Where rugged west coast beauty meets productive farmland, this iconic beachfront property presents a rare opportunity to own a large-scale private estate on New Zealand’s spectacular coastline. Spanning 682 hectares (more or less), the property combines two adjoining farms – the 484-hectare (more or less) Papunga Block and the 198-hectare (more or less) Mangati Block – to create one substantial holding.
Currently operated as a sheep and beef farm, it winters over 3,700 ewes, including replacements, and 140 cattle, all finished on-site. The land features classic New Zealand hill country with limestone and ash soils, rolling terrain, and well-fertilised pastures, while excellent laneways, fencing, and a reliable bore and spring-fed water system ensure smooth, efficient management.
The property is thoughtfully equipped with all the infrastructure needed for continued farming success, including a four-stand woolshed, covered sheep and cattle yards, implement sheds, stables, and even a private airstrip for easy access. Whether you continue its farming operation or explore new ventures, this infrastructure ensures a seamless transition. Accommodation on the property provides flexibility for family, guests, or staff. A substantial five-bedroom homestead is set among mature gardens, complemented by two three-bedroom homes ideal for staff or extended family. Adding to the appeal, a charming two-bedroom beachfront cottage offers the perfect coastal retreat.
More than just a working farm, this coastal estate offers an unparalleled lifestyle. Enjoy duck shooting ponds, pig hunting, and deer stalking right on your doorstep. The property also includes nine hectares of QEII-protected native bush and 14 hectares of pine plantings, providing both natural beauty and environmental value. At its heart lies a remarkable 1.4 kilometres of private beachfront – a secluded stretch of New Zealand’s wild west coast, offering peace, privacy, and sweeping ocean views.
The opportunities here are extensive. Whether you’re looking to expand your farming enterprise, develop luxury coastal accommodation, or explore eco-tourism or lifestyle subdivision options, this property offers unmatched potential.
45 Te Akau Coast Road represents the very best of coastal New Zealand – productive land, incredible scenery, and a truly enviable lifestyle. This is more than a farm. It’s a generational asset and a chance to build your legacy on one of the country’s most striking coastlines.
