Off-Grid Lifestyle + Proven Airbnb Income | 3 Dwellings | Enquiries Over $699,000
Live self-sufficient, earn from home, and enjoy total privacy - all just 4 minutes from town.
This rare lifestyle property delivers a powerful combination of independence, income, character, and flexibility - increasingly difficult to find in today’s market.
Originally built in 1935 from native New Zealand timbers, including Kauri and Rimu, the home offers a level of craftsmanship and warmth that is now virtually impossible to replicate.
Thoughtfully renovated and upgraded, the property is fully self-sufficient, powered by solar energy and supported by rainwater collection with UV filtration, providing both environmental independence and long-term cost savings. There is an option to be connected back to the grid - but who would want that..?
Set on established, productive land, the grounds feature a young fruit orchard, vegetable gardens, chicken village, beehive, ducks, and abundant native birdlife including tūī’s home creating a true lifestyle sanctuary.
Multiple Dwellings + Proven Income

Why This Property Stands Out
Rare native timber home (Kauri & Rimu) - irreplaceable character. Income-generating Airbnb already established. Fully self-sufficient (solar, water, gardens, lifestyle systems). Multi-dwelling flexibility + expansion potential. Productive land ready to support lifestyle living. Privacy without isolation - a key buyer driver.
