From the listing agent

In the words of Daniel Foote, Ray White - Whangarei

Set across an extraordinary 49.45 hectares, this is a property unlike anything else currently available. A private retreat where native bush, wetlands, open grazing and kilometres of well-formed tracks combine to create your own slice of New Zealand wilderness.

As you arrive, the quality of the work completed here is immediately apparent. The well-engineered access road winds its way into the valley, where beautiful wetlands, post and rail fencing, extensive drainage improvements and landscaped grounds create a striking first impression before leading you to the property's parking and accommodation area.

At the heart of the property is a substantial four-car garage, thoughtfully retrofitted to provide comfortable accommodation for short stays. Alongside it, a container-style cabin offers additional temporary accommodation, creating the ideal base camp to enjoy everything this remarkable property has to offer.

From here, the adventure begins. Explore kilometres of walking tracks and four-wheel drive trails that wind through native bush, across wetlands and up to the ridgeline, where the former Pa site enjoys an elevated outlook across the surrounding landscape. A well-formed track also provides access to a small quarry, adding another practical feature to this incredibly diverse property.

For those with horses or livestock, there is ample grazing together with fantastic riding opportunities throughout the property. There is also plenty of scope to establish an arena, create additional infrastructure or investigate future building opportunities, subject to the necessary approvals.

Whether you continue enjoying this property exactly as it is, build your dream home, or further develop what has already been started, the potential here is exceptional. The hard work has been done, with quality infrastructure already in place, allowing you to enjoy the property from day one while planning its next chapter.

For the current owners, this has been a peaceful country escape. A place to disconnect, recharge and immerse themselves in nature. Over nearly a decade they have carefully transformed it into the truly special property you see today.

Despite feeling completely immersed in the New Zealand countryside, you're surprisingly well connected. Parua Bay Village is only around 5 km away, offering everyday conveniences including a supermarket, cafe, medical centre, petrol station, school and other local amenities. Whangarei's CBD is also only around 20 km, making this an exceptional opportunity to enjoy complete privacy without sacrificing convenience.

If you've been searching for space, privacy and the freedom to create something extraordinary, 345 Tarauni Road deserves your attention.

Orientation we design around — see the contours on the aerial

Too far away to matter: nearest powerline 836 m · nearest rail 11.5 km.

Distances are from the parcel centroid to Topo 1:50k features (LINZ); site aspect is approximate, from the 1m LiDAR contours. Road frontage is a proxy — centreline intersection with parcel boundary, not a legal access measure. Confirm setbacks with a district-plan check before purchase.
