Description
We (a well traveled couple from New Zealand and Austria, our 8-year old twins part time, 1 hyper active, friendly GSPxVizsla puppy and 7 happy chicken) live on our rural, off-grid property in the Lower Kaimais in the Bay of Plenty. The property is located about 20mins from Tauranga, 30mins from Matamata and about 1 hour from Hamilton. It encompasses 50 acres of native bush, scrub and pasture. There are private swimming holes, waterfalls, freshwater springs and more than 5kms of tracks through our private valleys and streams. There is also regenerating scrub and a native Tawa/Rimu forest.
We are living plant based (with eggs from our chicken), don't do alcohol or other drugs and want to keep the property free of intoxicants.
We are already looking forward to meeting you all!
