Nestled in some of the most picturesque and lush country landscape ‘beyond the bridge' on Ōtaki Gorge Rd, this extraordinary property has close to 14 acres of off-the-radar brilliance.

Multiple possibilities for a grounded lifestyle here with a cabin, studio, sleepout, (approx 60sqm combined), stream and rainwater collection, workshop, pole shed, fenced paddocks, wood storage, chicken coop, greenhouse, and a full off-grid solar system with inverter and batteries, and composting bathroom.

Well fenced, the property has its own stream, flanked by incredibly lush native planting belts. The family have put a lot of energy and careful consideration into building this legacy into the ultimate self-sustainable property it has become. A place to ‘be' and enjoy daily life - without having to rely on outside sources.

Extraordinary growing power with the greenhouse, irrigation and well-tilled soil. Every outbuilding, pathway, and fence post over the past six years have been thoughtfully placed and beautifully executed to make the most of the land, utilising as many raw and recycled materials where possible.

The land itself is gently contoured, largely fertile and oriented perfectly towards the north; it even has its own special boulder!

Ōtaki River access just down the road for excellent swimming at ‘The Pots', and Ōtaki Gorge Road access into the depths of the gorge is now reinstated. Astonishing bush walks, camping and recreation are mere minutes away.

Given the size and offerings here, it's hard to believe it's just ten minutes from the expressway, Ōtaki township, and less than one hour from Wellington.

There are very few properties like this, and a visit in person is imperative to ascertain the scope on offer. Current owners will be happy to meet and pass on their property knowledge to the new lucky owners when the time comes. There's just so much to appreciate and love.
