Idyllic Ida Valley Lifestyle

Sometimes, in life, you get lucky. You time it, just right. Now’s one of those times. You see, 132 Aston Road has never been on the market before. The owners have loved this magical wee Moa Creek property so much – they’ve lived here - more or less - for five decades.
They’ve raised children and sheep. They’ve swam in the creek that gave the area its name. Pulled lobsters from it. They’ve grown fruit. Produced jams and chutneys. They’ve barbequed under Central’s scorching hot sun. The house-proud couple don’t want to leave but are smart enough to realise they must. Their departure means someone else can enjoy this idyllic little Ida Valley escape as much as they have.

The immaculate 1960’s built three-bedroom one-bathroom plaster-over-brick home sits on just over 3.3 hectares of rolling, well-sheltered and irrigated land. The house has two double bedrooms and one smaller one, which is currently being used as an office. The tidy family bathroom, which incorporates a shower over a bath, features underfloor heating, while there’s a second toilet in the laundry. The kitchen, living, and dining space is open plan and is heated by a log burner, cool old Orion coal range and heat transfer system. Almost all the windows and doors are double glazed, and this older home is well insulated, ensuring you stay warm in the winter. There’s a large walk-in-pantry off the kitchen for the jams and chutneys you’ll produce from the property. There are two beaut entertaining areas – a spacious north facing deck off the front of the house – as well an elevated patio and shade sail – perfect for those summer barbies.

The well-maintained property boasts heaps of shedding. There’s a couple of smaller storage sheds near the house, a one car garage, and a 3-bay shed with lean to and sheep handling facilities. The lawns and garden are just as immaculate as the house and offer raspberries, strawberries, blackcurrants, pears, grapes, apples, rosemary and more. The land is fenced into four paddocks and can be flood irrigated four times a season, which means this wee property can grow heaps of grass for your choice of animals. There’s a small pond, lots of lovely trees – some of which can be used for firewood – and then there’s that gorgeous wee Moa Creek that makes its way through this idyllic little property.

This exceptional lifestyle property – on the market for the first time – is just 27 kilometres from Alexandra and the lucky new owners will enjoy everything ‘the good life’ has to offer in this special part of country.

132 Aston Road, Moa Creek – your future starts here.

Architecture in a protected landscape

There are houses that sit on a landscape, and those that belong to it. Designed by Fearon Hay Architects, The Long House is firmly the latter.

Set within the rural landscape of Kumeu, the house is defined by its long horizontal form, considered proportions and close relationship with its surroundings. Its architecture is deliberately restrained, allowing the materials and landscape to take precedence.

Stone, French oak and aged brass establish a rich, tactile palette, bringing warmth and quiet sophistication to the restrained architecture. Expansive glazing blurs the boundary between inside and out, creating a seamless connection with the surrounding landscape, while the swimming pool and outdoor terraces extend the living spaces beyond the home.

Beyond the house, a substantial barn, stables, arena, post-and-rail fencing and a tranquil stream contribute to an authentic rural lifestyle.

The relationship with the land extends beyond the architecture. Part of the property is subject to an ecological covenant protecting habitat and connectivity for the native long-tailed bat, or Pekapeka, one of New Zealand's most threatened native species.

This commitment to the natural environment adds another dimension to the property, helping preserve an important part of the landscape for future generations.

An agreement with the Crown for the acquisition of approximately 0.98 hectares has been settled subject to survey, supporting the long-term protection and enhancement of the natural environment. The arrangements form part of the wider planning for the proposed Alternative State Highway. Further information is available to prospective purchasers.

The Long House is a considered expression of New Zealand architecture, shaped by its surroundings and set within a landscape protected for future generations.

There's a certain feeling that comes with having room to breathe.

Mornings begin beneath mature trees, with birdsong and open skies for company. Summer afternoons are spent by the pool, fruit is gathered from the orchard and animals graze quietly in the paddocks.

Spanning approximately six hectares, Nutgrove offers space, privacy, and a wonderful sense of seclusion. An oak-lined driveway leads to established gardens and mature plantings, while the walnut trees that give the property its name are dotted among five fenced paddocks. An orchard and vegetable gardens add to the property's country charm, creating a landscape that feels a world away.

At approximately 260sqm, the single-level brick home enjoys views across the grounds. The kitchen features oak cabinetry and granite benchtops, while four bedrooms include a generous master suite, complete with walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and doors opening out to an outdoor sitting area beside the pool. Two living areas, a dedicated study, family bathroom, and separate laundry provide flexibility, while an oversized double internal-access garage offers extensive built-in storage.

Thoughtfully upgraded for modern living, the home offers comfort, efficiency, and reduced running costs. Double glazing, ceiling insulation, five heat pumps and a log burner are complemented by a 12kW solar array with battery storage and EV charging capability. The payoff is striking, with the current owners reporting that after receiving solar export credits, the net electricity costs over the past 12 months came to just $11. Filtered drinking water and a private bore add further appeal.

Beyond the home, a separate 36sqm workshop, two-bay 6m x 6m barn, woodshed, clip-in irrigation points, and septic system complete the property's rural infrastructure.

For all its sense of retreat, everyday conveniences remain remarkably close. Mandeville Village shops are only minutes from your gate, with sporting and recreational facilities practically on your doorstep. Rangiora is approximately 15 minutes away, with Christchurch an easy 25-minute commute.

With the owners downsizing and committed to seeing Nutgrove sold, they are determined to achieve a result at auction - creating an exciting opportunity for buyers to secure this truly special property ahead of Christmas.

Stone, scenery and seclusion

Auction (unless sold prior)
From 11am, Thu 26 Nov 2026
3 Deans Avenue, Chch

Four hectares of absolute privacy, magnificent lakeside grounds and the character of West Coast stone architecture give this Tai Tapu estate a place at the very pinnacle of lifestyle living.

Set well beyond the road, a tree-lined arrival reveals a remarkable landscape, leading to a residence framed by sweeping lawns and layered gardens, with a private boathouse and lakefront views that are nothing short of spectacular.

West Coast stone construction and timber floors give the home its distinctive country charm, while the classically appointed interiors carry the calibre of Ingrid Geldof's design work in the kitchen, family bathroom and laundry.

The kitchen and dining area form the household's centrepiece, with Miele appliances, an integrated coffee machine and granite benchtops complemented by a bay-window seat that gives garden views a place at the table.

The lounge claims its own advantages, pairing fireside warmth and library shelving with a spectacular lakefront outlook, before opening to a vine-covered pergola terrace, with integrated speakers lending atmosphere indoors and out as morning coffees, long lunches and evening gatherings gain a front-row position to the property's enchanting scenery.

Accommodation takes a future-proofed approach, with the ground-floor master suite securing ensuite privacy and walk-in robe convenience, while the upper level features three bedrooms, a family bathroom with underfloor heating and a second living space, giving the younger generation or guests a domain of their own.

Double glazing and five heat pumps keep year-round comfort well covered, while a dedicated study and separate laundry give work and household routines their own place in the floor plan.

The grounds are as productive as they are picturesque, incorporating extensive fruit plantings, a berry garden, a shade house and a tunnel house, with a private well and filtered household water supply adding another measure of self-sufficiency.

Across the four hectares, vehicle and equipment storage receives an exceptional allocation, with double internal-access garaging joined by a powered and heated four-bay shed with loft storage and a further single garage, giving hobbies, machinery and lifestyle pursuits considerable room to run. A dedicated gym adds another recreational dimension, while a second lake beside the rear paddock extends the property's idyllic appeal well beyond the gardens.

Moments from central Tai Tapu and minutes from Halswell and Lincoln, the property puts convenience into the country, promising an exceptional lifestyle within a landscape of extraordinary beauty.
