This stunning 21-hectare lifestyle property offers a truly unique opportunity to secure a private and naturally beautiful landholding bordering the renowned Woodhill Forest. With direct nearby access to Muriwai Beach via 4WD, walking, and horse trails, this is a dream location for outdoor enthusiasts, nature lovers, hunting enthusiasts with excellent deer and duck shooting opportunities, or those seeking space and serenity.
Held organically for the past 30 years (not certified), the property has only had limited Auckland Council weed control carried out in small areas along the western boundary. Previously used for pasture and pine forestry, the land is now in a mixture of grass with wilding pines and extensive regeneration of native vegetation of cabbage trees and other indigenous species.
Positioned within a warm, sheltered valley of dune lakes and facing north, the property enjoys protection from prevailing westerly winds thanks to Woodhill Forest. The contour and layout provide multiple elevated building sites, many with uninterrupted lake and wetland views, offering exceptional potential to create a spectacular lifestyle retreat.
Adding further value, the property has potential for subdivision, with a proposed plan indicating the possibility of four separate titles (subject to council approval).
The land includes recognised significant wetlands and borders Lake Kereta South, while also holding valuable water rights over Lake Kereta South. The sandy soil offers excellent winter drainage, while former lake bed areas provide highly fertile ground.
This ecologically rich area is highly regarded by ornithologists for its remarkable mix of coastal and freshwater birdlife. Rare native species known to inhabit and breed on or around the property include Dabchick, Bittern, Fernbird, and Grey Teal.
In addition to its peaceful and secluded setting, the property remains conveniently located approximately one hour from Auckland CBD, 15 minutes from Parakai Thermal Pools, and only a short drive further to Helensville, offering supermarkets, shops, schools, and essential services.
Nearby attractions and amenities include:
- Te Rau Puriri Regional Park

A truly special property offering privacy, natural beauty, future potential, and an enviable lifestyle in one of Auckland’s hidden coastal gems.
