Nature Got It So Right Here!

This property has sold.

Abundant outdoor beauty extends across four hectares of protected native bush including a roaring river and sumptuous rock-lined gardens. The highlight? An utterly majestic 14-metre waterfall complete with rapids and plunge pool. This unique property is an irresistible outdoor haven for all ages.

Kauri, Totara and Rimu trees stand proud within a regenerating forest and a collection of walking tracks give family and friends a playground in their own backyard. What could unfold here? Certainly the meditation platform set high in the trees is an ideal business prop for a wellness retreat.

Aptly named, 'Hidden Waters' is a bounty of special gifts from nature, backed up with a full rural package of two dwellings - a family homestead and an iconic schoolhouse, plus a large garage currently used for storage . Each dwelling is separated by a vast stonewall and garden. 1920's Californian bungalow charm is ever present in the four-bedroom, two bathroom homestead. A renovation has been sympathetic to the best parts of this era; high ceilings, several French doors, stunning timber flooring and bespoke timber joinery, whilst a raft of modern comforts has been applied. A new kitchen has premium appliances and room for several cooks to create. There are three living areas - lounge, dining and library. Sitting pride of place on the deck is an outdoor bath.

The one-bedroom schoolhouse brings all the cheek and fun of a classroom, complete with a large blackboard. Highpoints of this studio include French doors, beautiful timber flooring, a modern kitchen and bathroom, plus an open plan living area flowing out to a deck. Maybe a writer or artist will take residence here.

The property is currently run as a boutique accommodation business sleeping up to 10 people. (http://www.kerikeriholidayhome.co.nz/). Both dwellings are sold fully furnished allowing continued holiday letting for new owners.

Why not put waterfall ownership on your bucket list!
