This wonderful farmlet has it all. Wonderful views over farmland out to the majestic Kaipara Harbour plus a good size block of 11.79 ha or 29 acres of gentle to rolling pasture with patches of bush and 10 fenced paddocks centrally raced for stock accessibility. The 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home (300m2) was built in 1985 and is constructed out of brick, weatherboard and concrete tile roof covering 3 levels. On the middle level is the main hub of the house with separate lounge and feature brick fireplace, a formal dining room, spacious kitchen complete with dishwasher, rangehood and island bench, breakfast dinette, decking facing the harbour, master bedroom with ensuite and walk in wardrobe plus another bedroom and main bathroom. Downstairs is a huge rumpus/entertainment room flowing to a patio area, built in spa pool room, changing room and toilet. On the upper level are 2 more double bedrooms and bathroom. A great family home. A double garage and paved driveway gives you and your guests plenty of room for parking. The lovely grounds are level and planted with mature trees and gardens. A permitted implement shed with a loft area, stands nearby which the original owners used as temporary accommodation while they were building. It now is used as a workshop/storage shed but one could transform it into a minor dwelling (with council permits, of course) or use as a sleepout/teen retreat/studio. There is also a haybarn/stable, vegetable garden and an abundance of fruit trees. A loading dock and yards for the cattle is situated in a handy position for stock transport. The current stock on the property is negotiable so your own farm could be all set to go. This property will suit those wanting to raise/graze cattle, sheep or horses and there is enough level land to build an arena if desired. Situated approximately 20 minutes drive from Helensville and located on a no exit quiet road, handy to the South Head Golf Club (just down the road), approximately 10 minutes to Shelly Beach with boat ramp, wharf and local café, handy to Wilson Rd access to Muriwai Beach (4 wheel drive only) and freshwater lakes. So much to offer and so close to an amazing amount of outdoor recreational activities. After 11 years the current owner says "its time to move on and let another family enjoy what we have here". Selling well below CV of $1,000,000. Make the time to view! South Kaipara Head is a popular recreation location and a great place to live. Just 20 minutes from Helensville is Shelly Beach with boat ramp access to the Kaipara Harbour where great fishing can be found in both the inner and outer harbour with marlin frequently caught off the west coast during the season. There are two main lakes on the peninsula namely Lake Kareta and Lake Otatoa - both are great for kayaking and freshwater fishing (catch & release, of course). South Head Golf Club is extremely popular with its magnificent picturesque 18 hole course. Access to the Kaipara lagoon is available through the Woodhill forest which is great for camping, offroad vehicles, horse riding and surfcasting. Further up the peninsula is one of Auckland's newest regional parks - great for tramping and eventually a boat ramp to the Kaipara Harbour.
