Historic Homestead with Lifestyle and Income

Set on approximately 1 hectare of flat, fertile land, this character-rich 1930s weatherboard original homestead, carries a sense of history, beautifully preserved and thoughtfully enhanced for modern living. Framed by a magnificent old Kauri and stately Puriri tree, the property feels grounded in time, with a story to tell.

Inside, timeless character charm is on full display, with a warm and inviting lounge centered around a wood burner and opening through double-glazed concertina doors leads out to the expansive, recently added timber deck - perfectly positioned to take in sweeping rural views towards the Katikati township. A versatile dining space can be opened or closed to suit the occasion and flows seamlessly to the covered rear porch. The modern kitchen connects easily to both the dining area and a dedicated office space, creating a practical and cohesive living hub. The master suite enjoys its own ensuite and access through French doors directly onto the front deck, while an office nook and separate laundry add everyday ease. Step outside and the lifestyle unfolds. The rear porch offers a private haven for evening drinks, summer BBQs, or a soak in the hot tub, all set against the stunning backdrop of the Kaimai Ranges.

Productivity meets lifestyle with 70 producing Avocado trees which are export registered, alongside 60 Macadamia trees with further income potential. A freshwater bore is used to irrigate these trees with ease. A collection of backyard fruiting trees provides a fruit bowl of seasonal homegrown fruit. Shedding is generous and practical, including a workshop, storage bay, and a woodshed, with ample driveway parking for a boat or caravan with ease.

A property with soul, substance and income potential, offering a lifestyle that feels both nostalgic and rewarding.
