is increasingly difficult to find.

The home has been thoughtfully configured for both family life and entertaining. Four generous bedrooms each enjoy their own ensuite, offering privacy and independence for family members and guests. A dedicated office provides flexibility for those working from home (or a fifth bedroom, if required), while a separate powder room and additional bathroom ensure the home caters effortlessly to larger gatherings.

One of the property's most charming features is its relationship with the outdoors. Upstairs, wrap-around verandahs connect with the bedrooms, each one opening directly outside. It's the sort of home where doors are left open in summer, where morning coffee is enjoyed with a view, and where the changing landscape becomes part of everyday life.

The seasons each bring their own rhythm. In winter, the two woodburners become the heart of the home, drawing people together after a day spent outdoors. In the warmer months, life naturally centres around the pool. Children will spend entire afternoons in the water, adults will linger over long lunches, and evenings seem to stretch a little longer as the sun sets across the countryside.

Beyond the home itself, the established grounds continue to impress. A collection of mature citrus and fruit trees, including two substantial avocado trees, provides both beauty and bounty, adding another layer to the authentic lifestyle appeal of the property.
For those seeking a true lifestyle property, the infrastructure is already here. Multiple paddocks, cattle yards, implement shedding and well-fenced grazing land offer endless possibilities, whether you're running stock, keeping horses, or simply enjoying the freedom that comes with having space around you.

And then there's the tiny home.

Tucked away from the main residence, it opens the door to so many opportunities. Whether it's a place for extended family, independent accommodation for teenagers, a work-from-home retreat, or perhaps an Airbnb or boutique glamping experience, it's easy to see guests falling in love with the same rural outlook and peaceful surroundings that make this property so special. Note: The Tiny Home will be sold ‘as is where is’.

This is the sort of home where Christmases are hosted, summers are remembered, and families gather for years to come. A property with presence, personality and room to dream a little bigger. In a world where experiences matter more than ever, this is the sort of property that encourages people to stay a little longer, slow down a little more and enjoy everything that countryside living has to offer.

Make It Your Own

There is a point on the drive home where Hamilton lets go of you. The roads narrow, the paddocks open out, and by the time you turn into Telephone Road the city is somewhere behind you rather than all around you. Puketaha has stayed small on purpose. Far enough out that the quiet is real, close enough in that Puketaha School, Rototuna, Greenhill and the expressway all sit inside an ordinary day.

The front door tells you what kind of home this is before you open it. The window above it runs high and deliberate, and the light that pours through it into the entrance was nobody's accident. This home was crafted rather than built, designed in the 1980s by an architect who intended to live in it himself.

Four bedrooms. Two bathrooms. Two living areas, so everyone has somewhere to be. A woodburner for the middle of a Waikato winter. The finishes belong to their era, and that is the invitation. This is a home asking for someone to bring their own taste to it.

Outside there is genuine room. Enough to let the children run without having to call them back, and enough to imagine whatever comes next, whether that is more shedding, more garden, or something to swim in.

One family has loved this home for more than twenty years. It was crafted with intention, and it is ready for its next chapter.

Soaring ceilings supported by over-engineered steel portal frames create an impressive sense of strength and space.

Something for Everyone

Hold on to your hats, because this is one of those properties where the more you explore, the more you discover.

Set within a premium lifestyle development and surrounded by expansive views towards the Kaipara Harbour, this is a property that delivers the ultimate Kiwi lifestyle space, privacy, views and the freedom to pursue just about any interest you can imagine, all without being too far from the city.

At just two years young, the property has been thoughtfully designed and developed with the big jobs already done. The current owners have clearly done this before, and it shows in the way the property has been planned, with every element considered and positioned to make the most of the land.

The Home
At the heart of the property is a near-new four-bedroom home, offering modern living with all the comforts and conveniences you would expect from a contemporary build.

It provides the perfect base from which to enjoy everything the property has to offer, with the hard work of establishing a new property already well underway. This is about moving in, settling in and enjoying the lifestyle.

The Shed - and Then Some
Then there is the shed. At an impressive 400sqm, this is no ordinary rural shed. It is the kind of space that will have enthusiasts, collectors, tradies and families all asking the same question: how much stuff can I fit in here?
There is room for vehicles, boats, machinery, horse floats, recreational toys and all the equipment that comes with enjoying a substantial lifestyle property.

And tucked within the shed is an added bonus: a teenage retreat, providing independent space for teenagers, guests or extended family. Off to the side, a lean-to incorporates two stables and a tack room, making the equestrian setup both practical and incredibly convenient.

The Paddocks and Views
Step beyond the buildings and the property really starts to reveal itself.

The land falls away towards the Kaipara Harbour, opening up those big, expansive rural views that are increasingly difficult to find this close to Auckland. There are three paddocks, providing plenty of room for horses and other four-legged friends to live comfortably on-site, with post-and-rail fencing helping define the boundaries and giving the property that quintessential Kiwi rural feel.

Whether you're riding, keeping stock, enjoying the views or simply watching the sun disappear across the harbour, this is where the lifestyle really comes into its own.

And Then There's the Butchery
And just when you think you've seen it all, there's the butchery.
Purpose-built and incredibly useful, it adds another layer of self-sufficiency to the property, ideal for homekill, processing game or fish, filleting the catch of the day, or smoking your own produce.
It's the sort of feature you don't necessarily go looking for, but once you have it, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.

And thankfully, with ample parking, there is plenty of room for friends and family once word gets out.

The Big Picture
This is a property that has been thoughtfully conceived, properly developed and built for enjoyment.
The near-new home, enormous shed, teenage retreat, stables, tack room, paddocks, harbour views and butchery create a package that offers something for almost everyone.

If you're looking to step away from the rat race without stepping completely away from Auckland, this is a rare opportunity to embrace the ultimate Kiwi lifestyle, with the hard work already done and plenty of room to make it your own.

Slater Road is a must-see.

The land itself is much more than simply paddocks. Included within this special property is approximately one hectare of mature native bush, a truly magical setting featuring established mānuka, kānuka, and many other native species. A natural stream, seasonal waterfalls, prolific birdlife, and complete privacy create a peaceful retreat, all just an easy five-minute walk from the house. Native bush areas of this quality take decades to establish and are simply priceless.

The remainder of the land includes flat lawn areas surrounding the home, an orchard, a children's playhouse, and approximately six well-fenced paddocks, all serviced by troughs and ideal for livestock.

The views from almost every aspect of the property stretch from the heads of the harbour across to Lyttelton and beyond. They are breathtaking, ever-changing, and a constant source of enjoyment.

A four-bay Totalspan shed and two containers provide secure storage for tools and equipment, while a chicken run and animal shelter further enhance the property's practicality.

There are countless possibilities here, whether your interests lie in farming, horticulture, or simply enjoying an outstanding lifestyle property. There may also be potential for accommodation options such as holiday pods (subject to the necessary consents). Currently, a local farmer grazes the land, providing an arrangement that works exceptionally well for both parties. At its simplest, you could move straight in, and the only ongoing job would be to mow the lawns closest to the house.

The location is near perfect, with the local school, shops, beaches, and walking tracks all close at hand. The property is located less than five minutes drive to the Diamond Harbour local amenities, including the nearby Diamond Harbour School, KidsFirst Kindergarten, Four Square supermarket, and Two Thumb Brew Bar. The property is within the zone for Cashmere High School, and the regular ferry service to Lyttelton connects you to Christchurch City, providing a perfect balance of tranquil coastal living and urban convenience.
