An Exceptional Home. An Enviable Lifestyle.

Deadline Sale: Wednesday 11 November 2026 at 2.00pm (unless sold prior).

Some homes offer space. Others offer a lifestyle. At 195 Osborne Road, you can enjoy the very best of both.

Set across 4.09 hectares (approximately 10 acres) in sought-after Horsham Downs, this impressive 482m² brick residence combines generous proportions, beautiful surroundings and the freedom of country living, all within easy reach of Hamilton.

From the moment you step through the front door, there is an immediate sense of space and something special. An impressive entrance draws your eye through the home towards the picturesque pond and established grounds beyond, creating a memorable first impression.

Built in 2013, this substantial home has been thoughtfully designed for comfortable family living and effortless entertaining. The north-facing living spaces welcome an abundance of natural light, while the generous kitchen and dining areas connect beautifully with outdoor entertaining spaces, providing the perfect setting for family gatherings or simply enjoying the peaceful rural outlook.

With five generous bedrooms, three bathrooms and two spacious living areas, there is exceptional flexibility for growing families, those working from home or extended families looking to enjoy life together. Upstairs, a light-filled, versatile space offers the choice of a home office or an additional living area, with beautiful views over the pond and a door opening directly onto the upstairs deck. This inviting retreat provides an additional sense of space and separation, allowing different generations to enjoy their independence while remaining under one roof.
Beyond the home, the lifestyle is equally appealing. Established trees, landscaped gardens and the picturesque pond create a beautiful setting, while fenced paddocks provide room for horses, grazing or simply enjoying the freedom of your own land.

Practicality has certainly not been overlooked. Three-car garaging, substantial additional shedding and covered parking provide excellent options for vehicles, equipment and hobbies. Solar panels, filtered bore water, double glazing, a glasshouse and vegetable gardens are further features of this well-established lifestyle property.

And while the setting feels wonderfully private, the location keeps everything within easy reach. Horsham Downs School is just minutes away, with Rototuna Junior and Senior High Schools within the school zones, and Rototuna shopping, amenities and expressway connections conveniently close.

With 4.09 hectares in this desirable location, purchasers may also wish to undertake their own independent enquiries into any longer-term opportunities for the land, subject to the relevant planning requirements and approvals.

A substantial family home, beautiful grounds and the space to enjoy a lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find so close to the city.

195 Osborne Road offers more than a place to live — it's a place to bring family together, create lasting memories and enjoy an exceptional lifestyle.

We invite you to experience it for yourself.

The ultimate weekend bolthole

1188E Tinopai Road is the sort of property Auckland buyers dream about finding - 12.4707 hectares (more or less) of quality coastal grazing land, direct shared access to the Kaipara Harbour, and some of Northland's best fishing virtually on your doorstep. All of this sits just around 1 hour 45 minutes from the North Shore, making it realistic as a weekend escape now and a permanent move later.

The land is well set up and immediately usable, with good fencing and troughs servicing the paddocks. There is enough scale here to run stock and enjoy a genuine rural lifestyle, without taking on an overwhelming farming operation. A 1/7 share in a beautiful native bush block adds another dimension to the property, giving you space to explore, unwind and enjoy the birdlife and natural environment that makes this part of the Kaipara so special.

For fishermen and boaties, the location is a real standout. Direct shared water access opens up the Kaipara Harbour and its huge network of channels, bays and fishing grounds. Launch the boat, chase snapper, set the rods, or simply spend the day exploring the harbour before heading back to your own private block. It is the sort of setup that makes Friday afternoon traffic north feel worthwhile.

The vendors have already created a useful base with small sheds and an outdoor kitchen area, while house plans were previously submitted to Council before their own plans changed. This gives incoming buyers a great starting point to create their own coastal home, cabin retreat or future family base, subject to the usual approvals.

For Aucklanders looking for more land, more freedom and a genuine escape from city life, this is a compelling proposition. Use it as a weekend bolthole, run a few animals, or be hands-off and have it grazed by a neighbour. Build when the time is right, or simply secure a quality coastal landholding for the future. Opportunities that combine usable land, harbour access and this level of proximity to Auckland are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Purchase price is plus GST (if any).

The magic of waterfront

Imagine two hectares of extraordinary estuary-side land, private boat launching, an exclusive gated setting and the opportunity to create an exceptional architectural residence.

Tern Point totals 127 hectares, bounded by the Pacific ocean and Mangawhai estuary, with 84 hectares in farmland, communal olive grove and walking tracks for residents. With a gated entry you have peace of mind and the tree-lined drive in welcomes you to your piece of paradise.

The Boatshed is a property that offers far more than a place to live with peaceful, rural surrounds - the balance of your two hectares is in the neighbouring paddock as part of the working farm meaning no neighbours building on that side.

The existing, spacious two-level apartment-style dwelling offers great accommodation to continue to enjoy as is or utilise while designing and building a main residence. The ground level living area offers roomy open plan living with a modern kitchen keeping the house chef connected with family and guests as food is being prepared. With Bosch oven, micro-combi, induction hob, dual sinks and Dektron engineered stone kitchen bench, creating meals will be a joy. Triple and double bi-folds open out to two aspects of the home allowing enjoyment of sun and shade as desired and handy when the freshly caught fish is sizzling on the barbie. The high stud provides an airy, light filled living area and a heat pump provides ambient temperature all year round.

The adjacent bathroom is great when heading back in off the water, whether swimming, skiing, sailing or fishing and the additional toilet in the upstairs bedroom offers further convenience. The bedroom is expansive with room for seating to enjoy a good book, whether inside or out on the balcony, taking it the sights and sounds of being near the water.

The capacious, internal high stud garage provides secure storage for your boat, and when heading back in off the water there are jets in the drive to wash the underside of the boat and an outdoor shower for the family. An added bonus, the resident's boat launching includes a shed to store kayaks and paddleboards, a children's playground plus gazebo and picnic tables to sit and enjoy the view. Boaties will love it here, whether a jet-ski, sealegs, or something in between. Fun in or on the water is what coastal living is all about and for landlubbers, Te Arai, Tara Iti and Mangawhai golf courses are only 30 or 15 minutes away plus there are weekend markets, a fabulous range of eateries, vineyards and boutique shops.

The foundations for an exceptional lifestyle are already here and with approximately 6,000sqm (more or less) to develop and enjoy, the exciting opportunity lies at the front of the property where you can build your dream residence - perfectly positioned to capture expansive views down the estuary and make the most of this remarkable waterfront setting.

Make the time to come and view this property of promise where weekends feel longer, mornings feel better and life moves at your pace.

The art of a beautiful Hawke’s Bay life

An idyllic country setting on the doorstep of Havelock North, one of the North Island’s most sought-after villages. Here, life is framed by the beauty of Te Mata Peak, walks through the redwoods, local cycle trails and celebrated wineries, including Craggy Range. The village brings together excellent dining, boutique shopping and a welcoming community, with Napier, Hastings, Hawke’s Bay Airport and a choice of coastal destinations all within easy driving distance. Whether you’re discovering Hawke’s Bay from abroad or returning to make it home, there is so much to look forward to.

At the end of a tree-lined driveway, with views across the hills and out to the Peak, this exceptional property offers the privacy, peace and space to enjoy it. The striking cedar-clad entrance hints at what awaits within, where thoughtful architecture and impressive finishes make you want to settle, to pause, to simply be. An extensive renovation, complemented by thoughtfully designed new additions, has created a home with clean lines, warm textures and an abundance of natural light. A bespoke cedar and glass door opens to American oak floors, leading into generous open-plan living. Expansive double glazing frames the landscape, while the sculptural Stovax wood burner makes a striking centrepiece, bringing warmth and presence to the room.

The kitchen is beautifully considered, with premium finishes, a show-stopping scullery and an integrated laundry. There is an ease to the layout, whether it’s just the two of you at home or a full house for the weekend. Living extends naturally outdoors, where a series of beautifully connected spaces offers something for every season. The in-ground pool and surrounding terraces invite long summer afternoons, while the covered entertaining area with adjustable louvres provides a sheltered setting for dining and gathering throughout the year. The substantial outdoor fireplace adds another wonderful dimension, particularly as the evenings cool. A long lunch, a quiet swim or a glass of wine as the light changes over the hills; you can picture yourself enjoying it all.

One of my favourite features is the almost secret primary suite. Tucked behind a discreet door, it feels wonderfully private, with a beautifully finished ensuite and, of course, a walk-in wardrobe. You can see the thought that has gone into creating a space entirely your own.

The guest wing brings its own sense of resort living. A bedroom with ensuite, separate lounge, private entrance, parking and patio give visitors room to relax and enjoy their independence. It’s a particularly appealing arrangement for family coming to stay a little longer, perhaps travelling from a little further away. What a memorable place to arrive and feel immediately rested.

Upstairs, two generous bedrooms each have an ensuite and stunning views, alongside a versatile loft-style room that lends itself to play, hobbies or somewhere for younger family members to spread out, hide away and let their imaginations fill the afternoon.

The grounds are equally inviting, with established landscaping, generous lawns and a lovely flow between the different areas. Raised vegetable gardens, an orchard and greenhouse offer plenty for those who enjoy growing their own, while the beautifully maintained outdoor spaces provide room to entertain, relax or simply enjoy the peace of the countryside.

Access to bore water, substantial water storage and a purified water system provide valuable water security, while solar power supported by a Tesla battery offers greater energy efficiency. A double garage and separate storeroom provide further storage or workshop options, while the additional shedding is exceptional. Both three-bay and two-bay sheds offer substantial room for vehicles, equipment and interests that need a little more space, with a further smaller shed providing practical storage for the mower and firewood.

Beyond the home and established grounds, the flat, fertile land is currently leased for cropping, sheep grazing and hay baling. There is the option to continue these arrangements or take a more hands-on approach, with equestrian potential adding further appeal.

For me, it’s the care behind this home that makes it so memorable. Spaces to come together, places to quietly withdraw, and beautiful surroundings that become part of your everyday life. A remarkable place to call home, with the freedom to enjoy Hawke’s Bay at your own pace.

I’d love to show you through. Call to arrange an appointment.

Private Paradise - Nature is Your Neighbour

Tranquillity, privacy, birdsong and fresh mountain air. A place to slow down, breathe deeply and truly hear your own thoughts. This is more than a home; it's a lifestyle, and one that my vendors have treasured for the past 17 years.

Tucked away from prying eyes and the everyday bustle of suburbia, this special haven has been the backdrop to a lifetime of precious memories, from raising their child to enjoying time with their grandchildren. Now, as they embark on their next chapter, they invite a new family to discover this remarkable setting and create treasured memories of their own.

Meandering up the tree-lined driveway, you could almost imagine you're heading towards the heights of the Hakarimata Ranges. But as the property comes into view, you're greeted by a scene that feels straight out of a country living magazine. Nestled amongst a beautiful native bush setting, this spacious family home enjoys a wonderful sense of seclusion, with leafy outlooks from every angle.

Step inside and the sense of space immediately welcomes you. A wide entrance hallway, impressive high stud ceilings and exposed beams create warmth, character and a feeling of understated country charm.

The home offers three generous double bedrooms, a separate family room and spacious open-plan living, dining and kitchen areas, providing room for the family to spread out while still enjoying time together.
The country-inspired kitchen feels perfectly at home in its natural surroundings, with generous bench and cupboard space, a large pantry and all the essentials for everyday living and entertaining. A charming office nook provides a quiet corner to catch up on work, settle in with a good book or simply enjoy a peaceful cuppa while taking in the outlook.

When it comes to entertaining, the expansive decking offers an exceptional setting for summer barbecues, family gatherings or simply relaxing amongst the trees. Venture up to the slightly elevated garden area, where a small pool invites you to unwind while soaking up the breathtaking bush views. Listen carefully and you may hear the distinctive calls of tÃÆ'…«ÃÆ'Þ« and kererÃÆ'…«, accompanied by the gentle sounds of the stream meandering below.

Beyond the home, the property continues to deliver that wonderful rural feel. The original woodshed and calf-rearing shed remain, adding to the property's character, while the usable land is currently grazed by the neighbours' sheep.

And for families, just imagine the childhood this setting could offer. Adventures by the stream, eeling on a lazy afternoon, tree huts tucked amongst the trees, and endless games of hide-and-seek in a natural playground that most children can only dream of. This is the kind of environment where imaginations run wild and childhood memories are made.

Meticulously cared for and beautifully manicured, the property reflects the pride and attention its owners have invested over the years. A single garage and ample parking at the top of the property provide practical convenience without detracting from the peaceful surroundings.

Yet despite this wonderful sense of escape, convenience remains close at hand, with The Base approximately 14 minutes away by car and easy access to the Waikato Expressway.
If you're yearning for a lifestyle where privacy, nature and family living come together, where the birdsong replaces the traffic noise and the pace of life feels a little more relaxed, this is an opportunity to secure something truly special.

Your own private paradise awaits. Come and experience the magic for yourself.

Just under an acre of beautifully established planting creates a world of its own. Lush, layered and wonderfully immersive, a garden designed to be explored rather than simply viewed. Indeed, this is a place so special it has become a regular feature on the Garden & Art Trail. Add a gorgeous in ground pool with a ‘tropical oasis’ vibe, generous outdoor spaces, that extraordinary outlook, and an architecturally designed home and the ingredients for a rather enviable lifestyle are all here.

The home… well, that's where things get even more interesting.

Rustic from the outside, warm, welcoming and wonderfully spacious within, it has an individuality that is becoming increasingly rare.
This is a home with character and soul – the kind that reveals another little surprise around every corner. Rustic timber, rich rimu panelling, stained-glass details and a delightfully individual collection of architectural touches give it a personality that simply can't be replicated in a new build.
At the heart of the home, the spacious rustic kitchen and dining area are anchored by a Lady Kitchener woodburner – an inviting gathering place in winter, while in summer life naturally gravitates outdoors.

Offering that rare trifecta of a very desirable home, a spectacular view and those magnificent gardens, this is truly a very special property. With our vendors now ready to hand over the keys, give us a call today and book a time to explore this fabulous opportunity. We know you’ll adore it!
