Live off the land
There are 3 plaster water tanks, a consented water bore (tested to have drinking quality water), wetback (unused), and free-range chicken coop - the property is well set up for living off the land. The orchard has an irrigation system, and contains blueberries and plum trees, plus apple, feijoa, orange, lemon, lime, and macadamia trees. The level 8,375m² section (more or less) includes an area of native bush. The water bore was installed in 2016 at a cost of approximately $20,000.
As well as the deck of the house, there’s an outdoor entertaining area with a built-in barbecue. A 3-bay shed with concrete base provides ample storage, plus there are additional outbuildings. Note that the ancillary buildings are unconsented.
A circular driveway loops around the house. The home is approximately 124m² and has 3 double bedrooms, kitchen, laundry area/entranceway, and a bathroom with separate toilet. The bathroom contains a bathtub as well as a separate shower cubicle.
The kitchen enjoys distant sea views over to Nine Pin, and opens to the dining room. This flows on to the spacious lounge, which is heated with a 3-year-old, certified wood burner.
The house was constructed in 1985 with fibre cement weatherboards and a corrugated sheet metal roof - a builder’s report from 2011 is available on request.
School zones include: Kerikeri Primary School, Kerikeri High School, and Okaihau College. Okaihau Golf Club is approximately 15 minutes' drive away.
