Where Family Traditions Begin

There is something quietly special about properties that have been designed not just to impress, but to accommodate a full life.

227 Bell Road has been a place of gathering. A home where friends and family naturally gravitate, where celebrations spill from indoors to out, and where there is always room for one more guest around the table. Set across more than four hectares with views stretching towards Mount Pirongia and Kakepuku, it's easy to understand why.

Arriving home feels special The circular driveway winds its way through established grounds before revealing a substantial residence positioned to embrace the surrounding landscape. While the scale of the home immediately commands attention, what stays with you is the warmth. This is a home that feels lived in, loved and deeply connected to its surroundings.

Built in 2004 with a clear appreciation for craftsmanship, native timbers feature throughout. Cedar entrance doors make a memorable first impression, while Rimu joinery, Kauri internal doors and Matai flooring add texture, character and a sense of permanence that is increasingly difficult to find.

The home has been thoughtfully configured for both family life and entertaining. Four generous bedrooms each enjoy their own ensuite, offering privacy and independence for family members and guests. A dedicated office provides flexibility for those working from home (or a fifth bedroom, if required), while a separate powder room and additional bathroom ensure the home caters effortlessly to larger gatherings.

One of the property's most charming features is its relationship with the outdoors. Upstairs, wrap-around verandahs connect with the bedrooms, each one opening directly outside. It's the sort of home where doors are left open in summer, where morning coffee is enjoyed with a view, and where the changing landscape becomes part of everyday life.

The seasons each bring their own rhythm. In winter, the two woodburners become the heart of the home, drawing people together after a day spent outdoors. In the warmer months, life naturally centres around the pool. Children will spend entire afternoons in the water, adults will linger over long lunches, and evenings seem to stretch a little longer as the sun sets across the countryside.

Beyond the home itself, the established grounds continue to impress. A collection of mature citrus and fruit trees, including two substantial avocado trees, provides both beauty and bounty, adding another layer to the authentic lifestyle appeal of the property.
For those seeking a true lifestyle property, the infrastructure is already here. Multiple paddocks, cattle yards, implement shedding and well-fenced grazing land offer endless possibilities, whether you're running stock, keeping horses, or simply enjoying the freedom that comes with having space around you.

And then there's the tiny home.

Tucked away from the main residence, it opens the door to so many opportunities. Whether it's a place for extended family, independent accommodation for teenagers, a work-from-home retreat, or perhaps an Airbnb or boutique glamping experience, it's easy to see guests falling in love with the same rural outlook and peaceful surroundings that make this property so special. Note: The Tiny Home will be sold ‘as is where is’.

This is the sort of home where Christmases are hosted, summers are remembered, and families gather for years to come. A property with presence, personality and room to dream a little bigger. In a world where experiences matter more than ever, this is the sort of property that encourages people to stay a little longer, slow down a little more and enjoy everything that countryside living has to offer.
