  Description

  My husband and myself living on a large lifestyle block in the hills just out of Paeroa. It feels like in the middle of nowhere. 5km on a gravel road, crossing a stream five times and then up into the hills with beautiful views, surrounded by bush and little streams.
  We grow our own food with our vegetable garden & orchard. We raise chickens, sheep, cattle and deer which you can pet. We also milk a couple of cows and make our own cream and butter.
