Yellow Stone Lodge

Hand-crafted from Canadian White Pine logs, the residence tells a story of dedication and vision. Each log was precisely cut and assembled in Canada before being carefully dismantled, shipped, and reassembled on-site in New Zealand — every piece individually numbered to ensure absolute precision.

The result is a home of rare beauty and warmth. Inside, polished Jarrah timber floors and natural timber textures create an inviting sense of comfort, while modern conveniences blend effortlessly with timeless design.

The property features underfloor heating throughout the lower level, and a stunning stone fireplace in the living room ensures year-round comfort and sustainability.

Currently operating successfully as boutique accommodation aptly named Yellowstone Lodge, the property also lends itself perfectly to use as a private residence, a serene retreat for those seeking space, privacy, and a deep connection with nature.

Generous open-plan living areas flow onto expansive decks that capture sweeping rural vistas and ever-changing skies. Three of the six bedrooms enjoy private balconies, each offering a peaceful sanctuary to savour the surrounding tranquility.

Four bedrooms feature ensuites, and three bathrooms are fitted with bidets, a touch of understated luxury.

Beyond the home, meandering pathways lead past ponds and through stands of native bush, enhancing the estate’s natural harmony.

For the enthusiast or collector, the property offers extensive garaging, accommodating up to eight vehicles, with extra-high stud height, electric doors, a workshop, and bathroom facilities. A 15 KVA generator, wired directly into the home, provides peace of mind during power outages.

Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, from the light-filled sunroom to the refreshed interior finishes — creating an atmosphere of understated sophistication and calm.

All this is just a 20-minute drive to Kerikeri Airport or 35 minutes to Paihia, the heart of the Bay of Islands. Or arrive in style by helicopter, with a cleared helipad ready for easy landings.
