Many years ago a farmer chose the perfect location, for his family home. Established mature native trees provide the perfect amount of shelter, north facing aspect lets in the right amount of sunshine. There is a reason he chose this spot and why the current owners have been here for over fifty years. This large brick and tile family home sitting on approx 4ha of largely flat land. Everything is here for an active lifestyle or you can just relax in your own private paradise. Located close to Kaiwaka, less than 10 minutes from Mangawhai Village, you are in the country, yet so close to beaches, cafes, schools and more. The 4 bay, 9x14m, high stud shed with covered horse boxes, its own tank/pump to provide water to the troughs, your stock will be well catered for. The separate double garage/workshop, perfect for the ute or quad bike, or your own studio. A chiller for meat or liquid refreshments will be very useful. A wood/garden shed, glasshouse and a large enclosed chicken coop for free range eggs. A large shelter belt of mature natives, with a stream running through. This has been a playground for many children over the years, catching eels, playing in the trees, cooling down on hot summer days. This property really does have it all. A place for everything, and everything in its place! The 220sqm home is light and inviting, a well-considered layout with separate office, large laundry, attached double garage and bathroom. A large heat pump and separate heat transfer system. An open fireplace in the lounge for winter nights by the fire, a separate firebox to keep the family warm at night. The modern kitchen is a joy to work in while looking out at the garden and paddocks. With four paddocks to graze horses, sheep, or cows. You can saddle up at home and ride the country roads, or join the local Hakaru pony club. Close to Mangawhai Heads and Kaipara Harbour the best of both coasts on your doorstep. Only 90 minute drive to Auckland City.Call today to make your appointment to view with Keri.
