CHAPEL HILL, the end of an era.


Meet Alan and Steve on site at 11am Saturday 7, 14 and 21 November for viewing.\nFor over 30 years this treasured land on the fringe of Kerikeri has been nurtured and thoroughly enjoyed by the vendor, but now he knows it is time for him to turn his focus elsewhere. It is rare for a land block of this size and location to come onto the market and for the purchasing connoisseur who values his investment, this property has it all. The beautiful 218.3939ha of land enjoys a warm aspect, is in two titles and is well-fenced into some 29 paddocks. The entire property enjoys spectacular views, healthy pastures, good depth of soil and year-round growth. Water and springs rise off the land, streams feed all paddocks and meander through the native bush; the lie of the land lends itself to ponds and small lakes, with wetland areas already established to encourage aquatic life. The value of the land is further enhanced by bordering onto native bush reserve owned by the Department of Conservation and also the Waitangi Forest.\nThere are two dwellings on the property, each surrounded by landscaped gardens and each with its own special attractions. The totally open plan main house with its impressive rural outlook features redwood timber as exterior cladding and internal walls and ceilings, kauri benchtops, tile flooring, solar and gas heating and lighting as well as conventional methods. A separate double garage has a high stud for motor homes.\nThe second house is a tunnel shape built of ferro-cement, which some have named the Hobbit House. Again this is an open plan area with one or possibly two separate bedrooms, a totally unique design.\nOptions for the new owner are endless; the land would lend itself to subdivision within local council guidelines in a variety of forms; the existing grazing lease could be continued; the property could be land-banked as an investment for the future; it would lend itself beautifully to a retreat development; or it could simply be retained as a farm and enhanced in its entirety. \nAny future development has a head start with existing infrastructure of roading, power, and natural water.\nWhile being a peaceful haven in a world of its own, it is only 1.8 km from the farm entrance to the shops, restaurants, fresh produce markets and cafes of central Kerikeri, the growth hub of the Bay of Islands and gateway to beaches, fishing grounds and world class golf courses.\nIf this concept has interest for you, make an arrangement to inspect this very special property, and let its natural beauty suggest a direction that will be right for you. \nTake a virtual tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-yBCCbklEk \nFor sale by auction: Friday 11th December at 1pm in Kerikeri.\n
