42b Dutton Road, Peria

This fabulous off-grid property is situated in beautiful remote QUIET Honeymoon Valley on TEN PLUS ACRES of stunning native bush with a sky full of stars and an abundant water supply from a spring-fed source registered on the title.

Constructed in the 90's by a master builder . . . this charming, 80 sqm character cabin on 3 levels with macrocarpa beams, panelling, and staircase (milled from the property next door), a handmade kereru stained glass window in the living room, roomy living areas on the ground level with wood burner and wetback, and a semi-outdoor kitchen overlooking the garden and watercress-filled stream. The bathroom is spacious with a bathtub looking out to the garden and stream through a large picture window.

An unfinished second bedroom and living area with wood burner, with primitive outdoor bathroom are located in a 55 sqm sleep-out/workshop at the beginning of the winding driveway down to the house. There's also three other private potential cabin sites scattered about, one at a completely private outcropping perched high above the stream and enveloped in native bush.

This stunning property offers a peaceful haven with lovely walks through the bush and along the banks of the long meandering stream . . . with 8 acres of this remote oasis still largely unexplored . Solar power, stove with wetback, and bottled gas provide your energy, while a well-established orchard with red, yellow and pink guava, peaches, Tahitian Lime, mandarin, lemon, banana, plum, apple, feijoa, macadamia, fig . . . . all shout (better yet whisper) SUSTAINABLE LIVING.

PLEASE NOTE : Although the Council is well aware of the dwellings which have been in place for the past thirty years . . . as with over 20,000 other homes scattered throughout the Far North . . . the house and shed are minus Council Consents . . . . so any loan you may need to purchase Shangri-La will likely be based ONLY on RV of the Land (which the Council has at $295,000).

Wish you could have more free-thinkers for neighbours? We're only ten minutes from the BUSH FAIRY DAIRY. Look it up and you'll get my drift. My wife and I have lived in the area for over five years and have no intention of ever living anywhere else . . . so I should know.

With things out there in the big world increasingly resembling a circus . . . this may be your last best chance to announce . . . GOODBYE HUBBUB! GOODBYE HOOHAA!
