84 Corbett Road, Whakapara

Built from rammed earth and native timbers, the home offers freshly laid new carpet throughout and an open-plan kitchen and dining space made for gathering. A separate lounge, warmed by a gas fireplace and finished in native timbers, sets the tone for relaxed evenings in. Handcrafted stained glass catches the light throughout the home, and a Juliet balcony adds a graceful touch to the main suite, complete with its own ensuite. A guest room and a second, main bathroom complete this wing. The two dwellings are connected by garden paths that meander through the property, linking the main home to an independent second dwelling that’s every bit as inviting. It features a new kitchen and its own outdoor patio for alfresco living, with two bedrooms serviced by a bathroom with both bath and shower, plus a separate toilet for convenience. Stained glass windows and characterful light fittings carry the same detail found throughout the main home. A flexible third space stands ready to be shaped into whatever you need, creative studio, guest quarters, or a quiet place to work. Beyond the dwellings, the land is the real drawcard. Sweeping views roll over the bush and gardens toward a vista that stretches into the distance, while a separate garage workshop and water tanks support the property’s practical side. There’s plentiful parking with a graceful turnaround bay, and thoughtful retaining and established plantings weave through the native bush along those same meandering garden paths. An additional garden shed stands ready for the ride-on mower or as a workshop, and abundant birdlife fills the gardens throughout the seasons. A number of paddocks offer grazing, each served by spring-fed troughs. Multigenerational family compound, glamping retreat, wedding venue, hobby farm, this is a property that needs to be seen to be understood. Photos capture the details, but not the rammed earth walls, the scale, or the way the two dwellings sit together on the land. Contact us today to arrange your private viewing.
