Charming country lifestyle with many sheds

Set on 6 hectares (more or less) of grazeable land, this charming 1970’s weatherboard home offers an affordable entry into lifestyle living. With three bedrooms and classic rural appeal, the property blends timeless character with modern upgrades in a peaceful country setting. Having thoroughly enjoyed living here, the owner is now heading south for their next chapter.

The home has been beautifully renovated and insulated throughout. The open plan living opens out onto a sunny deck, while a back paved patio captures all day sun, making it ideal for entertaining. There are three bedrooms, two doubles and a single, along with a family bathroom and separate laundry. A ducted, whole-home air conditioning system ensures consistent comfort, while a wood burner with a distinctive kauri surround adds warmth through the cooler months.

The property is well set up for rural living, featuring a new half-round barn (unconsented) ideal for a workshop or to run a business from. Stock handling is straightforward with well-designed cattle yards, plus a pig/calf shed and multiple farm sheds including a double carport and a three-bay shed with lean-to. Water is reticulated to troughs across 5 paddocks, supported by dedicated farm water storage (1x10,000L and 2x5,000L tanks). Adding a unique lifestyle dimension is the original rustic woolshed, perfect for a man cave or she shed. Currently configured as a games room, bar, office and TV area with projector screen, it offers flexible space for work, play or entertaining. The property is secure with electric gates at the entrance.

The pasture itself is a standout feature, with a grove of approximately 40 mature kauri trees crowning the highest point of the property, along with established fruit trees and active beehives managed by a local beekeeper.

Just five minutes from the iconic Puhoi Pub, six minutes to the Opahi Bay boat ramp and the beautiful beaches and walks of the nearby Regional Parks, and only 10 minutes to both Warkworth and Orewa, the property offers the best of rural living. Commuting is also realistic with the Auckland Harbour Bridge only 35 minutes (off-peak) away. This is a rare opportunity to secure a well-established, fully set-up lifestyle property on the doorstep of Mahurangi West and Puhoi.
