From the listing agent
In the words of Craig Kenyon, LJ Hooker – Warkworth, Kaiwaka & Leigh
A peaceful lifestyle haven, a perfect holiday getaway and a place to build your future.
Escape the everyday and discover the charm of this character filled property in the sought after Upper Tara, renowned for its fertile soils, natural beauty and relaxed rural lifestyle.
Set on a generous 3,167m2 lifestyle section, this private retreat is surrounded by established trees, a secluded setting where you can slow down, reconnect and enjoy.
At the heart of the property a rustic timber cabin and a second smaller cabin, offers the perfect base for weekend getaways, family holidays or simply enjoying your own private sanctuary. A handy lean-to with a simple camp kitchen creates a space to gather with friends and family, share a meal and make memories.
Further down the driveway, a barn structure provides additional versatility, while a 20-foot shipping container offers secure storage. Three water tanks provide an excellent water source, established fruit trees, include avocado, grapefruit, mandarin, feijoa, macadamia, orange, lime and lemon.
Your holiday retreat is waiting, enjoy it now, and build your future here when the time is right.

Too far away to matter: nearest powerline 443 m · nearest rail 10.1 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.
