Where the grass is greener

Top of the world and sprawling natural beauty, that's the opening scene here. Welcome to a captivating lifestyle property. Set on 3.029 hectares, it feels a million miles from civilisation - yet Paihia waterfront is just 7 minutes away, and Kerikeri Township reached in 20 minutes.

The owners describe their countryside oasis as very comfy, inviting and relaxed. The home is a real sunshine magnet, with a wonderful open plan kitchen, dining and living area that maximises its rural outlook.

A favourite spot for the vendors? The deck, where coffee in the morning sun really warms the soul. The birdlife here is spectacular, and the Birds-of-Prey often dip and dive at eye level, putting on a show.

With four-bedrooms, two bathrooms, a swimming pool, fruit trees, and a plus-sized double garage - this is a true family haven. The master bedroom and ensuite is a recent addition, set away in its own private quarter - and with that view over the pool, framed in lush plantings, it's a special retreat.

But the best part? For so many it will be the large 11 x 7m shed and workshop. What a fantastic space for tinkering on projects or working from home - complete with purpose-built benchtops, drawers and hidden cupboards. You need to see it to appreciate it.

Two fenced paddocks are ready for a few cattle, and the top acre is fully-fenced and pet-proofed, making it ideal for dog owners. Both north-facing and south-facing sides of the land can be seen from the home, along with a glimpse of the river (with access at the bottom of the property). Overall, this is an incredibly private and peaceful address.

In summer, you'll welcome the cool breezes that come with an elevated position, making it comfortable inside and out. The home enjoys abundant natural light across the living areas and has a wood-fire for the cooler months.

An address this close to the magical Bay of Islands and Kerikeri is a winner, come and see how the good-life might suit you too. With plans to return overseas to be closer to family, the vendors are motivated and ready to move. For the full info pack, call today.
