Rare entry-level lifestyle. So much to love.

Set on 5,000 square metres (more or less) of premium lifestyle land, this is one of those properties that quietly over-delivers at every turn. Post and rail fencing and a sealed driveway lead you home to a property positioned to make the most of reaching rural views — a truly immersive experience, without compromising on proximity to both Cambridge and Te Awamutu.

The main dwelling has been renovated with finesse, with a nod to vintage and retro foundations that give it genuine character. Formal living is sunken — a deliberate design choice that anchors the home's personality. A wood burner warms the family living room, which opens to the kitchen in the way a family hub should. A dedicated dining room and study nook round out the social floorplan. Accommodation includes three bedrooms, the primary with ensuite and doors to the sheltered deck overlooking the inground concrete pool and those views. The remaining two bedrooms are serviced by the gorgeous family bathroom, a real highlight of the home. Inspired vision and practicality collide in the best way. The laundry is substantial and styled to match — a detail that speaks to the care taken across the whole home.

The sleepout has been renovated in keeping with the main home and offers open-plan living and accommodation, a full bathroom, laundry facilities, and a kitchenette. It has been used as a successful Airbnb with excellent Summer occupancy — history available on request. Whether it earns its keep, houses adult children, or enables multi-generational living is entirely up to you.

Two fenced paddocks, each with a trough, offer space for a pony or small livestock. Garaging with workshop space completes the practical picture.

Ten minutes to Cambridge township. Fifteen to Te Awamutu. Five minutes to excellent primary schooling. The location offers ultimate convenience without compromising on space, fresh air, or the kind of quiet that reminds you why lifestyle living matters.

So much content at an entry-level price point, in this location, is virtually unheard of. First lifestyle block, space for a pony, income to offset the mortgage, room for the extended family — this property answers all of those briefs and more.

Owners have committed elsewhere. They are motivated and realistic in their expectations. Opportunities like this do not linger.

Prime lifestyle home and income opportunity

Just a stone’s throw west of the Kaikohe township sits this exceptional 4.8815 hectare (more or less) lifestyle property, positioned in the heart of a well-established 600 tree avocado orchard. Our vendor is finally motivated to retire after numerous years of management by herself.

The spacious three-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom home offers generous living throughout, including large bedrooms, an open plan kitchen and dining, a separate rumpus room, and a sun filled conservatory. My favourite position in the home is the living room with an impressive Metro fireplace, makes for cosy carefree, relaxing space after the days end.

Outdoor living is a standout feature, with expansive decking area coming off the dining area and leads straight out to the under-deck swimming pool perfect for summer relaxation. Imagine sitting having an afternoon drink after a day’s work in the orchard watching the kids do 'manu’s' into the pool!

The orchard is well maintained and is supported by Kiripaka loam soil, a wonderful fertile free draining volcanic soil and all have been pruned and trimmed ready to go! An excellent range of machinery and equipment, including two orchard tractors (one only two years old), a large ride-on lawn mower, hydraladda, quad, and much more to list. Water is not an issue, with a water bore onsite, with water tests available for water quality checking.

The age of the trees range from 6 to 23 years old and supplying both export and local markets, this is a rare chance to secure a thriving horticultural operation with strong future potential, especially with the predicted shortage in overseas markets next year. I have projected figures for the orchard available on request.

A superb prospect, a 'turnkey or going concern' of lifestyle, income, and location — in my eyes, I see it being a perfect opportunity for a family run business and being so close to town for schooling and work as well.

Native trees planted over many years now attract an abundance of birdlife, while a crystal-clear creek with a sandy bottom winds through the property, feeding a series of picturesque natural pools that become the centre of summer memories. Boardwalk bridges cross the water, pathways weave through native bush, and elevated paddocks capture beautiful views towards the sea and coastline.

This is a property designed for those who dream of a different way of living.

For families seeking a more sustainable and alternative lifestyle, the combination of productive grazing land, established infrastructure, reliable water supply, native plantings, and the option to purchase the property complete with the existing tiny homes provides an opportunity to create a way of life that is increasingly difficult to find. Particularly appealing to those who homeschool their children, the property offers a unique environment where learning extends beyond the classroom and into nature itself. Children can learn from the land, animals and surrounding environment, while parents enjoy the privacy, freedom, and self-sufficiency that come with owning a property of this scale.

For buyers choosing the complete property, the existing tiny homes provide flexibility rarely available in today's market. Currently, two tiny homes hold consent for residential use of up to two months per year and are connected to a consented wastewater system. Future owners may wish to explore obtaining further consents for permanent residential use, subject to the relevant council approvals. Whether accommodating extended family, creating guest accommodation, or establishing a private retreat, the property offers exceptional versatility and future potential.

For those seeking a holiday retreat or future retirement destination, Marahau continues to be one of New Zealand's most desirable coastal locations. The beaches, boating opportunities, walking tracks, kayaking, and natural beauty of the Abel Tasman attract visitors from around the world, while the property's unique setting provides a peaceful sanctuary away from the crowds. It is the perfect base from which to launch the boat, spend the day exploring the golden bays and secluded coves of the Abel Tasman, or head out on the jetski for unforgettable adventures with family and friends.

Properties such as this are exceptionally rare, offering a combination of usable land, native bush, water, privacy, and flexibility. With a consented building platform already in place and valid until 2029, this could be the perfect opportunity to create your own Grand Designs-inspired home in one of New Zealand's most sought-after lifestyle destinations.

With eight fenced paddocks, established farm infrastructure, consented wastewater systems, irrigation, sheds, storage, and a secure water supply already in place, much of the hard work has already been done.

Kauri Creek is not simply a property. It is an opportunity to create a lifestyle centred around nature, family, wellbeing, and freedom. A place where mornings begin with birdsong, afternoons are spent beside the creek, and every season brings new reasons to appreciate the land.

For some buyers, this will be a property. For the right buyer, it will be a vision for a completely different way of life.

With all services available at the entrance to the driveway, much of the groundwork has already been done. The current owners have made significant investments in the property, including two quality three-bay sheds. One shed features a lockable bay with a concrete floor and is complemented by a 2640W, 48V, 5kW off-grid solar system already installed, providing an excellent setup for immediate use.

A 25,000-litre water tank supplied from the Kerikeri Irrigation Scheme provides a reliable water source, while the property's access to the irrigation scheme is a valuable bonus for future development, gardening, or livestock. There is multiple potential building sites positioned across the property, allowing you to choose the outlook that best suits your lifestyle. Whether you're planning your dream home or embracing the simple "shed life," the hard work has already been completed, and the options are yours to explore.

The land currently has a setup for managing half a dozen horses with stables, early construction of the round pen and a paddock shelter already in place. The layout can easily be adapted to suit your vision, whether that's a small farm let, equestrian setup, gardens, orchards, or a private rural retreat. With strategic planting and landscaping, this property has all the ingredients to become a truly secluded haven. Better still, there are no restrictive covenants, giving you the freedom to develop and use the property your way.
Enjoy all-day sun and an elevated outlook across the entire block, creating a sense of space and privacy that is becoming increasingly hard to find. Located within the Kerikeri High School zone and with the school bus passing the gate, the property combines rural living with everyday convenience.
