A property of this scale, position, and future potential is becoming increasingly scarce.
An ecological assessment - available to qualified parties - has been completed in support of a proposed subdivision. Subject to Auckland Council consent, there is potential to create five premium 1-hectare lifestyle lots, comprising:
• Three titles generated through the restoration and retirement of non-productive land
• Two titles enabled by the enhancement and permanent legal protection of identified wetland areas
Auckland Council has demonstrated clear support for 1-hectare lifestyle titles where landowners actively rehabilitate marginal farmland and safeguard significant wetland ecosystems. Opportunities of this nature within the district are increasingly limited.
Natural Landscape & Land Composition
Spanning approximately 44 hectares, the property presents a compelling blend of environmental richness and productive pasture.
Approximately 3 hectares comprise established wetland, gully, and lake environments, creating a naturally diverse landscape. The balance is quality grazing land across gently undulating terrain, enhanced by natural wetlands and several spring-fed dams.
This is land that offers both immediate usability and long-term legacy value.
A well-formed network of durable, all-weather farm tracks runs from Valley Road through to Forestry Road, ensuring seamless internal connectivity.
The property includes:
• 26 well-fenced paddocks
• Individual water troughs to each paddock, supplied by on-site dams
• A central race system enabling efficient stock management
• A tidy three-bay barn near the Valley Road entrance
• Functional sheep yards
The existing track network also provides a strong framework for future subdivision access, with flexibility to extend the roading system as required.
Position & Accessibility
Enjoying prominent dual road frontage on both Valley Road and the sealed Forestry Road, the property offers convenient access in multiple directions - toward Riverhead and Coatesville one way, and Silverdale and Albany the other.
This strategic location combines rural privacy with proximity to key lifestyle destinations and urban amenities.
A Vision for the Future
This is more than a farm - it is an opportunity to create thoughtfully positioned lifestyle holdings while contributing positively to environmental restoration.
Properties offering this scale, ecological significance, infrastructure, and subdivision potential are increasingly rare.
