Blank canvas, stunning views!

Located just over 10 minutes from Havelock North, this 1.74ha lifestyle section has had a significant amount of work completed, including the formation of a large, elevated building platform offering fantastic views of the attractive surrounding rural landscape. The size of the platform will cater for a generous family home plus room for a garage, lawns and gardens.

The limestone base provides a very solid and stable platform on which to build and is accessed via a well-formed metal driveway entering from the rear of the site. Power is located at the roadside but a transformer and cabling to the site would be required. Rainwater would need to be collected into tanks and a septic system would need to be installed. The perimeter is very well fenced with conventional post and batten construction.

The site benefits from all day sun and a small pile of limestone rocks has even been left for the new owner to incorporate into future landscaping design. Make an appointment today to view this conveniently located, very special site.

Avocados, acreage and opportunity

Set across approximately 5.06 hectares, this established horticultural property brings together productive orchard land, generous family living and substantial infrastructure in an elevated rural setting.

At its heart is a mature avocado orchard, established across a mix of moderate and gently sloping contour. Already well established and productive, it provides a sound foundation for those looking to step into an existing horticultural operation, while leaving scope to consider how the land may evolve over time.

The solid brick home, built in the early 1980s, provides generous and adaptable accommodation across two levels with flexible dual living spaces offering separation between the upper and lower levels. Upstairs, a renovated kitchen connects with open-plan dining and living, where timber cathedral ceilings, a wood fire and north-facing deck create a warm and inviting hub for everyday living and entertaining. Two bedrooms, a versatile family room or office, bathroom and separate toilet complete this level.

Downstairs adds another layer of flexibility, with a third bedroom, an office or potential fourth bedroom, second living area with kitchen, bathroom, separate toilet and laundry. This level lends itself well to extended family, guests or those wanting dedicated space for work, hobbies or relaxation. A double garage with twin roller doors adds further practicality. Comfortable and functional as it stands, the home also provides scope for a new owner to modernise and add their own touch over time.

Adding to the property's functionality are two separate vehicle entrances. One provides dedicated access to the home, while the other leads directly to the orchard loadout area and substantial multi-bay lock-up shedding. This separation between the residential and horticultural areas is particularly well suited to an operating orchard and adds a practical dimension for those with machinery, equipment or storage requirements.

The property also features an appealing potential site for a minor dwelling, providing another avenue for buyers to explore, subject to council approval and their own due diligence.

The setting offers a balance of rural surroundings and everyday convenience, positioned between Katikati and Bethlehem, with Omokoroa also within easy reach. The property is zoned for Pahoia School, with the Katikati College bus route nearby.

For those considering a change in direction, there may also be scope to investigate alternative horticultural uses, including potential kiwifruit conversion, subject to suitability, approvals and due diligence.

Bringing together established production, flexible dual living accommodation, useful infrastructure and a convenient rural location, this is a property with plenty to explore.

To be sold plus GST, if any. All measurements are approximate only.

Charming classic on private one acre

Welcome to a place where history meets warmth, where every corner feels like it's been waiting for you. As you come up the drive, this early 1900s character home rises gently into view - timeless timber glowing, rooflines soft in the morning light, the whole house offering the kind of welcome usually reserved for old friends.

Once floated down the river and hauled up the hill by bullock, the home still carries the glow of native timbers, period fireplaces and the gentle crookedness that gives heritage houses their soul.

Step inside and let the house guide you. Wood panelling milled on the property wraps the living areas, warm and familiar. The cosy wetback fireplace invites slow evenings, and the kitchen with its walk-in pantry seems to say, bring your jars and recipes - I’m ready.

A light-filled fourth bedroom - a generous, adaptable space ready to become your work-from-home retreat, creative studio, or peaceful guest room. It’s a room that seems to say, whatever you need, I can be.

Open the French doors and explore the wrap-around deck, where river views drift through the day and the seasons paint the landscape in blossoms, fresh greens, colour and soft fog. Wander the 4,832sqm (approximately 1 and a quarter acres) grounds, collect the eggs, pick fruit straight from the trees, and feel the openness around you.

With a workshop space that feels like part of the adventure - around 130sqm of garaging with built-in benches, dividable areas, and a storeroom ready for projects, tinkering, or future dreams. It’s the kind of space that expands when you need it and settles quietly when you don’t.

Lived in, loved, and ready for the next hundred years of stories

The question is - will they be yours?

Back on the market - a second chance to secure this exceptional property

The previous purchaser was unable to proceed after their own property was withdrawn from the market, creating a fantastic opportunity for a new buyer. The vendors have already purchased their next home and are highly motivated to move, making this an opportunity not to be missed.

This beautifully appointed, three-level home is designed to embrace its spectacular coastal setting, with three bedrooms, generous living spaces and exceptional indoor-outdoor flow.

The lower level offers two guest bedrooms and a bathroom framed by garden views, with direct access to the established grounds.

At the heart of the home, the middle level brings together a contemporary kitchen, open-plan living and expansive decks that capture the breathtaking waterfront and mountain outlook. Outdoors, an Italian-inspired entertaining area sets the scene for memorable gatherings, complete with a stone pizza oven, fireplace and charming grapevine-covered surrounds. An adjoining spa area offers a private retreat to relax and soak in the views, while colourful established gardens and automatically irrigated raised vegetable beds add further appeal.

Occupying the upper level, the spacious master suite is a private sanctuary, featuring an ensuite, walk-in wardrobe and its own sun deck with panoramic views. A separate office completes the level, providing an ideal work-from-home space.

Additional features include a double internal-access garage, hen house, wood and garden sheds, and an artist's studio nestled in this inspiring setting.

There is potential for supplementary income, with the current owners having successfully operated an Airbnb and harvested pine nuts from approximately 300 established trees.

With private foreshore access, enjoy swimming, kayaking or simply relaxing by the water in your own backyard. This is a rare opportunity to secure a truly special lifestyle property offering space, versatility and an exceptional connection to nature.

Schooling: Diamond Harbour School is serviced by two school bus routes - one extending beyond Purau to Port Levy, and another covering Diamond Harbour, Purau and Teddington. A school bus service to Cashmere High School is also available.
