Description

Family home with small olive grove (320 olives), chickens, guinea fowl & white indian runner ducks on 2 picturesque hectares (5 acres) with pond and orchard. We get eggs most of the year round from the chickens, as well as from the guinea fowl and ducks if you can find their nests. Two resident cats, a burmese and a aging siamese who thrive in their outdoor area. Situated at the end of a quiet country road. House includes family room & lounge & office as well as the 4 bedrooms. On tank water. Office uses broadband internet. There is a large vegetable garden. The orchard contains lemon, limes, apple, grapefruit, tangerine, kumquat, figs, cherry guavas, also plum & pear. There is a tree swing which is very popular with children.

Neighborhood

We live about 1/2 north of Auckland and close to Orewa and the Gulf Harbour area. Good schools near by. We live next door to a large farm so in many situations on the property there are no houses to be seen. The house is on the top of a gentle sloping hill. The situation is awesome for children.

All the other houses in the street are live style blocks as well. There is a great community spirit in the street and meet up for drinks & a chat. Public transport is not within walking distance.

Beaches are 10 minutes drive away.

About Us

We''re a family with 2 adults and 2 children, a 7 year old girl and 8 year old boy. I am born in Holland and my husband is a new zealander. The children go to school locally, about a 7 minute drive.

We spend a lot of time outdoors in the weekend. We often go skiing with a 4-5 hr drive in the winter for the weekend or a week at a time.

We want to work in the Netherlands for a year so that the chilren can learn dutch and meet their dutch family.

Destination

I have family in Houten and if I can find work in the general Amsterdam / Utrecht / Rotterdam area, then would like to be close or in Houten.
