Tucked away in a peaceful pocket of Northland, this remarkable 16-hectare property is steeped in history and brimming with possibility. Owned by the same family for over 100 years, it offers a rare chance to secure a slice of rural paradise where natural beauty, privacy, and heritage come together. From its sprawling native bush to its picturesque river boundary, this property is perfect for those seeking a unique retreat or a canvas for future development.
For those ready to create something new, this block offers multiple potential building platforms to design and build your dream home or retreat. With two separate access points, the layout provides flexibility for future plans, making it ideal for a family lifestyle property, a private sanctuary, or even dual dwellings. The land’s scale and versatility mean the only limit is your imagination.
The land is a nature lover’s dream, largely blanketed with established native bush that creates a sense of calm and seclusion. The river that winds along the property’s edge is a stunning feature, providing a private space for summer swims, riverside picnics, or simply enjoying the peaceful sound of flowing water. With an abundance of birdlife and native flora, this block offers a true escape from the hustle and bustle, all while being conveniently close to local amenities.
One of the most captivating aspects of this property is its rich heritage. Standing proudly on the land is a historic cottage dating back to the 1800s. While time has left its mark, the home’s character and charm present a wonderful opportunity for restoration, inviting you to bring it back to life and honour its history. Alongside the cottage, an old milking shed adds to the nostalgic appeal, offering a glimpse into the property’s farming past.
While the property feels worlds away, its location is perfectly positioned for both privacy and convenience. The nearby Pūketi Forest offers stunning bush walks and outdoor adventures, while Waipapa is just 15 kilometres away, Kerikeri 20 kilometres, and Kaeo a short 16-kilometre drive in the opposite direction. This makes it easy to enjoy the best of both worlds: peaceful rural living with shops, schools, and services all within easy reach.
Whether you’re drawn to the idea of restoring a piece of history, building your own rural escape, or simply enjoying the beauty of the land as it is, this property is a rare find. Its mix of historic charm, natural features, and development potential makes it a true gem in the Far North.
