Positioned in the heart of Northland’s premier growing region, this immaculately presented 5.8195 hectares (more or less) lifestyle property combines proven horticultural performance with a high-quality, fully renovated family home.
Located just minutes from Maungatapere village and zoned rural production, this is a tightly held pocket of volcanic excellence with lifestyle appeal and income potential. The orchard comprises approximately 540 Hass, 60 Reed, 38 Feijoas and 101 polliniser trees planted on flat, fertile volcanic soil with excellent shelter. Water security is a standout with three shares in the Maungatapere water scheme (1,125m³ annually), supported by a 32,000L tank and UV filtration. The entire orchard is irrigated and a comprehensive soil and fertiliser history is available.
The residence is essentially a new build – the original 1980's structure has been extended and extensively renovated to a high standard. With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a study nook across 259sqm (more or less), the home offers both scale and comfort. Heating is well catered for with a fireplace (wetback), a commercial-grade heat pump, a heat transfer system, and an additional small heat pump in the master suite. The house is fully insulated (walls, ceiling, underfloor) and includes an insulated sectional garage door on the large two car garage. Entertaining is easy with a spacious open-plan living area flowing to a large kwila deck overlooking rural views. The kitchen and bathrooms feature modern fittings and finishes, while floors are a mix of laminate, carpet, and tiled wet areas. An added bonus is two sleep-outs to house guests and an extra storage shed. You could even convert the space into a self-contained unit for extended family.
This property offers an exceptional combination of income, lifestyle, and long-term value in a tightly held region with proven soils and excellent rainfall (approx. 1570mm annually). Whether you’re scaling your orchard portfolio or seeking the perfect semi-rural home with income, this is the one to view.
