POUTO PENINSULA PARADISE: SECLUDED ROTOTUNA HOMESTEAD OFF-GRID OASIS + ORCHARD INCOME
Live the dream on Northland's Pouto Peninsula - a breathtakingly private 1.58ha lifestyle property where self-sufficiency, income, and total tranquillity meet. Rototuna Homestead sits in its own natural valley, with no neighbours in sight - the perfect retreat for eco-living, remote work, WWOOF-style hosting, communal living, or even outdoor music gatherings without disturbing a soul.
Only 15 minutes to Kellys Bay, world-class fishing on the Kaipara Harbour, and within easy reach of iconic Ripiro Beach, this location feels remote yet remains wonderfully accessible. Local primary schools, a friendly rural community, outstanding soil, and Northland's subtropical climate round out the lifestyle appeal.
Less than 20 years old, the spacious 263sqm homestead offers open-plan living to a wraparound covered deck, plus a full upper-level primary suite.
Plus a circa 15-yr-old 4-bay garage/workshop adds over 100sqm of versatile second-floor space of rumpus lounge with bar, deck, and three carpeted extra rooms - an ideal setup for teens, work-from-home options, or potential AirBnB/WWOOF accommodation (subject to the application habitation consents).
MULTIPLE ADDITIONAL OUTBUILDINGS INCLUDING:
- Packing Room with kitchenette + bathroom
- Ute Shed
- 3-Bay Boat and Tractor Shed
The productive Kaffir Lime Leaf orchard (411 trees) provides a steady, low-maintenance income with long-standing supply relationships, and is GAP-certified, spray-free, and protected by hail cloth and wind mesh. The orchard is simple to operate, with systems a new owner can potentially continue and potentially substantially expand upon.
Also designed for optional off-grid capability, the property includes:
- Rainwater and spring-fed tanks
- UV filtration
- Solar power systems
- Wood stove for heating, cooking and wetback hot water
- Large vegetable gardens, fruit and nut trees, and space for animals
Native birdlife, total privacy, and peaceful valley surrounds make daily life here feel grounded and restorative.
During Cyclone Gabrielle, the property remained fully functional - a testament to its off-grid resilience.
Rototuna Homestead is more than a property - it's a self-sustaining haven, a creative community space, a lifestyle business opportunity, and a private sanctuary all in one.
