Deadline Sale (unless sold prior) 12pm, Tue 9 Jun 2026

This 202.3428-hectare (more or less) freehold holding on Mt Rangitoto offers a rare blend of history, natural beauty, and future potential. Located just 12 minutes south of Ross and 35 minutes from Hokitika, it remains accessible while still feeling a world away. The current owners have held the property for many years, but the time has come for a new owner.

Access is via Happy Valley Road and across the Kakapotahi River, setting the tone for what is a true West Coast experience. The area itself is steeped in history and is renowned for an abundance of highly mineralised rock, with both silver and gold discovered in the 1860s. That legacy continues today, with ongoing interest from mineral exploration companies.

Predominantly covered in established native bush, the property has its own hut and provides a private and unspoiled environment with strong recreational appeal. Fishing, hunting, boating, hiking, and kayaking are all right on your doorstep, making this an ideal base for those wanting to utilise the land for personal enjoyment or something more commercial.

With its scale, location, and natural features, there is clear potential for an adventure tourism venture or similar opportunity. A unique offering that combines history, resource potential, and raw West Coast landscape - properties like this are rarely available.

Please note that some photography has been supplied by the vendor and is historical, and may not accurately represent the property's current condition, including the hut.
