The calling of the land

Years ago, a family found themselves standing on a piece of land that whispered to their souls. Enveloped in the arms of nature, surrounded by rolling hills, and graced with panoramic views of the countryside, the grandeur of the Kaimai Ranges and coast on the horizon, this property held an irresistible charm. The tranquillity and breathtaking vistas painted a portrait of the ideal life they had always envisioned.

Birdsong greets each morning, the rural chorus of life celebrating the beauty of simplicity. This haven has been more than just a property; it has been a canvas for a life well-lived. Children have revelled in the freedom to explore. The 39ha (more or less) has offered endless adventures - a place where a pony found a home, where balls were kicked, treehouses were erected, calves were nurtured and where the essence of childhood was simply allowed to be.

The property showcases an array of landscapes, from fertile flats to rolling hills with a solid history of thoughtful grazing and nourishment. Around 80 head of cattle fatten on the pastures, 10 or so sheep find comfort in the rolling terrain and 60-80 bales of silage are yielded annually. And, in the midst of it all - a stream meanders gracefully.

Old barns stand with pride, while yards and an ex-dairy shed reflect a legacy of hard work and heritage. A three bay shed is ready to embrace farm equipment, while garden sheds hint at tales of projects.

An updated 232sqm home sits at the property's heart. Four bedrooms have witnessed laughter and dreams, while open-plan living areas have bore witness to the ebb and flow of life. Two bathrooms, a comforting wood burner and a double garage add practicality. Dining extends to an alfresco area, and a sun-soaked deck awaits. With the possibility of a swimming pool to enhance the future, the doors are open for the next chapter of cherished moments.

Its location offers both sanctuary and convenience, so private yet close to main routes, shops, and transportation. Sold plus GST (if any).
