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.

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.

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.

Set on approximately 9.5ha of waterfront land on the Weiti River, 80 Messenger Road offers an exceptional combination of land, substantial accommodation, private waterfront access and multiple avenues for future development.

The 430sqm main residence, built in 1976, features four bedrooms, two bathrooms and multiple living areas, plus a self-contained one-bedroom flat with separate entry and internal access. A second dwelling provides an additional two bedrooms and one bathroom, creating flexibility for extended family, rental income or future business use.

The property also enjoys a private jetty (replacement required) and a pair or mooring piles, (repairs required) and an outstanding waterfront setting.

For developers, investors and entrepreneurs, the scale of the landholding presents numerous possibilities to explore, including:

• Potential subdivision and development
• Boutique lodge or accommodation
• Airbnb / short-term accommodation
• Wedding or event venue
• Lifestyle retreat
• Multi-generational living

The main residence is in good condition but would benefit from renovation and modernisation, offering the opportunity to add value and create an impressive waterfront home.

Having remained in the same family for three generations, the property is now being offered to the market as a deceased estate. Purchasers are encouraged to undertake their own independent due diligence.

9.5ha. Waterfront. Two dwellings. Private jetty. Multiple possibilities.

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a property with genuine scale and the potential to create something truly unique.

All development, subdivision and commercial opportunities are subject to the relevant planning requirements, consents and approvals.

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.
