The property of 15 acres offers complete privacy and is set in landscaped gardens and bordered by native bush with a stream running through it. The rest of the property consists of fenced paddocks with water supply for sheep and horses or cattle and is currently being managed by a local former. The house site has fine views down the valley and over the rolling hills.
The garden is a true Gardener's Delight with many rare and unusual plants as well as a large variety of scented plants; it was in the Rotary Kerikeri Garden Safari and has also been a venue for garden tours for cruise ship passengers run by the owner. A large range of different fruit trees and very productive vegetable areas add to the ornamental features.
The house itself is 19 years old with cedar-clad construction, is very light and airy with extensive indoor-outdoor flow onto the decking. It has three bedrooms and one bathroom with separate toilet. A special feature is the extensive attractive rimu panelling and ceiling in the lounge. Heating is by wet-back wood-burner.
The property also operates as a Bed and Breakfast and guests stay in a studio in the converted half-round barn separate from the main house. The studio comprises one lounge and a very large bedroom with en-suite. Outside the bedroom is a private verandah with beautiful views over gardens and mature native bush with over 44 species of birds seen here,
The studio has a lot of potential, either to continue the B&B business, to convert to fully self-contained (possibly rental) accommodation, or to use as separate family space or office. Huge storage space is also available in the remaining part of the barn.
