Beautiful Tranquil Sanctuary

Welcome to this private retreat — a truly beautiful sanctuary that feels a world away yet remains just moments from the city. This remarkable property is perfectly suited for a keen gardener, retired farmer, orchardist, or anyone seeking a peaceful city fringe lifestyle surrounded by nature.
As you arrive, a beautiful treelined driveway lures you through a glade of mature trees — setting the tone for what feels like your own hidden paradise. Elevated yet sheltered, the home is beautifully enhanced by its established surroundings. You are completely serene and private, you almost hear David Attenborough narrating as native birds flit between the branches — with many different species creating a constant, joyful birdsong.
Step inside, a spacious home that flows effortlessly. One wing offers four generous bedrooms, along with a separate bathroom and laundry. The master suite enjoys its own separate wing along with connection to its own private patio. At the heart of the home, you’ll find a kitchen that has been cleverly designed for the serious chef — engaging with the open-plan dining and family/sunroom. Incorporating more space for the family is a slightly separate lounge that extends to a sunny private covered patio and sweeping lawns.
A self-contained minor dwelling offers wonderful flexibility — perfect for extended family, weekend guests, or potential income opportunities.
Outside, the magic continues, you will find a mix of woodland and grazing areas, established ornamental and productive gardens, a nursery zone for propagating and potting and lush food forest brimming with fruit trees.
Located in a highly sought-after city fringe location, it’s an easy commute to Bethlehem and Te Puna, with excellent school zoning — offering the best of rural tranquillity and urban convenience.
This is not just a home — it’s a lifestyle, a legacy, and a rare opportunity. Properties of this calibre seldom come to market, and it will take the right buyer to recognise and appreciate its true worth.
