From the listing agent

In the words of Trevor Staples, Harcourts - Bay of Islands

Escape to the tranquil countryside with this expansive 17-hectare property and make it your own. It offers endless possibilities for those looking to build a lifestyle getaway in the country. Located on Te Tio Road, Umawera in the Hokianga, you are surrounded by farmlands, forest and views of the Mangamuka River, this property is a nature lover's paradise.
There are a number of possible locations to build or move an existing dwelling onto the property, you can take in the views of the river (where Hokianga Harbour starts) or be amongst the peace and tranquillity of the forest and birdsong where the original farmhouse is on the other side. The farmhouse is currently uninhabitable, but with some skill and hard work you could decide to resurrect the old girl or demolish it and start again. You can set it up to be 'off grid' or 'on grid' as well with a power box attached to the old farmhouse.
You can create a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of city life and have access to the wonders of the 'winterless Far North'. Build your dream home, plant orchards, raise stock on your land, or rent your land to the surrounding farmers to graze their cattle while you work out what you want to do.
Great news, there is a 40-foot (oversized) shipping container on the property that is watertight and lockable to keep your building tools and materials safe, a 30,000 litre water tank and the perfect insulated and lined sleep out. You could even turn the shipping container into a tiny home to live in while you make your dreams a reality.
The property has a stunning forest area that is perfect to wander through, ground yourself and get that feeling of peace and serenity while being serenaded by birdsong that surrounds the property. It really does induce those relaxed vibes when you spend time here, the previous owners thought it would be a great place to build an off-grid glamping retreat. It feels that good.
Don't miss out on the chance to own this beautifully unique block of land that delivers you tranquillity with a lifestyle of your choosing. Whether you're looking for a permanent residence, a weekend getaway, off-grid living or an investment opportunity, this property is a must-see, with so many options, get in touch today!

Too far away to matter: nearest powerline 4.4 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.
