Quiet, Private, and Secure

The property is accessed from a no-exit road, reached by a private driveway that winds through bush and farmland.

You can’t see it from the road... and no one can see in.

Once here, it’s calm, quiet, and entirely your own space.

Everything has been set up for independence — power, water, food, and shelter — with reliable systems that don’t depend on town services.

Power and Energy Independence

  • 48-volt solar power system

  • No-maintenance gel batteries replaced in 2022

  • Back-up generator for extended cloudy periods

  • Gas stove and water heating

  • Woodburner with 5 kW wetback

  • Firewood available on the property

You’ll never need to worry about power cuts or rising utility costs... the systems are already proven and easy to maintain.

Water and Food Security

Grow your own food, harvest your own firewood, and rely on your own water supply — all within a few steps of your home.

  • Two large rainwater tanks (55,000 litres total)

  • Gravity or pump-fed supply

  • Easement for trough water

  • Solar hot water

  • Productive vegetable garden and orchard

  • Fenced paddocks for livestock

  • Established fodder trees for shade and feed

The Home

Built to be warm, comfortable, and energy-efficient, the house is clad in cryptomeria with Lawsonia pine beams and cedar joinery.

It uses passive design to stay cool in summer and cosy in winter, with double-glazed windows and underfloor heating throughout.

There’s also a walk-in cool store that keeps food fresh naturally... spreadable butter all year round.

Natural Surroundings

Around 130 acres of the property are protected native bush with kauri, rimu, puriri, and many other species.

There are waterfalls, swimming holes, and streams filled with native crayfish and eels... and kiwi live here year-round.

It’s a sanctuary for wildlife and for people who value space and quiet.

Practical Self-Sufficiency

This property isn’t a project that needs finishing. It’s already working... ready for someone who values security, independence, and a calm way of life.

“Here, everything you need is already in place — power, water, shelter, and peace.”
