Yellow Stone Lodge

Nestled within 11 hectares of untouched native bush and picturesque countryside, this extraordinary estate embodies a perfect blend of artistry, craftsmanship, and nature. Crafted from Canadian White Pine logs, the residence is a testament to dedication and vision. Each log was meticulously cut and assembled in Canada before being carefully disassembled, shipped, and reassembled on-site in New Zealand, with every piece individually numbered for precision. The result is a home of exceptional beauty and warmth. Inside, polished Jarrah timber floors and natural textures create a welcoming ambiance, while modern conveniences harmoniously integrate with timeless design. The property boasts underfloor heating throughout the lower level, and a stunning stone fireplace in the living room ensures comfort and sustainability year-round. Currently operating as boutique accommodation known as Yellowstone Lodge, the estate is equally suited for private living, offering a tranquil retreat for those seeking space, privacy, and a deep connection with nature. Expansive open-plan living areas flow onto large decks that capture breathtaking rural views and ever-changing skies. Three of the six bedrooms feature private balconies, providing peaceful sanctuaries to enjoy the surrounding tranquility. Four bedrooms include ensuites, while three bathrooms are equipped with bidets, adding a touch of subtle luxury. Beyond the home, winding pathways lead past ponds and through native bush, enhancing the estate's natural harmony. For enthusiasts or collectors, the property includes extensive garaging for up to eight vehicles, with high ceilings, electric doors, a workshop, and bathroom facilities. A 15 KVA generator, wired directly into the home, ensures peace of mind during power outages. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated, from the sun-drenched sunroom to the refreshed interior finishes, creating an atmosphere of understated sophistication and serenity. All this is just a 20-minute drive to Kerikeri Airport or 35 minutes to Paihia, the heart of the Bay of Islands. Alternatively, arrive in style by helicopter, with a cleared helipad ready for easy landings.
