Sheltered within 6157sqm of extraordinary, hand-tended landscape, this one-of-a-kind Ohiwa Harbour retreat is more than a property. It is an ecosystem, a creative haven and a deeply restorative way of life, hidden from the road and wrapped in thriving nature.

A network of terraced gardens, a huge variety of fruit trees and hand-built paths weaves across the hillside, forming an environment that feels both wildly abundant and lovingly curated. Water supply is either rain water or a natural spring. Towering trees, ferns, palms, native bush and edible plantings create a tapestry of greenery. For gardeners, growers, herbalists, or anyone drawn to living close to nature, the land itself is the treasure.

The structures onsite echo the same grounded creativity. A rustic studio cabin sits elevated among the trees. An ideal writer’s perch, artist’s workspace, meditation hut or spare sleeping cabin. Below, a series of handcrafted outbuildings support a lifestyle of self-sufficiency: raised garden beds, a greenhouse, storage sheds and a covered outdoor workbench.

While the setting feels worlds away, Ohiwa Harbour and the beach are just moments away. Ōpōtiki township is an easy drive for supplies and community. Whakatane is a 20 minute drive.

This unique property offers off grid, self sufficient living in a very beautiful location.
