Description
Welcome to our very loved home! Set in the foothills of the Waitakere Ranges- farmlands and bush. Stoney Creek stream runs along the boundary line, featuring plentiful native trees and birds- let nature be your alarm clock! Our two darling dogs, Zigi and Colin will be happy to share the space and meals with you, helping you to explore Henderson Valley with a daily walk. Lots of houseplants will appreciate attention and occasional hydration.
The evenings are super cosy with either the fireplace or heat pump, and an outdoor tub to enjoy a peaceful soak under the stars.
Pukeko Cafe is a 3km walk away, dog-friendly and serves wholesome meals and delicious brews. Near us are several bush walks- the Pipe Line trail off Mountain Road, Henderson Valley Scenic Reserve off Candia Road and the Seibel Scenic Reserve. The Opanuku Cycle Path is a short drive away and a place Colin and Zigi often walk, where we follow the Opanuku Stream into Henderson Park and back. We also cycle there from home- visiting the Corban Estate Arts Centre and their Coffee Studio.
Lots of opportunity to settle into a slower pace of life here. We are hoping to find someone who is able to work remotely- Colin and Zigi are used to having company throughout the day. Should that not always be possible, my parents are nearby to support the sitter.
