Set on over 25 acres of native bush, this exceptional off-grid property offers a rare blend of architectural excellence, self-sufficiency, and a profound connection to nature. Tucked away on a quiet gravel road between the townships of Little Wanganui and Karamea, it delivers a true sense of peace and seclusion while remaining conveniently linked to essential rural services, including the school bus route and rural postal delivery. At the heart of the property is an architecturally designed two-storey home, positioned to harmonise with its surroundings and built to provide comfortable off-grid living. The residence features a generous master bedroom upstairs and a smaller second bedroom on the lower level, which could also be utilised as an office space or guest room. It has an expansive living space centred around a beautiful open fireplace that provides both warmth and the ability to cook, fostering authentic self-reliance. Modern conveniences are seamlessly integrated into the home, with solar electricity, gas hot water and a gas stove and oven that complements the home's rustic yet refined character. A wood-fired sauna introduces a luxurious wellness element, while the al fresco toilet and shower enhance the natural lifestyle and connection with the bush. A well-established orchard produces a variety of fruit year-round, and a fully fenced vegetable garden supports sustainable living. The property has a creek-fed water supply that ensures security and resilience with unlimited fresh water. The surrounding native bush not only guarantees privacy but also hosts rich birdlife and ecological diversity, making this an ideal haven for those passionate about conservation or a lifestyle immersed in nature. Adding further versatility is a large, separate two-storey building with a generous workshop space on the lower level and a lined room upstairs, utilised by the current owners as an office, gallery, and library, with an additional bedroom. This flexible building is perfectly suited to a home-based business, a creative studio, guest accommodation, or a retreat setting. A charming children's playhouse nestled in the bush completes the picture, enhancing the property's appeal as a family sanctuary or multi-generational escape. Distinctive, peaceful and deeply self-sufficient, this property offers a lifestyle that is increasingly sought after yet rarely found. It will particularly resonate with those seeking a retreat-like environment, such as a retired couple, remote workers, creative professionals, or a family drawn to sustainable living and the restorative power of nature.
