A beautiful park like property of approximately 40
acres,
set up for self-sufficiency,
just 5 minutes from Warkworth and
50 minutes from Auckland.
The property has dams, ponds,
springs, stockyards, native bush, orchard,
vegetable gardens, chicken runs and 14 paddocks along with
over 10,000 trees planted over the last 15 years.
The 3 bedroom 150 year old kauri settlers cottage has
been renovated
and extended with deep verandas all round.
Complementing the house in style but built 11 years
ago is a two-story macrocarpa barn with two bedroom self-contained
accommodation upstairs. Downstairs there are loose boxes, milking bay,
dairy, office/3rd bedroom, workshop and garaging.
There is also a 5mt stud 120 sq mt. implement shed with power.
At present the land is
used for a self-sufficient lifestyle
with a small income generated by a crop of organic garlic,
which is sold at a local farmers market.
We moved here, as a young
family, 15 years ago from England, pursuing a dream.
Our children have grown up here in a happy, safe environment.
They learnt to swim in the dams, rode ponies, fed chickens, milked cows,
chased sheep, climbed trees and caught the school bus down by the gate.
Now, grandchildren and
health have caught up with us
and regretfully we feel it is time to move on.
