Stunning 1910 Kauri Cottage Awaits New Custodians

Hidden away down a long, sweeping driveway, rests a home that has held the heart of one family for over a century.

The rear of the property gazes out toward Lake Omapere and the 1.3 hectares (approx. 3 acres) divided into three paddocks invite you to return to the good life - perhaps with a few sheep, a pony, or simply open space for children to roam. With a deep-water bore, a separate sleep-out/office and multiple sheds, the foundations are set for a restoration project or turn this into a charming Bed & Breakfast.

Built in 1910 using the very first Kauri timber cut from the local sawmill, this 140m² home is more than just a house; it is a living piece of history. For the first time in 116 years, the doors are opening and await its new guardians.

The front door with its original etched glass of delicate butterflies - welcomes you and your family home. As you cross the threshold and step into the past, a wonderful arched hallway will greet you, where the light catches the chandelier illuminating the imported French wallpaper.

While the soul of the home remains vintage, it has been gently stepped into the present day with its timeless charm and modern warmth.

• Space to Breathe: Three bedrooms and a sunroom offer quiet corners for rest, supported by three bathrooms (including an ensuite).

• Modern Comforts: Enjoy the convenience of an all-electric setup, complete with a heat pump, HRV system, dishwasher, and alarm - ensuring your nostalgia comes with modern peace of mind.

If these solid Kauri walls could speak, they would whisper tales of harvest seasons, summer laughter, and the quiet resilience of a hard-working farming family. And now this is your chance to bring this grand old lady back to her former glory.

Don’t delay – the open homes are your opportunity to step back in time and discover the unique attributes of this most desirable home, or please call to arrange your private viewing.
