12 Steam Hauler Track Waitakere, Waitakere City

This home could be your very own retreat, a sanctuary of peace and tranquillity, where you can experience the sound of silence and admire the stunning stars with no light pollution. During the day the large windows frame the beauty that nature has to offer: spectacular and uninterrupted views of the bush, amazing birdlife and pure immersion in nature.

Set on ten acres of mostly NZ native bush, enough gardens to grow your own vegetables and have some chickens. There is a great outdoor entertainment area with a fabulous concrete swimming pool, perfect for those hot summer days.

Built in the 1970s, this rustic and quirky log cabin style family home has space for everyone. On split levels, the clever construction, large windows and covered verandas across one side of this home take full advantage of the spectacular views across the bush.

Multiple entrances and a circular driveway are excellent for busy family life. There are two separate living areas, one on each side of the home, three spacious bedrooms and some modern comforts with the two heat pumps.

A grand staircase leads to the living quarter on the lower level: the hub of this home, where the fully equipped kitchen is ready to feed a crowd. Exposed logs and wooden ceilings provide this home with a rustic look while giving the wonderful feeling of warmth and total relaxation.

The property could do with some maintenance, so it could be the perfect opportunity for you and your family to secure this magical spot and make it your own. There are several sheds on the property, some in good order and others with lots of potential. There is extra space under the house, mainly good for storage or a games room.

Here you have the best of both worlds: secluded and surrounded by nature and yet only a short drive to the Waitakere Township, a 10-15min drive to the motorway or a short stroll to the beautiful Bethells & O'Neills Beaches. Close to all amenities, railway station and cafes. Watch the full video with lots of features explained + drone footage!
