Tucked away in complete privacy, this is a home that feels like its own world - where nature, character and tranquillity come together just moments from the coast.
Cross the charming wooden bridge over the bubbling stream and you immediately know you've arrived somewhere different. Beyond it, a unique cedar home emerges from the native bush, surrounded by birdsong, filtered light and complete seclusion.
Set within a natural clearing, the home enjoys a wonderful connection to te taiao, with tÃ…«Ã„«, kererÃ…« and fantails frequenting the surrounding trees. There is also a quiet layer of history here, with links to early gold mining in the area - adding depth, texture, and a sense of place to an already rare and special setting.
