Need more nature? Here is an antidote to the busyness of life, located a mere 30 mins from Opotiki. This unique 23.3ha property backs onto the Raukumara ranges and is blessed with both privacy and stunning nature. Those that like adventure will appreciate the river crossing at the ford connecting you to a driveway up to your very own escape from the world. You do have neighbours within walking distance, but you would never know it as the property looks out to an expansive view of the mountains and down to the riverbed below.
A consented half-round barn house offers 3 bedrooms, a good-sized kitchen, bathroom and living room, and is cosy in winter and cool in summer. Head upstairs for even more stunning views - the upstairs bedrooms are kept warm via a fireplace down below that also offers a wetback to heat water. The sound of the river mixed with birdsong are the only interruptions to the silence here as the river is a buffer from any traffic at all, save for the other neighbours' driveways. A spring from the hills gravity-feeds water to the house, and there are numerous hunting opportunities (deer, pig and goat) for buyers keen to be more self-sufficient. The famous Pahiki track starts from just across the river and joins up with the Motu Trail loop.
This type of property would be ideal for those with an adventurous spirit looking for a retirement retreat or hunting holiday home, or for first home buyers and families looking for space and privacy.
