Details
Description
Small rural property 5kms from Thames, beautiful views, peaceful surrounds and lots of space but close to town. Over the last 30 years I have planted trees and gardens and renovated my home and continue to do so. I keep a vegetable garden and graze sheep and chickens. I enjoy cooking and try to eat local and home grown produce. Hauraki bike trail entry very close to home. I am a musician and regularly host other musicians to play at home.
