Farm Life Without Compromise

Seldom does a property this immaculate, productive and manageable come to market. 550 Redwood Valley Road sits at the end of a private drive, completely secluded, with infrastructure designed to make farm management a breeze.
Built in 2018, the home has been cleverly designed to complement farm life. Wide open living spaces flow from a well-appointed kitchen with walk-in pantry through to a generous dining area that opens onto a covered alfresco area with garden and Tasman Bay views.

His and hers dressing rooms and a full ensuite complete this private wing, with sliding doors to the garden and a short walk to the pool. Two further double bedrooms, both generously proportioned, share a full bathroom and are separated from the master by the living areas and kitchen. A fourth bedroom is currently used as an office.
A practical wet area near the entry provides space for coats, boots and outdoor gear, alongside a large indoor wood store that loads from the exterior so no heading outside in the cold or wet to keep the log burner going. Radiator heating throughout connects to a purpose-built hot water cylinder fed by the log burner, with an abundance of firewood available on the property.

The farm
Currently running 60 breeding cows and replacements across seven well-fenced paddocks. Two units of Redwood Valley water are reticulated to concrete troughs throughout, with rainwater also stored on site. The property is ground fertilised and well maintained.

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.

Perched gracefully above sweeping tiered lawns and surrounded by beautifully established gardens, this remarkable property offers a sense of privacy, scale, and timeless sophistication.
From the moment you arrive via the curved driveway, framed by tropical nikau palms, there is a feeling that this is somewhere truly special. Landscaped gardens with mature plantings and even your own private forest create a setting that feels both tranquil and enchanting. Elevated to capture an extraordinary panorama, the views stretch across Napier Hill, the iconic Marine Parade pines, the sparkling Pacific Ocean, and onward to the twinkling wind turbines on the distant hills.
Originally designed in the 1970s by renowned architect Guy Natusch and thoughtfully renovated in the 1990s, the home is a superb example of enduring design. Rich in character, it showcases exquisite rimu detailing throughout - from the beautifully crafted wall panelling to polished timber floors accented with elegant brass inlays.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen, dining, and family room are bathed in natural light, with cathedral-beamed ceilings enhancing the sense of openness and warmth. Ranch sliders provide seamless flow to the landscaped gardens beyond. A separate formal living room offers a refined retreat, complete with extensive built-in timber cabinetry, while a third living area - currently used as a seventh bedroom - could equally serve as a games room, home office, studio, or business space.
Six generously proportioned bedrooms provide exceptional flexibility for family living, guests, or multi-generational accommodation. Each room enjoys a sense of space and calm, with thoughtfully positioned windows capturing natural light and outlooks across the surrounding landscape - ensuring every bedroom feels connected to the home’s elevated setting.
Outside, the grounds are as practical as they are beautiful. The fully fenced tiered lawns provide a safe haven for children and pets, while an extensive automated irrigation system keeps the gardens thriving with ease. Raised vegetable beds, a chicken coop, garden sheds, and a woodshed with attached storage room add to the property’s self-sufficient charm.
Parking is exceptionally well catered for, with a four-car open carport and ample additional off-street space for family and guests.
This is a home of remarkable character and versatility, where architecture, landscape, and breathtaking views come together to create something truly memorable.
A property of this calibre is best experienced in person - make it a priority to come and discover all that it has to offer.

Invest Now. Options Later - 7.014ha

Situated on the edge of Blenheim, this versatile semi-rural holding is perfectly placed between Burleigh and Springlands, an area continuing to evolve as one of the region’s most sought-after growth corridors. Spanning 7.014ha of flat land, the scale and location make it a potentially outstanding option for investors, developers, lifestyle buyers, or those seeking a vineyard asset in a premium setting. Currently zoned Rural Environment, the property is an established Sauvignon Blanc vineyard with 2.8m row spacing and an approximate 6.5ha canopy, supported by a reliable water supply and existing viticulture infrastructure. With potential future possibilities (subject to council requirements), it also presents a compelling land-bank opportunity, just minutes to Springlands and Westwood Shopping centres, providing everyday amenities.

Opportunities of this size so close to town are increasingly rare, with surrounding smaller holdings being tightly held and steadily absorbed over time. Whether your focus is yield, long-term capital growth, or securing a strategic site for future development, this is a straightforward property with clear upside and immediate possession available.

The vines are approximately ten years old, with consistent production of around 15 tonnes per hectare in recent seasons. With no sheds or buildings, the site is clean and uncomplicated, ideal for buyers wanting a manageable viticulture portfolio, a blank canvas to create a lifestyle base, or a low-maintenance holding to retain and optimise. For those looking longer term, there is also scope to mothball or remove the vines, should you prefer to land bank or reposition the property for future opportunities.

A property offering location, scale and flexibility this close to Blenheim is tightly contested. To appreciate the options on offer, contact me to arrange a personal and private viewing.
