187 Bayer Road Waiwera, Rodney

If you've been searching for a place where the pace slows, the noise fades away, and there's room for family and friends to truly come together, this Upper Waiwera lifestyle property delivers something special.

Set on six peaceful hectares in a private, no-through-traffic setting, the property enjoys a remarkably quiet environment with very low ambient noise. Despite the sense of seclusion, access is straightforward with the Millwater/Wainui motorway on-ramps about 15 minutes away, making commuting refreshingly easy. Silverdale's shops, schools and amenities are approximately 20 minutes from home.

This home is designed for relaxed, everyday living and effortless entertaining. Beautifully presented, with the exterior freshly painted and brand new curtains adding a fresh, updated feel, it offers comfort and style from the moment you arrive. Two generous living areas provide flexibility for families of all stages. The main living space connects beautifully with the kitchen and dining area, flowing out to the deck, flat lawns and the swimming pool - a natural hub for gatherings, celebrations and long summer afternoons. It's a home that feels welcoming, practical and easy to live in.

The land has been carefully laid out to support an easy lifestyle with secure fencing and about two hectares of grazing paddocks. The paddocks have gravity-fed water and have previously supported ponies, goats and sheep with ease. Small shelters throughout the grazing add practicality, while established outbuildings - including an extra garage with workshop space, a small barn, hen house and vegetable gardens - give you flexibility for hobbies, storage or small farming.

Adding to the sense of retreat is the surrounding native landscape. Mature podocarp forest on the western ridge adjoins regenerating manuka and native tree ferns to the east, creating a natural haven rich in birdlife throughout the year. Tui and kingfishers are resident on the property, with additional native birdlife adding to the peaceful, established feel.

This property has excellent water storage, established gardens, a saltwater swimming pool and genuine space to breathe. With recent presentation upgrades already taken care of, it's a property that balances lifestyle freedom with everyday practicality.

Located within easy reach of motorway access, close to the charm of Puhoi village and river activities, and convenient to the Hibiscus Coast, this home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy privacy, space and connection - a home where family time matters and memories are made.
