Tucked quietly away from the road and nestled down a gentle hillside, this enchanting 1.84-hectare lifestyle property offers rare privacy and a sense of complete escape—yet sits just minutes from the heart of Kerikeri. A place where birdsong replaces traffic noise, and nature frames every outlook, this is a property that truly feels like its own world.
At its heart is a charming 76sqm rustic mudbrick home, thoughtfully crafted from natural materials and designed to work in harmony with its environment. The open-plan layout is simple, warm, and welcoming, with passive solar design capturing winter sun while remaining naturally cool through summer. Timber accents, a wood-burner for cosy evenings, and the solid feel of mudbrick create a home that is both comfortable and soulful. Modern necessities are well covered, with mains power, Starlink internet, gas califonts for hot water, and a newly installed Biocycle septic system (signed off).
Please note the main house including the newly added bedroom do not have a CCC.
Surrounding the home is a landscape that has been lovingly nurtured. Native bush weaves through the property, while a permaculture-based orchard of approximately 100 fruit trees flourishes on a sunny north-facing slope—offering abundance, sustainability, and seasonal colour. A natural stream winds its way through the land, and connection to the Kerikeri irrigation scheme ensures reliable water supply year-round.
Several outbuildings including
Utility shed (approx. 2.5m x 2.5m)
Orchard tool shed / firewood / storage (approx. 4.7m x 3.3m)
Tractor shed (approx. 4m x 5m)
Pole shed (approx. 5m x 9m) with an attached container under a roof, keeping it completely watertight.
Higher on the property, an elevated potential building site opens up breathtaking north-east-facing views across native bush and beyond—an exceptional opportunity for future expansion or a second dwelling.
Lifestyle properties of this calibre and privacy are increasingly rare, especially one so conveniently located. Kerikeri township is just eight minutes away, Waipapa even closer, and Springbank School is literally down the road. The property also falls within Kerikeri Primary and High School zones, making it an ideal blend of seclusion and accessibility.
This is more than a home—it’s a sanctuary, a sustainable retreat, and a unique lifestyle opportunity waiting to be discovered.
