Discover a truly special lifestyle opportunity on Northland's stunning Pouto Peninsula - a place where peace, productivity, and natural beauty come together. Whether you're an agribusiness entrepreneur, a remote-working family, or an eco self-sufficiency enthusiast, this 1.58ha Rototuna Homestead offers the freedom to live off the land while earning a steady income from its thriving Kaffir Lime Leaf orchard.
Just 15 minutes from Kellys Bay's calm swimming waters and world-class Kaipara Harbour fishing, and only three hours from Auckland, this unique location combines seclusion with accessibility. Explore Ripiro Beach - New Zealand's longest drivable beach - or enjoy pig hunting, horse riding, and fishing on your doorstep. The friendly local community, nearby school, and subtropical climate make this a wonderfully liveable coastal haven.
Built circa 2008, the spacious 263sqm Rototuna Homestead exudes country character with open-plan living flowing to a wraparound covered deck and a full upper-level primary suite.
A modern two-storey 4-bay garage-workshop adds over 100sqm of versatile second-story space with a rumpus lounge, bar, deck, and additional rooms - perfect for teenagers, AirBnB, or remote work.
Property outbuildings include a "Packing Room" with kitchenette and bathroom, a Ute Shed, and a 3-bay Boat & Tractor Shed.
The property's productive Kaffir Lime Leaf orchard of 411 trees has long-standing supply relationships with Turners & Growers and Fresh As, providing a reliable, low-maintenance income. The orchard is GAP-certified, spray-free, and well-protected by hail cloth and wind mesh, with simple harvesting and distribution systems already in place a new owner can arrange to potentially take over.
Rototuna Homestead is fully set up for off-grid living if desired - with multiple rainwater and spring-fed tanks, UV filtration, solar power systems, and a wood stove for heating, cooking, and hot water. Large vegetable gardens, fruit and nut trees, and space for animals support genuine self-sufficiency, while native birdlife adds daily charm.
During Cyclone Gabrielle, the property remained fully functional - a testament to its thoughtful design and resilience.
This is more than a home - it's an opportunity to live sustainably, earn income, and embrace a slower, more grounded lifestyle in one of Aotearoa's last great coastal secrets.
