Heritage Lifestyle Estate with Self-Sufficienc...

Positioned on an elevated 3.3328-hectare landscape, this remarkable lifestyle estate captures far-reaching rural and valley views across to the Port Waikato hills, native bush, and the winding Awaroa headwaters. Private, productive, and deeply self-sufficient, it offers a rare combination of heritage living and modern independence.

At its centre stands a beautifully restored circa 1893 villa, where timeless craftsmanship meets considered contemporary upgrades. Original kauri floors, sash windows, French doors, and elegant proportions reflect its heritage, while a substantial extension ensures modern functionality and flow. The home includes three bedrooms, a small bunk room, two bathrooms (including claw-foot bath), and a dedicated study. Living spaces are well

connected yet distinct, opening to sun-filled decks and verandas, while the kitchen and dining zone anchors the home with a Rangemaster oven, scullery, and effortless indoor-outdoor integration.

Designed for year-round comfort and efficiency, the home features a Lady Kitchener log burner with wetback, ducted heat transfer system, three modern heat pumps, and double glazing to key areas. Energy resilience is a standout, supported by photovoltaic solar, Tesla Powerwall storage, passive solar hot water inputs, and 16 amp EV charging in the connected garage.

Outdoor living is equally considered, with a sheltered patio and pizza oven creating a relaxed entertaining space, complemented by a charming summer house constructed from recycled kauri.

The wider property is a true expression of sustainable living, designed for productivity, resilience, and lifestyle independence. Seven well-fenced paddocks support grazing (currently sheep), while the land has been carefully developed into a diverse and highly productive food system.

Established orchard delivers year-round abundance, featuring approximately 90 fruit and nut trees including apples, pears, plums, peaches, nectarines, apricots, sour cherries, citrus varieties, kiwifruit, avocados, macadamias, and walnuts. This is complemented by a chestnut orchard and mature banana grove. A large, fenced vegetable garden and covered fruit cage extend seasonal production, supported by berries, guavas, grapes, figs, persimmons, and heritage pear. Chicken Coop for daily eggs, while a gum and wattle woodlot ensures a reliable firewood resource.

Native bush and regenerating plantings in the lower area of the property, with walking tracks enhancing enjoyment, and a Significant Natural Area designation reinforcing long-term ecological protection and biodiversity.

Comprehensive infrastructure supports both lifestyle and scale operation, including a large packing shed with three-phase power and workshop facilities, storage and chiller buildings, propagating and shade houses, pump house, round barn with tack room, hay loft and loose boxes.

A rare offering where heritage character, landscape beauty, and true self-sufficiency converge.
