Live in Rural Serenity
Hilltop, our warm double glazed abode is a home tucked away at the base of the Waipango pine forest. Fully furnished with 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and beautiful views over farmland and native bush, this is a premium family home that is now available to it's next tenants.
In addition to food and forests, at Mangaroa Farms we’re also growing a village. And for the first time, we have a space in the village available for general residency / rent.
A single hill separates Mangaroa from the Greater Wellington population. So it’s a fast 7 minutes to the train, 12 minutes to Upper Hutt with most basic needs, or 30 minutes to Wellington central.

But, the “what” of village life is less relevant than the “who”... and it’s really the people (te tangata) that make this place so special.
Participation in “village life” is opt-in. We resist the insular thinking that defines many “intentional communities.” There's overarching respect given to personal space, sovereignty, and boundaries. That said, a whole individual is always part of a bigger whole. We recognize the mutuality of living together in a rural context on Planet Earth.
It’s within that context that we are opening the invitation for a family to join our village.
