Escape the Everyday. Embrace the Extraordinary.
Just an hours drive from Richmond lies a place where peace, privacy and self-sufficiency come together in perfect harmony. Surrounded by beautifully established grounds and stunning rural and mountain vistas, this exceptional lifestyle property offers the opportunity to slow down, reconnect with nature and embrace a more sustainable way of living—without compromising on comfort.
The thoughtfully modernised 125sqm home set on 4.86ha (more or less) has been designed for relaxed, year-round living. Offering three bedrooms, a well-appointed bathroom, separate sunroom and dedicated internal storage room, it also features a cosy log burner, heat pump, retrofitted double glazing, thermal drapes and insect screens for warmth and comfort through every season. Since purchasing the property, the current owners have lovingly maintained and repainted much of the home both interior and exterior, leaving it ready to simply move in and enjoy.
One of the standout features is the expansive 36sqm covered deck and porch. Enclosed on three sides, it's the perfect sheltered space to enjoy your morning coffee, entertain family and friends, or simply unwind while overlooking the surrounding ranges as the seasons change around you.
Beyond the home, the impressive 96sqm barn offers endless possibilities. Complete with its own kitchenette, cosy sitting area and generous outdoor undercover entertaining area, it overlooks the pergola, pétanque court and fragrant lavender rows, creating a wonderful setting for gatherings, creative pursuits, additional workspace or even an area for events. An oversized separate double garage and traditional woodshed complete the extensive outbuildings.
Infrastructure has been thoughtfully developed to support productive lifestyle living. The property boasts approximately 123,500 litres of water storage, supplied via multiple tanks, supported by two pumps and a reticulated network of 15 water taps servicing gardens and living areas throughout the property.
The grounds are a true highlight. Lovingly established over many years, they feature a productive food forest with an abundance of fruit including apples, pears, plums, peaches, nectarines, cherries, figs and feijoas, alongside a diverse collection of nut trees including pecans, walnuts, chestnuts, pine nuts, almonds and hazelnuts. Established native and specimen trees—including oak, maple, cedar, birch, conifers, acacias and eucalyptus—provide shelter, seasonal colour, privacy and a sustainable source of firewood.
Predominantly flat with gentle contours, the land offers outstanding versatility for gardening, grazing, recreation or simply enjoying the open space and tranquillity.
Despite its peaceful rural setting, everyday conveniences remain within easy reach, with rural wireless internet and mobile coverage available, weekday rural mail delivery, a school bus stopping right by the front gate and the Tapawera township just a 20minute drive away.
Whether you're dreaming of a self-sufficient lifestyle, a peaceful family retreat, space to work from home, or simply a place to reconnect with what matters most, this remarkable property offers an exceptional blend of comfort, productivity and natural beauty.
This isn't simply a lifestyle block—it's a lifestyle you'll never want to leave.
