Tucked away up a peaceful no-exit road in Te Miro, just 15 minutes from Cambridge, lies a truly unique lifestyle property where nature and privacy reign supreme. Harbutt Glade is an off-grid oasis nestled in mature native bush with its own fresh-water stream, complemented by the chatter of birdsong and the swooping of Kereru amongst the trees.
This 1.2-hectare (more or less) slice of paradise has been lovingly planted and developed into a secluded weekend retreat ideal for those seeking to relax, unwind, and reconnect with the outdoors. Whether you're into rustic glamping or simply dream of a quiet bush-clad sanctuary, this property has everything you need to recharge and feel at home in nature.
Wander through the bush tracks, cross footbridges over the gurgling stream, and discover multiple plateaus perfect for pitching tents, and escaping the frantic pace of everyday life. A level site offers potential for a permanent build or tiny home, giving you the freedom to shape your dream eco-retreat.
While unconsented, the existing basic infrastructure provides everything you need to start living or hosting right away: a cosy cabin powered by solar and with gas hot water, featuring a kitchen with fridge and cooking facilities, a separate bedroom, and a communal fire pit and outdoor dining area ideal for socialisng and entertaining family and friends. A separate ablution block houses a shower and long-drop toilet, and you'll find two free-standing outdoor baths for starry-night soaking.
Water is spring-fed, collected in an elevated tank, and gravity-fed down to the site – a simple, effective off-grid setup. The property has been hired out to private camping groups as well as being used during the summer by wellness practitioners hosting day retreats.
This is not just a property - it’s a lifestyle, a vision, a chance to own something truly special. Located only 12.5 km from the SH1 expressway, Harbutt Glade offers a rare mix of seclusion and accessibility.
Whether you’re seeking a weekend getaway, rustic glamping business potential, or a back-to-nature lifestyle, this hidden gem is ready to welcome you home.
