Living well in every sense!

Garden of Wellbeing, Mahinga Oranga! The name says it all. This wonderful, five acre property has all the ingredients for a healthy and fruitful lifestyle - positioned just 19km from Kerikeri.

Complementing its peaceful setting is a warm family home. With a nod to Settler styled architecture, its bones are big and sturdy, with room to stretch across two living areas and five bedrooms. At 320sqm the home is flexible to suit your lifestyle - care for elderly parents, give teens their own space, run a B&B, or host woofers to help.

For buyers interested in boutique market gardens, this property is an incredible choice. Fully certified organic since 2003, Mahinga Oranga has an excellent reputation for premium organic vegetables. The owner has worked his magic across approximately 3.5 acres. Regrettably, health has worked against him and much of the gardens have been retired, which means the soil capacity has never been better - rich, fertile and ripe for the next green-fingered entrepreneur. Mesclun salad and elephant garlic have been top sellers, and huge potential exists to scale-up this lifestyle business. The large shed with three-phase power is an ideal partner for prepping produce for the markets, and water is in ready supply.

Back on the home front, the established seasonal gardens will feed family and friends, native birdsong will make you smile, and summer is very pretty - full of flowering shrubs and new growth. Our vendors will miss the welcoming vibe of their sheltered home.

All the main doors open to the verandah which has been a cherished spot for a cuppa in the sun. The north-facing home supports privacy for all, with the master bedroom and ensuite separate to the guest bedrooms. Overall, this is a bright, airy home with a well-appointed kitchen, wood-fire, HRV and many other features to host an outstanding lifestyle.

One of the earliest centres of European settlement, Waimate North is respected for its historical significance and friendly community. For the full info pack, call David today.
