Exceptional Hunua Homestead on 30 Hectares

There is a moment, just after you turn off the road and the house comes into view, when something in you quietly settles. You haven't even stepped inside yet. But you already feel it.
Set on 30 hectares of gently rolling Hunua countryside, just 50 kilometres south of Auckland, this is not simply a property. It is the life you have been working towards.

A Home of Genuine Distinction
Step through the entry and the house opens around you. All 562 square metres of it, designed not just for family life, but for a life lived beautifully. The kitchen, dining and living spaces flow together with an ease that only comes from thoughtful design. The dining room, with its cathedral ceiling, draws the eye upward and gives the space a sense of occasion that sets the tone for every meal. An electric fireplace with a beautiful wood effect anchors the heart of the home, casting warmth through both the living and dining rooms on winter evenings. In summer, the bifold doors fold completely away to the outdoor cedar-lined pavilion, and the heated saltwater pool beyond all become one long, effortless space.
And when the evening cools, the outdoor fireplace comes into its own. Gathered around it with guests, the cedar pavilion becomes a room without walls. The kind of entertaining space that makes people stay longer than they planned.
The kitchen is exceptional. High-gloss cabinetry, a generous engineered stone island and benchtops, Bosch appliances, and a gas hob for the main kitchen. A separate scullery with its own gas hob means the serious cooking stays out of sight when the occasion calls for it. There is a formal lounge for quiet evenings, a rumpus room for the children, and a layout that gives everyone space to be together, or to find their own corner.
Seven bedrooms, four ensuites, two family bathrooms and two separate powder rooms comfortably accommodating extended family gatherings, without ever feeling full. Two of the bedrooms feature cathedral ceilings, adding a quiet sense of volume and light that makes waking up here feel like something.
The finishes are considered and luxurious, from the beautifully tiled ensuites to the backlit mirrors that feel more like a boutique retreat than family bathrooms.
Heated floors in every bathroom. Zoned central heating throughout. Double glazing. A master suite with its own private patio, somewhere to slip out with a coffee before the day begins. A dedicated home office, a substantial laundry, an internal-access double garage with a separate workshop, and an additional garage for the toys.
Thirty-six solar panels with SoleX battery storage keep the home running quietly and efficiently. A reliable bore supplies the property with a consistent, independent water source. The details are right in every direction you look.

Thirty Hectares of Hunua
Step outside and take a breath. Productive pasture rolls away from the house. Native bush carries birdsong through the afternoon. A stream winds through the lower reaches of the property, unhurried, like everything else here.
This is the kind of land that becomes part of how your children remember growing up. Space for orchards, gardens, ponies, or simply the freedom that only land of this scale can provide.

The Best of Both Worlds
The Auckland Airport is 38 kilometres away. Auckland Central is 50. Close enough for Monday morning travel. Far enough that on a clear night you can see more stars than you can count.
Properties of this quality, this scale, and this setting are rare. The families who find them tend to stay a long time.
Come and see it for yourself. We're confident you'll feel it the moment you arrive.
Private viewings available by appointment.

A project property with scope to improve

For those ready to roll up their sleeves, this property presents a clear pathway to add value over time, anchored by a standout feature that sets it apart.

The large concrete floor half-round barn with 3 phase power and a five-bay lean-to, provides an immediate base for storage, workshop space, or a range of practical uses. It’s a structure that lends itself to both function and future planning, offering scale that’s increasingly sought after with the zoning for the property being rural industrial.

The two-bedroom home on site offers a starting point, with wooden joinery and scope to enhance. It is a space where considered updates could steadily improve both liveability and overall appeal. Adding further flexibility, a separate sleepout sits beyond the main dwelling. This is unconsented and will remain unconsented at settlement. For buyers with foresight, this opens up options to formalise or rework the space to suit longer-term intentions.

The land is framed with post and rail batten fencing, reinforcing the practical nature of the property while defining usable areas.

Set within the wider Netherton area, this location offers a balance of open farmland and everyday convenience. The surrounding landscape reflects the productive nature of the Hauraki Plains, with a sense of space that remains closely connected to nearby services.

A short drive takes you into Paeroa, where you’ll find supermarkets, cafés, schooling, and essential amenities, along with the well-known L&P Bottle. For outdoor pursuits, the Hauraki Rail Trail provides a popular walking and cycling route through the plains.
The location also allows easy access to Thames for coastal outings, while Hamilton and Tauranga remain within reach for wider work and lifestyle needs.

Altogether, this is a property that invites initiative - combining existing infrastructure with the chance to shape it into something more over time.

Big views, big potential

Set across 29.6ha of ridgelines, native gullies and open clearings, this special property delivers sweeping 270 vistas over the Motueka Valley with views to Tasman Bay and, on clear days, D’Urville Island and the St Arnaud Range.

A formed gravel driveway leads to a prepared building area that has a geotech report. Multiple natural watercourses, stands of pines for firewood, and practical access tracks make life on the land easier. Kārearea/NZ falcons are regular visitors, and stormwater culverts are already in place. Rural zoning (Rural 1 & Rural 2).

Possibilities to develop as there is a concept explored for a cluster of four small rural-residential lots within a larger balance lot or to be left as one large lot. The new owner has plenty of options to explore.

Around 15 minutes to Motueka, 25 minutes to Māpua, 45 minutes to Nelson. A rare chance to secure privacy, scale and postcard views in one package; enquire today.
