Secluded Bush Sanctuary

Almost unheard of in the Eastern Bays, this solidly built 1950s kiwi home – the original in the area - is hidden from the road and sits on a very special, secluded 1,010 sq m piece of freehold land, surrounded by beautiful, lush native bush with a protected reserve on 2 sides. The tranquil, family friendly sanctuary can never be built out. A private nature’s playground, it is a pristine extension of Dingle Dell nearby and resembles parts of Titirangi where the dawn chorus is deafening and traffic noise practically non-existent.

Tracks meander into the valley, making it a fun place for children to play and explore. You would not think you’re in the city yet so close to amenities. Part of the property extends across a flat building platform, giving space to extend, go up, or to build a 2 nd dwelling.

The existing 4-bedroom home includes a versatile self-contained flat on the lower level with its own private deck facing the lush native bush and a separate entry – great for guests to stay when teenage friends or extended family come to stay or even potential income. There is tons of storage by the garage, a large laundry and 2 bathrooms - upstairs and down.

Authentic character includes native timber floors and the original log fire. The living and bedroom bathe in midday sun till late afternoon, expanding to a large, elevated deck for relaxed entertaining.

There is much to love just as it is, but the property also offers huge scope for modernisation or development in a divine setting that can’t be replicated .
The potential is enormous – in a location that is an easy stroll to Dingle Dell, St Heliers beach, village and Madills Farm playground. In zone for St Heliers School and Glendowie College and St Thomas Primary and Selwyn College are close by. It’s also an easy commute to CBD. And if you climb onto the roof, you are rewarded with a sea view.


Invest in the future, this great project offers many hard-to-find rewards.
