45 Shepherd Road, Peria, Far North, Northland

"Tranquility, peaceful sanctuary....." Tucked away in a private, green haven, this charming bungalow is surrounded by mature trees, flowing water, and gardens that feel more like a small park than a backyard. It's the kind of place where mornings begin on the deck, evenings end on the verandah, and the pace of life naturally shifts down a gear. Inside, timber floors bring warmth and character throughout the home. The spacious lounge opens directly onto a sunny, north-facing covered deck, creating an easy connection between indoor comfort and outdoor living. The layout offers two large double bedrooms - originally three - with the main bedroom now expanded to a generous king-sized retreat. A family bathroom is complemented by a second toilet located off the oversized laundry. The kitchen is both practical and full of charm, featuring timber benchtops, a wood-fired stove alongside gas cooking, and direct access to the deck for effortless entertaining. The home is supplied by spring-fed water, and wide verandahs wrap around three sides of the home, providing shelter and space to enjoy the surroundings in every season. Adding to the appeal is a substantial secondary building - barn-inspired in style - with covered parking in the centre, two large enclosed rooms on either side, and an open-plan upper level offering even more flexibility. The land is productive and well-established, with an impressive variety of fruit trees including kiwifruit vines, grapevines, lemon, apple, plum, lime, orange, apricot, cherry, persimmon, pear, fig, and feijoa. A long hot house near the home supports year-round vegetable growing, while the wider property is divided into five paddocks, mainly sloping, and serviced by a dam and stream. Despite the peaceful setting, convenience is close at hand. Peria Primary School and Playcentre are around 10 minutes away, with Coopers Beach and Taipa only approx. 20 minutes by car, offering schools, shops, a boat ramp, and beautiful beaches. Kaitaia, with its airport, hospital, and retail centre, is approximately 30 minutes away. This is more than a home - it's a lifestyle defined by space, privacy, and connection to the land.
