Lockwood home in native forest
We are selling our house. Native trees are a big feature. Our canopy is dominated by kanuka (most of them more than half a century old) and kohuhu and mamaku but there are also, on or just outside the property, specimens of kaikomako, karamu, kauri, kowhai, mahoe, ngaio, pohutukawa, puriri, rama rama, ti-kauka. Lower than the canopy but over 2 metres high and mostly at least 40 years old are hange hange, horoeka, karaka, kohekohe, koromiko, miro, ponga, rewa rewa, rimu, taraire, tarata, taupata, titoki, totara, wharangi, and whauwhaupaku. Several climbing plants, such as the brilliantly-flowering puawhananga, have reached the canopy, and there are several species of ferns, flaxes, and ground covers. We have a productive apple tree and a very productive lemon tree as well as numerous herbs and other introduced plants. Our RV, 6 months old, is $750,000. Sea views include Mana Island, and we have three bedrooms plus office/bedroom. We have chosen an agent but not signed a contract yet.
