An exciting opportunity in the Far North drew our vendors to this premium property on 8.65 hectares. When exploring Kerikeri real estate they commanded something special to craft into a forever home for equestrian lovers. As architectural and interior enthusiasts, the pair have meticulously fashioned this private address into a luxury lodge vibe with first-class equine facilities.

Heritage gates create a sense of arrival, leading to an idyllic setting of pasture, trees, orchard and rockery, with modern 'black barn' architecture on a river boundary. This sanctuary lies just minutes from Kerikeri Township, providing astute buyers with an unbeatable location.

Taking inspiration from a contemporary-countryside home, the main residence has four bedrooms and has been fully refurbished with an exacting eye for style. Custom cabinetry and brushed brass fittings provide a luxe quality throughout. The designer kitchen with stone benchtops is an irresistible gathering point as it overlooks the stable and established gardens. Open plan living areas are supported by cathedral ceilings, pendant lighting and incredible windows that frame the rural setting. With many outdoor entertaining areas.

Separate from the house is a stylish one-bedroom apartment with bi-fold doors leading to a deck and private lawn. Complete with a designer kitchen, this plush self-contained accommodation is perfect for Airbnb or hosting extended family. Adjoining is a large shed with garaging, stables, tack and feed room.

Constructed to the highest standard is a professionally designed 60m x 40m arena with a sand and rubber surface, framed by attractive stone walls. An extra-large round pen, post & rail fencing, concrete wash bay - truly the inventory is endless!

Water worries are nil, with a connection to Kerikeri Irrigation and three water tanks. Best still, ask about the paperwork to subdivide, just awaiting title.
