Nestled high in the hills just 5.6km from the Puhoi Village and its famous pub, this peaceful lifestyle property captures the magic of old-school New Zealand living. It's where kids roam free, time slows down, and the sunsets are worth stopping for. With no city glow and a hilltop position, the stars out here are something else. Clear, still, and so close it feels like you can reach out and touch them. The charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage has been beautifully updated, blending timeless rural character with modern comfort. Inside, the renovated primary suite features its own ensuite, and the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area flows out to a sun-drenched deck overlooking rolling hills and native bush. It's the perfect spot for slow summer evenings with friends and family. Out here, life's a little simpler. Build a backyard waterslide, head off on bush missions, or just sit quietly and watch the sun disappear behind the ranges. Behind the main home sits a flat, elevated site ready for you to add value. Whether it's a minor dwelling, guest house, or Airbnb, the space is separate from the main home and enjoys its own grandstand views. You'll also love: • Brand-new roof • Brand-new shed • Fully fenced for peace of mind • Room to create your own vegetable haven • Wireless internet with 5G available • Just a shade over 6km to the SH1 motorway • Road sealing has recently been extended further along Krippner Road, improving access and comfort This is a home that gives you back your time. A place to reconnect, raise a family, breathe deeply, and actually enjoy life.
