Choose A Different Pace of Life

This off-grid retreat sits across just over an acre of land, surrounded by open country with hills, pasture and skyline in every direction. It’s the sort of setting you don’t stumble across, you choose it.

The home itself is modern, compact and well-resolved, built to make the most of its surroundings. Large sliders pull the view straight inside, turning the living area into an extension of the landscape. The layout is simple and efficient: open-plan living and kitchen at one end, a bedroom at the other, and a deck that anchors everything to the outdoors.

Solar power keeps the property running independently, with arrays positioned to capture the best of the Gisborne sun. Water tanks, a tidy composting setup, and low-maintenance grounds make the lifestyle here both achievable and sustainable. There’s space to expand, space to grow, and space to do nothing at all.

Several additional structures sit across the section, including a container and small utility buildings, offering storage, workshop potential or future development options depending on how you choose to use the land.

What strengthens the appeal here is how connected this rural setting still is. Tolaga Bay Wharf, the township’s cafés and essentials, the local school, coastal tracks and access to the Uawa River are all within easy reach, and Gisborne sits an accessible drive south. Privacy and open land without isolation is an uncommon combination, but this property offers exactly that.

The views roll out across farmland to the distant ranges, shifting with every change in light. The neighbouring hills wrap around the property, giving it a sense of privacy that’s rare this close to town.

If you’re looking for a place that trades noise for open air, and routine for room to think, this is an opportunity worth seeing in person.
