LIVE THE DREAM - ROTOTUNA HOMESTEAD, POUTO PENINSULA

What if your next home didn't just offer a lifestyle - but also produced a proven, year-round income from day one?

Set on 1.58+ha on the remote and remarkably beautiful fertile Pouto Peninsula, Rototuna Homestead offers a rare combination of privacy, self-sufficiency, and established earning potential. It's the kind of place where you can genuinely step away from the noise - without stepping away from financial practicality.

A real standout here is the established Kaffir Lime Leaf orchard (approx 400 trees), already supplying long-standing customers and providing a consistent, relatively low-maintenance income stream. For many buyers, the appeal lies in being able to walk into something that's already working - rather than starting from scratch.

At the heart of the property is an impressive and spacious 263sqm homestead (built 2008), designed for relaxed country living. Open-plan spaces flow out to a wraparound covered deck, while the upper-level primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a sense of separation from the rest of the home.

The supporting infrastructure adds further versatility. A substantial two-storey, four-bay garage/workshop (circa 2010) provides over 100sqm of additional upper-level carpeted living space - currently configured with a rumpus lounge, bar, deck, and extra rooms. Potentially ideal for extended family, work-from-home, or guest accommodation.

Additional outbuildings include a separate "Packing Room" with kitchenette and bathroom, a Ute Shed, and a three-bay Boat & Tractor Shed - all well-suited to lifestyle or small-scale commercial use.

For those drawn to greater independence, the property is well set up to potentially support off-grid living if desired, with rainwater and spring-fed supply, UV filtration, solar capability, and wood stove heating, wetback and cooking. Established gardens, fruit and nut trees, and space for animals further enhance the self-sufficiency aspect.

The location completes the picture - just 15 minutes to Kellys Bay and the Kaipara Harbour with its renowned fishing, within reach of Ripiro (NZ's longest driveable beach), 40-mins to Dargaville Town supermarket, 90-mins to Whangarei City, and approximately three hours from Auckland. A small, welcoming community and nearby schooling make this a surprisingly workable option for families as well.

This is a property that offers genuine options - live simply, earn from the land, host, work remotely, or create something entirely your own - all within a setting and existing infrastructure that feels fabulously removed from the pace of everyday life.

Allow a good 45-60 mins to view this extraordinary property.
