A hidden sanctuary without limits

Tucked away in an extraordinarily peaceful setting, this 17 hectare (more or less) property offers the chance to step away from the pace of modern life and embrace a simpler, more intentional lifestyle. With no covenants restricting how you enjoy the land, you'll have the freedom to create a retreat that suits your vision.

Hidden amongst native bush and rolling countryside, the property feels a world away from the everyday, yet its proximity and easy commute to Whangārei, Waipu, Mangawhai and Auckland provides an enviable balance of privacy, tranquillity and convenience.

Elevated to capture sweeping rural views, the setting offers an immediate sense of calm and connection to the landscape. At the heart of the property sits a cleverly converted barn now a comfortable off-grid home. Powered by solar energy the infrastructure is already in place, allowing you to arrive and immediately enjoy all that the property has to offer.

Inside, the open-plan layout centres around a practical kitchen, while a mezzanine level provides additional sleeping accommodation or storage. A fireplace and heat pump ensure year-round comfort, combining rustic character with modern practicality.

Outside, a generous deck offers the perfect spot to take in the views, enjoy your morning coffee, or gather around the firepit beneath a star-filled sky. A separate lockable cabin adds flexibility for guests, additional accommodation or storage.
Predominantly covered in native bush with pockets of grazing, the land offers an appealing mix of natural beauty, and functionality.

Rarely do properties offer this level of seclusion while remaining so well positioned to some of Northland's most sought-after destinations. Whether you're looking for a lock-up-and-leave getaway, a peaceful sanctuary, or a place to create your own lifestyle vision, 957 Bull Road presents an opportunity to enjoy life on your own terms.

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.

Uninterrupted Panoramic Harbour Views

Take advantage of this rare opportunity to secure a lifestyle in sought-after Seagrove Road. This beautiful architecturally designed home commands panoramic views over the Manukau Harbour in rural South/West Auckland. Elevated above the harbour on 5.2 hectares of mostly flat, well fenced land, this one of a kind home was almost completely re-built in 2006. The renovation, designed by award winning architect Steven Lloyd, is as solid in its construction as it is rich in timeless appeal. With a nod to mid-century modern style, the tilt slab concrete and cedar exterior compliments the light-filled, modern interior. Soaring ceilings supported by over-engineered steel portal frames create an impressive sense of strength and space. Solid American Oak flooring and built-in bespoke furnishings follow a mid-century vibe, and unique features include a 4 sided ceramic glass enclosed fireplace, and basalt and stainless steel bathrooms.

The 345sqm floor area allows for generous rooms, the living wing incorporates a large open plan kitchen, family room, with dining and living room surrounding the impressive fireplace. American Oak window seats, cabinetry and benches echo the warmth of the flooring and provide abundant storage. A library/office includes built-in shelving and cabinets and completes the living wing.

In the accommodation wing the master suite enjoys uninterrupted views of the harbour, and continues the theme with American Oak built-in wardrobes, cabinetry and bed-head, the unique basalt and stainless steel ensuite bathroom features a large pivot window so a shower or bath in the open air can be enjoyed. Three more generous family bedrooms are positioned to take advantage of sea and rural views and all include built-in wardrobes and cabinetry. A self-contained guest bed/sitting room is a more recent addition, but follows the style of the rest of the house and includes a tiled ensuite with accessible shower, hand-rails and non-slip flooring. Two further family bathrooms are also finished in basalt and stainless steel with polished concrete flooring; a separate utility/laundry room completes the main house.

Extensive outdoor patios and a covered outdoor living and bbq area provide the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining while enjoying the stunning views.

Complementing the home is a substantial shed, 224sqm architecturally designed and built in the same style as the house, featuring tilt slab concrete and cedar exterior. Tucked into the northern end of the space and taking in the panoramic harbour views is a self contained guest/hobby space featuring a mezzanine bedroom, kitchenette and bathroom. A dedicated garden shed and storage area complete the northern end of the shed. Sliding cedar hangar doors open to reveal the 5.6 metre high workspace, which includes a vehicle hoist and overhead crane, and provision for 3 phase power. Whether it is extensive storage and parking for your collection, a space to create and tinker, or a giant man-cave you won't have to compromise on space!

The land is divided into 5 well-fenced paddocks, a productive orchard, raised vegetable and herb gardens, and along the western boundary a bank of developing native bush and a natural duck pond. Further infrastructure includes water troughs for all paddocks, cattle yards and loading ramp, 2 bay woodshed, haybarn and a 40ft container for extra storage. Water security is ensured with a shareholding in a bore which feeds all outdoor taps and troughs, and supplements the rainwater supply.

Seagrove Road is within easy reach of Waiau Pa Village shops and Waiau Pa School (full primary years 1-8) and Waiau Pa kindergarten, and a short drive from Clarks Beach and its amenities, including an 18 hole golf course and golf club, bowling club, restaurants and take-aways, safe swimming beaches, yacht club and boat ramps, playground and skate park.

Secluded and private with breathtaking views, this beautiful home and land offers an exceptional lifestyle in one of Auckland's most sought-after locations.

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.

To find a lifestyle property of this calibre, only approximately 35 minutes' drive from the city, is indeed a rare and treasured opportunity. North-facing and set across 5.9 hectares of gentle rolling land, this exceptional property enjoys some of the very best views we have ever seen. Absolutely immaculate in every respect, it has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully developed.

The infrastructure is next level, with outstanding fencing, water supply and storage systems, excellent access, a well-formed driveway, extensive shedding, and generous storage areas. Every aspect has been maintained to the highest standard and is presented in exceptional condition.

Built in 2017, the family home is presented in impeccable condition and has recently undergone a significant refresh, including upgrading the kitchen and bathrooms, a full repaint, and the addition of a large mudroom at the rear of the home.

Offering four to five bedrooms, including a master with ensuite, and a spacious family bathroom, there is room for everyone to enjoy all that this property has to offer.

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.

A little bit country, a whole lot of property

If space, privacy and flexibility are high on the wish list, 42 Farquharson Road delivers a lifestyle property that can adapt to almost any family situation.

Centrally positioned on approximately one acre, the substantial 250sqm (more or less) Golden Home offers five bedrooms and four bathrooms, including two bedrooms with ensuites, a main family bathroom and an additional consented bathroom within the large shed.

The layout of the home is one of its real strengths. Designed with family living and separation in mind, there is a lounge positioned on either side of the central kitchen and dining area, while the master suite and guest bedroom are located at opposite ends of the home. Whether accommodating teenagers, extended family, guests or simply giving everyone their own space, it is an incredibly practical arrangement.

All of the main living areas face north, capturing plenty of natural light and opening directly outside. At the centre of the home is a generous kitchen with modern appliances and an oversized boomerang-shaped bench providing an abundance of preparation and entertaining space. A wood burner sits within the main living area, creating a warm and welcoming hub through the cooler months.

Alongside the main dining space is a separate casual dining nook, perfect for rushed breakfasts, after-school meals or simply somewhere relaxed to sit with a coffee while looking out across the property.

Storage has also been well considered, with plenty of cupboards throughout and a separate walk-through laundry leading directly outside to an impressive vegetable garden. With established garden beds and vege pods, there is plenty of room to keep fresh produce growing throughout the year.

The indoor-outdoor connection is excellent, with the living areas opening to a private entertaining space complete with a substantial brick outdoor fireplace. Surrounded by established planting and overlooking the neighbouring paddocks, it is a peaceful setting with room for outdoor dining, entertaining and a spa pool.

The main master suite is particularly impressive, featuring a generous ensuite with double vanities and a large double tiled walk-in shower. The remaining bedrooms are well proportioned, with large windows allowing plenty of sun and natural light, all connected by the central hallway.

Then there is the shed.

Located conveniently close to the home is an approximately 12m x 9m, 108sqm KiwiSpan-style shed divided into three separate areas. The section closest to the home contains two additional rooms with opening joinery to the outside, polished concrete floors and a modern consented bathroom with a tiled shower. It creates an excellent option for anyone working from home, running a business, wanting a teenage retreat or simply needing additional flexible space.

The centre bay takes advantage of the approximately 4.8m stud height with a mezzanine level providing even more storage or usable space, while the height also lends itself well to vehicle enthusiasts wanting room for a car hoist.

Outside, the property is currently divided into three well-fenced paddocks and features an attractive mix of established trees and productive fruit planting, including plum, Orange, Mandarin, Lemon, Lime, Apples, Peaches, Pears, Feijoa, Passion Fruit and Macadamia nuts.

Despite the peaceful rural setting, the location remains extremely convenient. The Ramarama motorway interchange is approximately 14 minutes away, while both Ararimu School and Hunua School are around 4km from the property, and Paparimu School is approximately 6.5km away.

Ararimu and the surrounding rural community are well known for their friendly atmosphere, local events and strong community spirit, making this an excellent place to put down roots while remaining within easy reach of Drury and the wider Auckland network.

With a substantial family home, genuine separation, outstanding shedding and a manageable lifestyle block, 42 Farquharson Road is a property that will suit a wide range of buyers and family situations.

Big Land. Big Privacy. Big Potential. Don’t Wait.

This is 5.82ha (14.38 Acres) more or less, of pure lifestyle — rolling to inclined land, native bush, stream, space to breathe, with views that hit you, sunsets that stop you. Peace you can feel the moment you step out of the car.

Three bedrooms, a proper master with ensuite, neatly proportioned kitchen, open concept dining and living, natural light everywhere, heat pump, log burner — it’s clean, simple, sorted.

Outside, the deck immediately overlooks the paddocks, add in a generous sized shed, plus, separate stand-alone garage (c/w laundry), this property has flexibility suiting most needs!

The land is mixed in nature, giving you options: graze stock, run a hobby farm, or just enjoy the freedom. Native bush with a walking track drops down to the Puarauroa Stream — a private retreat like this you won’t find again at this scale.
All this, and you’re an easy commute to Bombay School, pre-school, service centre with fast food outlets, cafes, fuel stations, grocery stores, and the southern motorway.

This is the lifestyle holding buyers fight for. Space, bush, sheds, views, potential — it ticks every box and it will move. If you’re serious, act now. Properties like this don’t wait for you.

Elevated Lake Views, Endless Possibility

**AUCTION: To be held Wednesday 21st October 2026, 4pm at the Cambridge Community Pavilion, Corner of Dick Street and Queen Street, Cambridge (unless sold prior) **

Privately positioned down a long driveway and well removed from the road, this exceptional 5,503m² (more or less) property offers the space, privacy and outlook to create something truly special.

Elevated above Lake Karāpiro, its northerly aspect is perfectly positioned to capture the lake's ever-changing scenery - from quiet, reflective mornings to the colour and energy of life on the water below.

With generous space and such a unique setting, there is an exciting opportunity to build a home designed entirely around you - whether you envision a permanent residence, a weekend retreat or a welcoming haven where family and friends can gather.

The lake is at the heart of the lifestyle here. Launch the boat from the Domain, head out kayaking, spend the day on the water, watch the rowers glide past or simply relax and take in the remarkable outlook. Nearby cycling trails and the surrounding Waikato countryside offer even more ways to enjoy this exceptional location.

Properties combining privacy, scale, elevated lake views and a genuine connection to the Lake Karāpiro lifestyle are seldom available.

Come and experience this inspiring setting for yourself - it could be the beginning of an extraordinary next chapter.

What would you do with 22.0920 hectares (more or less) in Gleniti? Even better, what could you do with 32.0920 hectares (more or less)?

This substantial holding offers 22.0920 hectares (more or less), with the option to secure a further 10.000 hectares (more or less), alongside. Across two titles, the combined holding offers rare scale in one of Timaru’s most sought-after lifestyle locations, just minutes from central Timaru with Gleniti Golf Course close to the boundary.

Surrounded by established lifestyle properties, original homesteads and quality executive homes, land of this scale in such a tightly held location is increasingly difficult to secure.

Elevated above the surrounding landscape, the property captures expansive views across the Canterbury Plains towards Mt Cook, Mount Hutt, Four Peaks, Two Thumb Range and the Southern Alps, with the Hunter Hills completing the western outlook and views to the East of the sea. Multiple building platforms provide options to position a substantial home to make the most of the views, sun and setting.

Established planting, water connections and supply tanks for the proposed allotments are already in place. The 22.0920 hectares (more or less) title also has approved subdivision consent for five allotments of approximately 5.12 hectares, 5.01 hectares, 4.96 hectares, 4.87 hectares and 2.12 hectares subject to survey.

Further work is required to complete the subdivision, while the adjoining 10.000 hectare (more or less) title provides the potential to complete a survey process and create a total of six titles across the combined holding.

32.0920 hectares (more or less) across two titles, available to purchase together or separately, with the scale and potential to shape the property around your plans.
