ALMOST PERFECT.

They say nothing is perfect - but 390C Lett’s Gully Road comes close.

You’d struggle to find a better presented property.

Actually, you could probably eat your dinner off the driveway, your dessert pastries off the patio.

The 2019-built block, cedar and colorsteel four-bedroom, two-bathroom home - which sits on just over two-hectares - is immaculate inside and out and is just seven kilometres from Alexandra, 5 from Clyde.

The light filled kitchen, dining and living zone is open plan and branches out onto two separate outdoor entertaining areas through stacker doors. There you’re surrounded by a well irrigated lovely green lawn, rustic garden, and – in the distance - those much-loved Central Otago views – the Dunstan, Hawkdun, and Raggedy Ranges.

I’m picking the Central Otago reds would taste pretty good from here.

Ensuring year-round comfort, there’s underfloor heating, a heat pump, as well as diesel radiators and double-glazing throughout.

A study, or small bedroom, completes the north facing section of the house, while the four good-sized bedrooms run along the ‘back’ of the dwelling – the master with walk in wardrobe and ensuite. A second bathroom, separate toilet, and double garage complete the home, but there’s a twist.

One side of the garage has been turned into a ‘studio’. This space could remain a work from home area, become another bedroom, or be converted back into a garage. You’re in charge.

Either way, this house is so well presented you’d think it wasn’t lived in – you’d think it was staged.

Unsurprisingly, the property is just as neat outside as it is in. The lawns, gardens, front entrance, parking area and paddocks are all pristine. Irrigation water and elbow grease have turned the arid ground into an almost fluorescent green.

A near-new four-bay implement shed will take care of all your bits and pieces, while the property is screaming out for a second dwelling to make the most of those fabulous views.

390C Letts Gully Road – all the work has been done – all the headaches had – you just need to move in and enjoy.

Your future… starts here.

Tropical lifestyle retreat

If you’ve been looking for a tranquil sanctuary then "Taradise" is your piece of paradise on the Tara.

With a restful, verdant outlook this inviting north facing home welcomes you in. The kitchen with breakfast bar makes mornings easy and for those more formal meals there's a separate dining room. Flowing through to the lounge the bush views are relaxing after a busy day, there's a woodburner for winter nights, and the home opens out on three aspects for outdoor enjoyment.

This thoughtful design creates family harmony with the two family/guest bedrooms and family bathroom set to one end of the home and the master suite to the other. The master bedroom opens out through to the conservatory, perfect for a relax breakfast. This is definitely the piece de resistance with drop downs and sun blinds letting you enjoy all year round. Whether a long lunch, convivial drinks, dining with friends or just kicking back with a good book, you will find it the most popular place in the home. Decking front and rear offers shade and sun as desired and after a day in the garden or on the water the spa is the place to be. Privacy is such swimsuits are optional whether in the spa or using an outdoor shower.

An additional bonus to this property is the cabin - think at home office, gym, hobbies, art studio or maybe a teenage getaway.

With just over one hectare there’s plenty to enjoy with swathes of lawn, native bush, ponds and orchard with around 25 trees. There is also three garden sheds and a greenhouse so lovers of flora and fauna will love it here.

And it’s just a short drive to the village for additional fresh produce, great coffee, a walk along the estuary and a range of cafes and takeout options.

Owners are downsizing and ready to make the move – here is your chance for that country coastal lifestyle. Make time to view.

Escape the City. Breathe Deeply

Discover Life in the Wekaweka Valley.

If you've been dreaming of pristine air, absolute privacy, and a meaningful connection to land and water, this exceptional Northland sanctuary offers a rare opportunity to step away from the pace of modern life and into something truly restorative.

Positioned high in the Wekaweka Valley, in the upper reaches of Waimamaku, this beautifully restored 1930s three-bedroom residence seamlessly blends timeless character with thoughtful modern comfort. Warm sunlight spills across original matai timber floors, creating an inviting, grounded atmosphere throughout the home.

Beneath the main dwelling, a substantial contemporary artist's studio provides outstanding versatility. Ideal as a creative workspace, guest accommodation, fourth bedroom, or potential income-generating retreat, this additional space enhances both lifestyle and flexibility.

The surrounding grounds have been carefully cultivated into a thriving food forest. Established fruit trees and raised vegetable beds offer an enviable level of self-sufficiency. In the lower section free-ranging chickens enjoy a purpose-built coop, completing the idyllic rural setting.

Encircling the property is magnificent old-growth native forest - peaceful, private, and alive with birdsong, including the iconic and rare Kiwi which can be heard calling at dusk. A private walking track winds through the bush, leading to your own stretch of the pristine Waimamaku River. Flowing year-round over ancient boulders, the river forms natural waterfalls, rapids, and deep swimming holes providing an environment for restorative contemplation or as much active exploration as a day may contain.

Just 20 minutes away lies the iconic Waipoua Forest, home to Tane Mahuta and some of New Zealand's most majestic kauri. The region is renowned for its expansive native forest and nourishing natural beauty. Coastal lovers will also appreciate the proximity to the beaches of Waimamaku, Omapere and Opononi, along with access to the spectacular Hokianga Harbour and its towering sand dunes - all approximately 30 minutes from your door.

Despite its serene and private position, the property remains well connected. A school bus services the road, G4 mobile coverage is reliable, and the home enjoys excellent internet connectivity. The village of Waimamaku is just 10km away, offering quality coffee, a well-stocked grocery store, fuel, a resource centre, and free healthcare for permanent residents.

With the owners relocating to Australia, there is also the option to purchase the property fully furnished - including gardening equipment - providing a seamless transition for its next custodians. The local community is small, diverse, and warmly welcoming.

This is more than a home - it is a lifestyle of peace, privacy, and natural abundance.

Inspections will impress.
