Finding a house that feels like “home” as soon as you walk in is rare, this home offers a warm, character-filled environment that standard homes can’t duplicate.

This property is versatile to requirements, a 'home and lifestyle' 'private holiday home' or a Investment as 'holiday accommodation' (excellent referrals can be provided on request, for a property manger, that can take care of everything for you)

The northern boundary of this property meets reserve land and protected native bush with private access to a pristine stream. By night it metamorphose into a magical sight of glowworms that flank the banks of the stream and amongst the trees.

The property is fully fenced, paddocks with electric fencing in excellent condition. Extensive landscaping and planting of flowering natives that feed the birds. The property has been developed to be 'user friendly' regarding general maintenance and care.

A large variety of native birds share this space, Kereru, Tui, Fantails, Pheasants, Quail and Morpork to name a few.

A small piece of land is currently leased to a tiny homeowner the site is North facing, has its own driveway, stone pad, and power supply.

This is a very reluctant sale, however the time has come to pass on this piece of paradise to a new owner/family.

Extensive Recent Upgrades: Both the kitchen and bathrooms have been recently renovated. Notably, a beautiful new master ensuite was added, complete with french doors that open to a private lawn and view of native bush, soak and unwind in the clawfoot bath while enjoying the sound of nature, so peaceful – a touch of luxury.
A new wood burner with wetback has been recently installed in the open-plan living area, providing cosy heating and hot-water efficiency. Additionally, practical upgrades like new guttering for the house and carport, a new 31,000 litre water tank has been added. Power-board upgrades for the house and garage.
In short, much of the home’s infrastructure and interior is modernised or new, meaning a buyer can move in and enjoy it without needing to spend on improvements.

This hand crafted log cabin is a specialty build that offers multiple benefits and longevity. Each log for this house has been hand peeled, scribed and cut.
Here are a few key points, supported by experts and builders: The log construction means the walls themselves are multi-functional – “the log is your inside lining, your outside lining, your framing, your insulation all in one,”. As Graeme Mould - (current NZ Association Vice President, as well as the owner of Natural Log Homes Ltd) puts it, that solidity gives the home an “ageless” quality; it won’t date like a brick-and-linear board house might. Many log home owners say their homes barely seem to age at all maintaining a timeless appeal.

Longevity and Durability: Log structures are renowned for their longevity. There are log buildings in Europe still in use after 800+ years, which speaks to how long a well-built log home can last. Our home was crafted from durable timber and has been meticulously maintained, the external section of log is oiled annually.

Experts Explain:The massive logs create a structure that is extremely tough and stable. Graeme Mould, President of the Log Builders’ Association of NZ, notes that the structural integrity is so robust “you could drive your car into [a log wall] and it would just write your car off – it wouldn’t hurt the building”. Similarly, log walls have a natural resistance to fire; a solid log takes a very long time to burn, it tends to self-extinguish instead of going up in flames. When you purchase a log home, you’re investing in a structure that can stand for generations – a value that is hard to put a price on.

Outstanding Insulation & Efficiency: The thick log walls aren't just for show – they provide excellent natural insulation and thermal mass, that keeps the home warm in winters yet cool in summer. According to builders in the log home industry, a properly sealed log home is often 15–20% more energy-efficient than a standard house .
You’ll feel the difference living in a log home that naturally breathes and regulates temperature.

High quality: Due to the skilled labor and materials involved in the build of this house you get a home of exceptional craftsmanship. This investment in construction translates to lasting value – you’re buying a house built to a higher standard
There’s an inherent value in the ambiance and beauty of a log home.

A place to call home, you won’t want to leave.
