A lifestyle worth slowing down for

Thoughtfully positioned to embrace an expansive outlook to the entire Firth of Thames, the Coromandel Ranges and Gulf Islands, the home was built by Custom Kit with practicality and comfort in mind.

There's plenty of room for storage too, with two shipping containers and a lean-to for the boat.

Covering approximately 13.13ha (more or less), this block balances lifestyle and potential. With approximately 3 acres of usable pasture, there's plenty of scope for hobby farming or keeping a few animals, while the balance of the land is preserved in beautiful native bush including mature manuka and kanuka, producing delicious active honey. Elevated sites across the property offer potential for future development—be it a second dwelling, large barn or both. The terrain invites exploration and holds rich promise for those with a creative or sustainable vision.
