Tucked away in its own sheltered 1.58ha valley on the Pouto Peninsula, this is the kind of property that speaks straight to the free spirits - the barefoot gardeners, the music makers, the star-gazers, the dream-weavers and the quietly rebellious souls longing for a place where life can finally slow down and open up.
Here, you can live simply… or wildly… or somewhere beautifully in between. The valley gives you the privacy to play your music, grow your food, practise your yoga with the sunrise, or just sit in the stillness to star-gaze while letting the world soften for a while.
The substantial 3-Bedroom homestead itself has an inviting, grounded presence - spacious, warm, and made for private chilled-out self-sufficient living - complete with upstairs primary bedroom suite. Throw open the doors, wander onto the wraparound deck with some hammocks strung between the beams, and let the valley hold you. It's the kind of place where the days stretch long, the nights are full of stars, and laughter seems to echo a little further.
For the hippy-hearted, the 4-bay garage-barn with its 100sqm upper level is the ultimate bonus space. A creative studio? Communal hangout? Meditation loft? Music room? Guest area? Potential WWOOF-friendly accommodation? A place for pottery wheels, guitars, paintbrushes, or herbal teas? The canvas is yours.
The land carries its own rhythm, too. The established 411-tree Kaffir Lime Leaf orchard provides a simple, year-round side income with longstanding buyers already in place. It's spray-free, GAP-certified, protected under hail cloth and wind mesh, and quietly productive - perfect for those wanting to blend lifestyle living with mindful land use.
Self-sufficiency comes easily here. Rainwater and spring-fed tanks, UV filtration, solar systems, gardens, fruit trees and room for a few animals, all support a life that's lighter on the planet and richer in meaning. During Cyclone Gabrielle, the property stayed fully functional - a reassuring nod to resilience and thoughtful design.
And when you do want the outside world, it's still nearby: 10 minutes to the local primary school, 15 to fishing at iconic Kellys Bay, 45-mins to a major supermarket, and around three hours to Downtown Auckland.
This isn't just a home. It's a vibe. A sanctuary. A chance to live with intention, connection and freedom - in a valley that feels like its own little universe.
