Horses bring your staff!!

If you’ve been dreaming of a well-designed horse-friendly lifestyle block with all the right infrastructure and none of the hard work, this is it. Set on just over 15 acres of rolling pasture, this property has been thoughtfully developed with equine wellbeing, self-sufficiency, and effortless rural living in mind. The land is a mix of large and smaller paddocks, offering natural movement and variety for horses, plus excellent shelter with established Totaras. The open-plan barn connects directly to every paddock, letting your horses choose their own comfort – thus minimizing your workload and stress. Even better, dung beetles have been doing their magic since 2019, helping improve drainage and soil quality naturally – no poo-picking or harrowing required.
The home itself is bright, warm, and welcoming, with excellent indoor-outdoor flow and views across the land. You’ll love the spacious kitchen, sunny living areas, and the large deck that soaks up the morning sun while staying cool in the evening. Sustainability has been front of mind – with a fireplace and wetback, gas cooking, gravity-fed water, and plenty of space to grow your own food. Whether you’re relaxing by the pool, tending the garden, or heading out to nearby riding destinations like Atiu Creek, Tapora, or Te Arai, this is true country living – just 17 minutes from Wellsford and still within easy reach of the East Coast, schools, and townships. This is Auckland’s best-kept secret, and it won’t stay secret for long.
