North facing three bedroom weatherboard home on 155 acres of mixed native bush with a plantation of approximately 6,000 Pinus Radiata. There is also a pine nut plantation, Eucalyptus trees, abundant Manuka and native regenerated bush that includes Kauri and Totara. A secluded haven with privacy and peace and a bird lover's paradise with Tui's, Morepork, Fantails, Quail, Pheasants and Kiwi in abundance. The outlook would benefit from some selective tree felling to restore the original panoramic views which include views of the sea, across bush covered hills. Only a twenty minute drive to the historic harbor-side village of Mangonui , on a picturesque metalled road, down a 300 metre private gated driveway that leads to a concrete hard-stand for three cars, plus a double garage. The property is off the grid but there is a near new Yanmar Diesel generator of 3.5 Kilowatts purchased new in May 2012. The house is well built and sound, but would benefit from some redecoration. Open plan kitchen diner with a wood burning stove installed in November 2010 and an open fire in the lounge. Unlimited supplies of timber with good stocks of sawn logs ready to go. Ranch sliders open onto decks on both sides, from the dining area, lounge and bedrooms making this a very light and bright home with windows on all sides. The house has been fully insulated in the past three years, floors and ceilings throughout, and new guttering installed in 2012. In addition, there are four large corrugated iron roof sheds.

If you are looking for peace and privacy, and yet still close to local amenities and the coast, this is an ideal home with good conservation values in a tranquil attractive setting.
