122 Monowai Road, Wainui, Rodney

Live in the country, 25 minutes from the city

If you are searching for paradise, an exotic idyllic and tropical hideaway, 'Kauri Ridge' is the oasis you are looking for. 'Kauri Ridge' is so much more than a property, it is a home.

9.7 hectares (more or less) of majestic native bush is the backdrop. The soaring kauri, with some specimens estimated over 200 years old, are truly breath taking. The birdsong will make your heart sing. Start your day with a coffee on the extensive decks contemplating your day to the call of the tui and wood pigeon.

The one level bungalow just oozes character with open plan living, either formal dining or English bar room. Expansive French doors all throw open to the entertaining areas, with wide steps that merge with the lawn areas and established gardens that surround the house.

The large country kitchen with herb garden windows really brings the outside in and there is an amazing old range which is perfect for soups or maybe a loaf of bread. Three spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms and double garaging finish the main home.

Added to this exceptional unique and rare offering is a completely separate one bedroom cottage, with a totally separate entrance and totally secluded from the main home, making it the perfect Air BnB, extended family or a work from home option.

If you can imagine board walks, swing bridge and tropical ponds with lilies and a Balinese inspired gazebo you can really get a feel of what a paradise 'Kauri Ridge' really is.

This gorgeous lifestyle property is on a sealed road only 12km to Silverdale, handy to Orewa Beach and all the amenities that Orewa has to offer and an easy commute to Auckland City (only 25 minutes off peak).
