All three buildings are accessed via crushed stone driveways — with reinforced concrete parking areas and borders in the vicinity of the buildings. The property is fenced with post and wire and some post and rail. The four main paddocks are currently further subdivided with relocatable tape fencing into eight grazing areas. All grazing areas have shelter/shade trees and water troughs. An electric fence unit controls hot wires as needed. The entire perimeter boundary has been fully rabbit fenced and this is also helpful for containing dogs. Stock yards and a loading ramp are located adjacent to the main property entrance in the northwest corner at 436 Kapiro Road. A second legal access off Doonside Road forms part of the title and is for the exclusive use of the property.

The terrain at the property is mainly flat to gently falling, with a small steeper area to the south planted in Mãnuka. The land is very well drained — aided by the unique soils, terrain and extensive network of formed drainage channels.

From where the house sits, the contour rises gently to the north and east and falls gently to the west. To the south the land drops away — offering expansive views from the living area over the ha-ha wall and Waipapa valley tree canopy to the Waitangi Forest. There is about 120m of open pasture between the house and the shelter hedge on the northern boundary and about 70m of open pasture to the southern boundary.

The grounds are extensively planted with many native trees and shrubs which include Põhutukawa, Puriri, Mãnuka, Five Finger, Tĩ Kõuka and Nĩkau. Mature Liquid Amber, Oak and Maple trees line the main driveway. Other large trees include Jacaranda, Willow, Camelia, Fishtail and Queen palms. The mature giant bamboo hedge along our western boundary is about 4m thick and 15m-20m high and the Cryptomeria Japonica and Tecomaria Capensis hedge that runs along the entire Kapiro Road frontage is about 3m thick and 6m high — providing fantastic privacy and shelter.
