About this section

If you've been searching for space, privacy, and a lifestyle you can truly make your own, this is one worth your attention. Set on 4.68 hectares in a peaceful pocket of Ruakaka Ridge View, this property offers a genuine sense of escape, tucked well back from the road where the world feels quieter and the pace slows down. Surrounded by open land and rural outlooks, it delivers the kind of setting buyers are constantly searching for, yet rarely secure. And while it feels private and removed, you're still just a short drive to Ruakaka township, local beaches, and everyday essentials. Opportunities like this are becoming harder to find in such a well-connected rural location, particularly with this level of space and potential. There's clear scope here to add value and shape the property into something truly special, making it an ideal option for those thinking long-term or looking to create their own lifestyle vision. If you've been sitting back waiting for the right opportunity, this could be it. Curious? Call Melany Brown for a viewing, walk the land, explore the options, and see the potential for yourself.
