About this section

Escape to your own private sanctuary on approx. 1.0830ha of freehold land, where rolling farmland views stretch out before you and the northwest sun lingers into the evening. Sheltered from prevailing winds and thoughtfully prepared with completed earthworks and a designated building site, the groundwork is already laid for something truly special. At the rear of the property, a gentle stream winds its way to a secluded waterfall-an everyday reminder of the natural beauty that surrounds you. Previously consented for a three-bedroom, two-storey home plus three Airbnb dwellings (consent lapsed April 2024), with architectural plans by an award-winning designer available by negotiation, this is a canvas ready for your vision-whether it's a peaceful retreat, a family haven, or a lifestyle escape with income potential. Perfectly positioned in Northland, just moments from Kerikeri and the Bay of Islands, you'll enjoy the best of both worlds: privacy, space, and connection to one of New Zealand's most loved coastal regions. A rare opportunity to create something deeply personal, in a place that feels a world away.

Survey data from LINZ Landonline. A surveyor's boundary redefinition can cost $3–10k+ depending on site conditions — factor it in if you plan to build close to a boundary and existing marks are damaged or missing.
