Iconic Historic Homestead Waipu Caves

Steeped in history, an iconic Waipu landmark deep in the hills has come up for sale.

Back in the 19th century this iconic homestead served as a coach house to many a weary traveler that passed by on horse back on the way north to Whangarei. Today the home's charisma lives on. Hand crafted of solid Kauri, sitting on a bedrock of solid limestone foundations, featuring a full wrap around covered verandah with a handsome hand chiseled limestone stone chimney stack! You've arrived at something extra special. The upstairs, formally 3 bedrooms is now one bright open space. The ground floor, formally having 2 bedrooms now has 1 bedroom, allowing the lounge to expand to an even bigger brighter space that flows onto the expansive sunny verandah from which to enjoy the decadent views.

The homestead has just be given a fresh new roof and code of compliance. The exterior has been professionally painted from top to bottom, along with the immediate outbuildings to match.

Nestled into the hillside opposite the Waipu Caves Scenic Reserve, you are surrounded by a place of outstanding natural beauty. The acoustic bird song from the resident Tuis are a beautiful reminder that here, nature is your closest friend. Surrounding gardens are established - the orchard behind well stocked with numerous fruit trees to nourish. There's legal access to a spring too.

Adjacent to the home is separate accommodation (unconsented). A neat cabin complete with 2 X bedroom/bunk rooms, a bathroom and lounge space with a covered outdoor area. The ideal space for extra family and friends and with popular Waipu Caves across the road, explore glamping opportunities.

There's a great big shed too with a solid concrete floor offering workshop space, room to park the boat and plenty of extra space to work on projects.
