To understand it, you need to look through the photos, take in the textures and curves, and then step inside for a viewing. This is not a standard home. It’s a story to be a part of and write your chapter. At its core, the house offers all the practical necessities: But what sets this property apart is the passion and craftsmanship evident in every detail. Built in a distinctive mud brick style, the home feels grounded, calm, and deeply connected to its surroundings. It’s a design that’s both timeless and incredibly liveable. Comfort is maximised year-round thanks to the earthen roof, which provides natural cooling through summer and exceptional insulation in winter. Heating is supported by a Rayburn woodfired oven, which contributes to underfloor heating and maintains a warm, ambient temperature during colder months. There are several special outdoor touches too. The master bedroom opens directly onto the lawn — perfect for morning coffee accompanied by birdsong. A smaller rear bedroom enjoys access to a private patio, creating a quiet retreat within the home’s footprint. And yes, this property has its own stories to tell. Kiwis have been released on this land, and on a quiet winter evening you may even hear them calling to each other. It’s these moments that make living here something truly special. Although accessed via a shared, metal drive from the main road, the driveway itself is part of the experience — peaceful, scenic, and setting the tone for what lies ahead. Available early 2026, this property can be offered furnished or unfurnished, depending on your needs. 12 Month fixed term to start. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy a home with genuine character, history, and heart — something that simply doesn’t come up often. Viewings are essential to truly appreciate what’s on offer.
