Over six well-developed acres of green paddocked areas and privacy envelopes this rurally set home, plus it's just a short one-kilometre ride, stroll, or walk to the beach!

The home is elevated to enjoy views of the hills to the east and over the west-facing part of the property for plenty of sun and extraordinary night sky viewing. A large brand-new west-facing deck - the perfect place for al fresco entertaining with excellent indoor/outdoor flow. The kitchen faces east, so you can cook whilst enjoying framed views of the hills beyond, an idyllic view to get the creative juices flowing.

Living is spacious and light-filled with a cosy woodburner - also piped to the upper level - keeping the home totally toasty. There's a large bedroom on the living level as well as two spacious bedrooms, one with an ensuite, and an office space upstairs. Under the home is a spacious workshop area along with double garaging.

There's plenty of scope here for the rider, including an excellent riding arena with compact rubber and river sand. There's also a four-bay farm shed, an additional garage with workshop with three-phase power, windmill, stock troughs, excellent water collection and filtration system, twin swing gates, an outdoor bath to while away the evenings and more.

Waikawa is an excellent point to explore between Ōtaki and Levin, with great local schools and the tasty Manakau Market on the highway route home. The planned O2NL expressway will make this area an even more attractive proposition for those seeking a rural hideaway with an easier commute both north and south.

Rural properties of this size with such privacy and opportunity so close to the rural and beach community are a rarity, and current owners have done a lot to develop it over the past 16 years. It's time for them to concentrate on a new project and for new owners to take the reins and reap the benefits.
