Secluded Self-Sufficient Sanctuary
Set on over 25 acres of native bush, this exceptional off-grid property offers a rare blend of architectural excellence, self-sufficiency, and a profound connection to nature. Tucked away on a quiet gravel road between the townships of Little Wanganui and Karamea, it delivers a true sense of peace and seclusion while remaining conveniently linked to essential rural services, including the school bus route and rural postal delivery. At the heart of the property is an architecturally designed two-storey home, positioned to harmonise with its surroundings and built to provide comfortable off-grid living. The residence features a generous master bedroom upstairs and a smaller second bedroom on the lower level, which could also be utilised as an office space or guest room. It has an expansive living space centred around a beautiful open fireplace that provides both warmth and the ability to cook, fostering authentic self-reliance. Modern conveniences are seamlessly integrated into the home, with solar electricity, gas hot water and a gas stove and oven that complements the home's rustic yet refined character. A wood-fired sauna introduces a luxurious wellness element, while the al fresco toilet and shower enhance the natural lifestyle and connection with the bush. A well-established orchard produces a variety of fruit year-round, and a fully fenced vegetable garden supports sustainable living. The property has a creek-fed water supply that ensures security and resilience with unlimited fresh water. The surrounding native bush not only guarantees privacy but also hosts rich birdlife and ecological diversity, making this an ideal haven for those passionate about conservation or a lifestyle immersed in nature. Adding further versatility is a large, separate two-storey building with a generous workshop space on the lower level and a lined room upstairs, utilised by the current owners as an office, gallery, and library, with an additional bedroom. This flexible building is perfectly suited to a home-based business, a creative studio, guest accommodation, or a retreat setting. A charming children's playhouse nestled in the bush completes the picture, enhancing the property's appeal as a family sanctuary or multi-generational escape. Distinctive, peaceful and deeply self-sufficient, this property offers a lifestyle that is increasingly sought after yet rarely found. It will particularly resonate with those seeking a retreat-like environment, such as a retired couple, remote workers, creative professionals, or a family drawn to sustainable living and the restorative power of nature.

Location is so important and this family home certainly has prime location opposite from Victoria Square. This 1930's prestige home was extended and modernised in 2010 while taking care to maintain the character and charm of the original build. The 180m2 approx. three bedroom home has a tranquil, spacious and luxurious ambience and quality joinery is everywhere to be seen. The bay windows, the original doors, the inbuilt closets and more flourishes of lead-lighting and joiners delight speak of the beauty and confidence of the era. Colourful decor in the living areas, a modern kitchen and open plan living extend to the rear deck looking out into the green and private back yard. A BBQ area, vegetable gardens and double garage with attached enclosed carport complete this property's resume. Lots to love about this special home. The previous owner has invested in significant property maintenance to bring the property to a very high standard. The home was professionally painted exteriorly August 2021. Meticulous interior decoration was undertaken from 2021-2022 and the good news is - if the colour scheme does not appeal then there is little prep work to do to put your imprint on the home. The window frames and sashes are carefully painted and easy to open. The bedrooms and living areas are covered in high quality carpet and underlay. The roof was replaced with new coloursteel 2022. The piles are replaced. Underfloor insulation is fitted, and agricultural polythene laid down on the ground below. 17Kw Woodsman Strongman wetback multifuel burner. Heavy-duty, insulated custom made curtains in all of the rooms. And R7 batts are rolled out in the ceiling. The section is fully fenced, and mature gardens surround on all sides providing a high and dry position to enjoy the feeling of nature, peace and security so close to town and to watch the sunsets from the safety of the living room and master bedroom. A dream for those who yearn to live like Kings and Queens in a quality home from a bygone age.
