Tucked away in the heart of the Bay of Plenty, this extraordinary 27.5 ha property offers a truly rare opportunity to live completely immersed in nature - yet only 30 to 35 minutes from Tauranga and Mount Maunganui.

Follow the sound of the Whatakao River as it winds its way through pristine native bush, tumbling over naturally formed boulders to create a series of spectacular waterfalls and crystal-clear swimming holes.

Approximately 15 ha of the property are QEII-protected native bush - a sanctuary for birds and wildlife, where red deer are often seen wandering through the ferns. Around 5.5 ha of gently rolling grazing pasture, fenced into six paddocks, provide versatility for stock or hobby farming. There's also a one hectare stand of mature Pinus Radiata, ready for harvest, and a one-hectare riverside recreation and camping area - the ideal spot for glamping, kayaking, or simply unwinding by the water's edge. A well-formed 2.5km all-weather access road weaves through regenerating native bush, giving easy access to every corner of the property.

Already set up for independent living, the property features a 30m2 off-grid pod, multiple caravans, and shipping containers for flexible living, storage, or workshops. With solar power, rainwater collection, and river-fed water supply, this is sustainable living at its best - virtually self-sufficient and completely private.

Two incredible building sites await your vision - one elevated with breathtaking sea views, and another nestled riverside where the gentle sound of flowing water creates a peaceful retreat.

A place where the soundtrack of life is your own waterfall. A place where the noise of the world fades away. A once-in-a-lifetime sanctuary - ready for your next chapter.

Discover your own private paradise.
