    I am a semi retired lady living in a peaceful rural location on a lifestyle block. I am into a natural way of living no spraying of chemicals on the property and I eat healthy. Spectacular historic house built in 1880 has lots of history, surrounded by gardens, small forrest and greenery.
    Located only 20 mins from beautiful Whananaki beach and 25 mins from Whangarei. Also 25 mins from the Bay Of Islands Paihia - a very popular tourist destination. Large property has pet donkey, two dogs and three cats.Two other people live on the property. Lots of space and fresh air.
