About this section

Set high on a hillside, this self-contained container home and separate sleepout offer the space and freedom to live life your way. Enjoy wide valley views, privacy and the satisfaction of sustainable living on your own 4.7903 hectare (more or less) block. The main 6m high-cube container has been professionally converted for comfort and practicality, featuring a tidy kitchen, bathroom, and open-plan living. The extra 4m sleepout is ideal for guests, a home office, or creative space. Also included in the sale is an outdoor Fresco canopy. Step outside to established vegetable gardens, fruit trees, and fenced paddocks ready for animals. A dam provides water for the land, and there's plenty of room to expand or simply enjoy the quiet and fresh air. Located at the Herekino end of Diggers Valley, you're close enough to town for convenience - approximately 20 minutes to Ahipara, 90 Mile Beach, and Shipwreck Bay - yet far enough away to feel truly off-grid and connected to nature. If you've been dreaming of a simple, sustainable lifestyle with beautiful views and room to grow, this hilltop hideaway could be just what you've been looking for. For more information or to arrange a viewing, contact Andrew Bakker 021 915 643.

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.
