329 Takarau Gorge Road, Ohariu, Wellington City, Wellington

If you’ve been dreaming of more space, more nature, and more breathing room, without giving up city convenience, this one might just be what you’ve been waiting for. Tucked away in a peaceful, sun-filled setting, this beautifully updated family home offers a rare combination: the tranquillity of a private bush retreat and the convenience of being just 11 minutes from Johnsonville shops. Set on approximately 2.13 hectares of established land, this is a place where children can explore, birdsong replaces traffic noise, and every day feels a little calmer. A gentle stream winds through the property, while mature trees, gardens, and open clearings create a landscape that feels both private and alive. The home is the original farmhouse, thoughtfully modernised and extended while retaining its warmth and character. Spacious open-plan living and dining areas with polished native timber floors flow effortlessly onto multiple decks, creating wonderful spaces for entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying the outlook. The modern kitchen is well-equipped with excellent storage and natural light, making everyday living easy. Accommodation comprises four generous bedrooms, plus a study or fifth bedroom, with a large family bathroom and a second bathroom/laundry. Year-round comfort is assured by a wood burner, gas heating, and an HRV system. A real bonus is the separate annex, offering a self-contained living or games room, dream workshop, and endless flexibility, ideal for guests, teenagers, working from home, or creative pursuits. Outside, the property continues to impress with stables, a feed shed, a chicken coop, wood stores, a garden shed, an enclosed vegetable garden, and plenty of open space to roam, play, or keep animals. Double garaging and ample off-street parking easily accommodate multiple vehicles, trailers, or lifestyle gear. With vendors now more motivated than ever, this exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to secure a private Wellington lifestyle sanctuary. If you’ve been waiting for the right blend of space, nature, and location, this is the moment to act. Call Ralph at 022 597 0397 for more information or to arrange a private viewing.
