Listing ID: 43133215

A little bit country, a whole lot of home and shed

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.

Deceased Estate. A Remarkable Story.

Mid-Century Character, Generations in the Making

182 Redoubt Road is something increasingly difficult to find: a distinctive mid-century home, held within the same family since it was commissioned by the owner’s grandparents in the late 1950s.

Set across more than 9,000 sqm, (on two separate Titles) the property combines architectural character with extraordinary privacy, mature gardens, bush and open paddocks.

The home retains many of the features that make its era so appealing, including soaring ceilings, extensive glazing, original built-in cabinetry, generous verandas and a working fireplace. There is an authenticity here that a modern reproduction simply cannot create.

Outside, generations of careful planting have shaped more than 9,000 sq m of established grounds. Camellias and rhododendrons bring colour to the gardens, alongside citrus, persimmons, other fruit trees and a vegetable garden. Paths lead through the bush, while three paddocks and a workshop add to the property’s lifestyle appeal. Offered as a deceased estate, this rare opportunity to carry a much-loved home into its next chapter.

This is not a property that needs to be made special. It already is.

Now offered for sale as a deceased estate, 182 Redoubt Road presents its next owner with the opportunity to preserve and enhance a remarkable piece of Auckland residential history while enjoying the scale, privacy and lifestyle of more than two acres of land. Auction (on site) 22 October 12pm.

Note: Image digitally altered to illustrate a potential pool. No pool currently exists. Installation would be subject to feasibility, any required consents and buyer expense.

Refined rural living

Some properties make an impression before you even reach the house. 161 Tahuroa Road is one of them.

Rarely does a property this conveniently located offer such an exceptional sense of space and privacy. Set across approximately 1.6 hectares of fertile land, this is a place where the lifestyle dream feels wonderfully achievable. There's room for a few sheep or cattle, space for children to roam and explore, and the freedom to enjoy country life without taking on the demands of a much larger rural holding.

Picture slow mornings overlooking the fields, afternoons spent in the garden and long evenings relaxing on the deck as the countryside stretches out before you. Established gardens and fruit trees add to the charm, while the land offers space to grow, play and create the lifestyle you've always imagined.

Nothing says welcome home like the oak-lined driveway, with fields on either side, it creates a great sense of arrival. With expansive rural views stretching out around you, it's easy to see why this is such a special property.

Originally built in the 1960s, the home has been beautifully transformed. Thoughtful design and the considered retention of period features come together to create a stylish yet relaxed rural home.

The private master suite is a retreat in every sense, complete with a walk-in robe and a stunning ensuite featuring stone basins, gorgeous tiles and a beautiful bathtub. A second generous double bedroom is also located on this level.

Downstairs, a separate wing provides two further bedrooms, its own living area, bathroom and a substantial utility room, with direct access to a private outdoor space. It's a fantastic setup for teenagers, extended family, guests or anyone wanting a little more independence.

Outside, large shedding provides excellent storage and practical space, while there is plenty of scope to add a pool and create an exceptional outdoor entertaining area.

And then there are those views, open countryside, fields all around and a sense of peace that makes you feel a world away from the everyday.

Refined, comfortable and surrounded by countryside, 161 Tahuroa Road offers the best of both worlds: a beautifully transformed home, the freedom of 1.6 hectares (more or less) and an idyllic rural lifestyle without sacrificing convenience.

Rural capability is comprehensively covered by a woolshed, stable/implement shed, five-bay garage/workshop and boat/tractor/storage shed, while stock are equally well catered for through secure fencing and dedicated cattle yards.

A Tasman vineyard estate, refined for living

Step inside a home where quality, craftsmanship, and timeless design come together to create something truly special. Renovated to the highest specifications and presented to an impeccable standard, this stunning residence offers luxury living in one of Tasman’s most sought-after locations. At its heart, a beautifully renovated 1904 villa brings together historic character and contemporary refinement. The vendors have created a home of distinction, where original features sit alongside carefully selected materials, quality finishes and modern appointments.

Light-filled and beautifully positioned to capture all-day sunshine, every space has been thoughtfully designed for effortless living.

The elegant kitchen forms the heart of the home with a generous island, high-end appliances, bespoke cabinetry and is complemented by beautifully appointed bathrooms, and three generously sized bedrooms. The master suite is incredibly spacious, complete with a gorgeous ensuite and a walk-in robe. Year-round comfort is assured with central heating, and underfloor heating in both bathrooms.

Separate from the main home, three additional cottages provide independent accommodation, each with one or two bedrooms. The fully renovated one bed cottage currently operates as a successful 5 star AirBnB, however, they all offer flexibility for hosting family and friends, or continuing the existing accommodation arrangements, while allowing the villa to remain the central family home.

Approximately one hectare of vineyard adds another dimension to the property. The current owners run this as a successful boutique winery, complete with Cellar Door offering. The property's historic hop kiln adds another layer of character, a reminder of the area's horticultural heritage and a distinctive feature within the established grounds.

The property offers room to gather, unwind and enjoy the changing seasons, while its position brings the best of the region within easy reach. Kaiteriteri Beach is approximately five minutes away, with Mārahau and the Abel Tasman National Park around 15 minutes from home. Motueka is close by for everyday essentials, while Māpua is an easy drive for dining, galleries and the wider coastal experience.

For those considering a move to Tasman, the appeal lies in a different way of living. A private rural setting, beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces to welcome family and friends, with some of the region's most beautiful beaches, walking tracks and coastal experiences within easy reach.

Spend summer days exploring Kaiteriteri and the Abel Tasman, return to the quiet of the vineyard, or gather with family and friends across the grounds and additional accommodation. Here, the best of Tasman's coastal lifestyle is close at hand, while home remains a peaceful retreat from the summer crowds.

An established Tasman estate, offering a considered balance of character, lifestyle and enterprise.
