277 Quarry Road, Awanui

More than a lifestyle block. It's a lifeline to something real.

The section faces north, drinking in sun from dawn to dusk, with rural views that don't try to impress you-they just exist, quietly majestic. At night, no city bleed just stars so sharp and clear you'll swear someone built an observatory just for you. And unlike half the Far North, this site sits outside both flood and tsunami zones.

The house site is flat, tucked into the slope like a secret. Two thirds of the way down the property, a natural spring rises and at the bottom you'll find a dam fed by spring and rain.
Power waits at the gate on a transformer or go grid-tied, with the option to go entirely off grid with solar or generator power. There's already a ventilated, rain-protected generator shed standing by.

Two smaller sheds-one garden (4m2), one storage (9m2), hold the bones of whatever you're building. A portable composting toliet is on site, with the option to replace it with a portable chemical or incinerator toilet. An outdoor shower stands temporary in place, a gasmate hot water system comes with the property. Water to the house site is gravity fed. If you're passionate about sustainability, the soil is fertile and growing conditions ideal, all year round. Basic gardens in place with a selection of fruit and nuts trees now established.

Living here starts raw and builds from there. Five minutes from Kaitaia's supermarkets, Mitre 10, and hunting & fishing stores, yet a world away from the noise. Fifteen minutes to the raw power of 90 Mile Beach. Twenty-two to Ahipara. Twenty-five to Doubtless Bay. And when you need to escape deeper still, Kerikeri is just an hour and a half east. Kaitaia Airport is walking distance, with barely two flights a day - noise is less intrusive than a truck passing on the road. Direct flights to Auckland available via Barrier Air.
