106 Pebblebrooke Road Mangawhai, Kaipara District

If you're searching for a property that truly stands apart, this one does so effortlessly. Set across 1.4 hectares of gardens, greenery, and peaceful open space, it offers two distinctive dwellings, clever eco features, and a setting that feels like its own private world. A lifestyle defined by sustainability, character, and a sense of escape.

House One
Spacious bedrooms, a walk-in wardrobe in the master, and direct bathroom access set the tone. The open-plan dining and lounge create a relaxed, welcoming living space, while the charming kitchen brings a nostalgic touch with its wood-burning oven. A true conversation starter is the hallway wall, crafted from clay and cans, complete with a peek-through opening that showcases the home's unique personality.

House Two - The Hay-Bale Retreat
Designed with sustainability and comfort in mind, this dwelling features a generous living area, a bedroom or study, bathroom, laundry, log burner, plus a large garage and workshop. Ideal for guests, extended family, hobbies, or a creative work-from-home setup.
Built from hay bales, the home offers exceptional natural insulation, keeping it cosy in winter and cool in summer. The thick walls also create a calm, quiet atmosphere and an earthy warmth that conventional construction simply can't replicate.

Comfort and Practicality
Comfort is well covered year-round. Hay-bale construction provides excellent insulation, complemented by Batts insulation in the ceilings of both the house and barn. With a wood-burning oven, log burner, and composting toilet system, eco-friendly living is thoughtfully integrated throughout. The inclusion of a Solahart solar hot water system adds another layer of sustainable living, utilising solar energy to help support an environmentally responsible way of life.

Outdoor Living
Both homes are wrapped in generous verandas, offering shelter from the elements and inviting year-round outdoor living. Beyond the homes, the 1.4 hectares unfold into established gardens, stunning roses, and native trees alive with birdlife. Along the western boundary, the Hakaru Stream meanders gently, perfect for cooling off in summer or enjoying peaceful moments all year round.

Full of heart, rich in character, and designed for sustainable living, this is a lifestyle property that feels genuinely special, as refreshing and grounding as the land itself
