Description

We live in a small rural community in a grape growing region. Our house is a modern, one level family home and enjoys wide bush views. Our house is very private and opens out onto a large patio and outdoor swimming pool. We have 4 adult bicycles and one child's bicycle available for use as well as a 7 seater family car. The small farm (6 acres) has ducks, chickens and sheep. Within 20 minutes drive are wild west coast beaches or alternatively, picturesque east coast beaches that are great for swimming at. The city is 20 minutes drive away, and this is set around a harbour. In the local area are vineyards, winerys and many different cafes. Within 5 minutes walk is a general store, where groceries can be purchased. A supermarket is 10km away, and this shopping centre also has clothes stores, doctors, pharmacies and movies theatres. Fresh farm produce can be bought locally at farm stores.

We have 3 children - aged 13, 11 and 5. (2 girls and a boy). Peter and I have been married for 19 years and have lived in this house for the last 8 years. We enjoy going to the beach, as well as walking in the Waitakere Ranges which are nearby. In winter, we like to curl up and read books in front of the fire or play games as a family. Visitors to our house enjoy the peace and tranquillity as well as the bush views. A small river winds around the farm, and we go kayaking and fishing in the river in the summertime.
