Off the Grid and Self Sufficient

Escape the world and empower your life - in the rolling hills behind Tauranga. Here in Ohauiti, self sufficiency thrives - yet not how you might expect. Careful thought sits at the heart of this property. It's an idyllic mix of contemporary comfort and back to basics thinking.
Solar panels, wind turbine and back-up generator are just the beginning to free you from soaring power bills. With the house five years young, double glazing goes without saying, while a wetback woodburner keeps life toasty. The decor is refreshing - a practical, pastoral ambience, off-set by clean finish, colourful accents and outdoor flow when the sun beckons. Sing to your heart's content here and the neighbours won't hear a note.
Family ties are everything of course. There is 4.5450 hectares (more or less) to graze beef, calves, sheep and ponies. Fresh produce fills the pantry, thanks to fruit trees, veges and chickens. There's also a pigsty for the scraps. A stream is a playground for kids and native plants enhance this picturesque setting. It's rural bliss.
Love the house, but admire the farm. The fencing is done, troughs are in the paddocks, a three bay implement shed includes one lock-up; and the long drive in is sealed. The hard graft is done. Here you can be out of sight, but not forgotten. It's around 3kms to Ohauiti Road, another couple to the local hall and not much further to the city limits. If you think you've seen it all - you must come and see this.
