Motivated vendors have priced to sell; with a CV of $1,750,000, this is a rare offering indeed. Seeking a private escape, perhaps a part-time escape to a native paradise. This lifestyle is for those ready to escape city living, embrace nature and immerse yourself in the wild outdoors, whether you love meditation, mountain biking, hunting or seeking that quiet escape; this property will ground your energy and allow you to capture your breath. Discover a truly exceptional 18-acre (more or less) Auckland landholding where nature and lifestyle perfectly intertwine. Approximately over half the property is pristine native bush, alive with abundant birdlife and wildlife. At the same time, the remainder is fully fenced grazing land, currently home to a few sheep but ideal for horses, cattle, and alpacas. The vendors have made fabulous improvements, including a fully renovated three bedroom cottage on an elevated site, with sweeping rural views, a thriving potager garden, and an inviting lawn. Move in and enjoy this charming home as is or live comfortably while exploring the potential to build your dream retreat in the meadow below, explore nature pods for a secluded eco-escape venue (both subject to council consent). The fencing is in excellent condition, with much of it replaced, and the driveway is private and sealed. At the foot of the property, a clear-water stream meanders through native greenery, forming a tranquil and private sanctuary, the perfect place to unwind and reconnect with nature in complete solitude. Conveniently located close to CBD commute routes, local vineyards, and Waimauku village offering cafes, doctors, pharmacy, supermarket, Pilates studio, hair salon, and more. The Northwest is packed with outdoor adventures: 4WD trails, horse riding, beaches, forests, and endless opportunities to embrace rural New Zealand, yet it is within commuting distance of the CBD. Whether you seek an escape, a lifestyle haven, or a creative opportunity, this rare and remarkable property offers unmatched potential. Untouched, private, and breathtakingly beautiful, this is your chance to make an Auckland slice of paradise your very own.
