158 Rangiora Road KAIWAKA, Kaipara District

Positioned on the Oneriri Peninsula overlooking the Kaipara Harbour is Rangi Atu, a rustic country homestead set amidst 2.7578 ha of bush, lawn, fruit and olive trees. Embodying everything required to refresh your mind, body and soul, this is a special place. Within one and a half hours of Auckland and a weekend paper and cappuccino only 12 minutes away, Rangi Atu is a weekend country retreat that you will never want to leave.

Facing due north, the 367sqm home opening out to expansive decks, maximises both the path of the all day sun and tranquil harbour waterway. Well appointed, the main 3 bedroom wing, complete with generous master bedroom and ensuite bathroom, is to the left of the central entertaining hub, and to the right, a generous separate guest wing. To the very far left, stepped down a few steps, is a detached additional guest suite cum home office and home gym. Beautiful timbers feature with sarked ceilings, hard wood polished floors and bedroom shutters opening onto a breezeway hallway. Tiered decks overlook lush plantings and an inviting swimming pool where water trickles gently over a rock water feature.

Built to the highest specifications and with attention to detail, the infrastructure ensures all your creature comforts will be met. Water is never in short supply regardless of the North's endless summers and with the boat ramp only 30 seconds drive, a meal is not far away.

Live on freshly picked fruit and vegetables from your gardens complimented by an abundance of fresh seafood, all brought together and prepared in your fully equipped designer farmhouse kitchen and butlers' pantry. Play rainy day scrabble while enjoying the warmth of the centred open fireplace. Doze in the hammocks with melodic bird song on a lazy summer's day. You won't regret visiting - as is the testament of the many guests who have enjoyed a relaxing short break at the property A rare piece of paradise, so quiet and with awesome water, peninsula and pastoral views. Stunning sunsets over the water, we felt a million miles from Auckland yet in reality only took just over an hour to arrive. What a hidden treasure!

This is your chance to own a special property lovingly developed by the current owners and very much their home away from the city, that is, when not booked out by the many satisfied paying guests.
