  • Super Affordable Off-Grid Paradise

Nestled in native bush just 12 minutes south of Mangonui is this super affordable off-grid paradise with 6.989 Ha of bush and pastoral land and superb views of locally famous Taratara Rock.

This property includes a lovingly finished 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage built around two shipping containers (unconsented but full of character), a matching barn with additional storage space (unconsented), terraced vege gardens and a small orchard.

Located just a short drive from Doubtless Bay, Taupo Bay, and Whangaroa Harbour, this stunning property provides a private natural retreat close to amenities and attractions.

The cottage is set back from the road down a gently sloping gravel drive and positioned to take maximum advantage of the superb views. The construction is a work of a real craftsman with beautiful timber features and thoughtful details throughout. Indoor areas expand out to a large covered front deck with multiple sets of folding doors, blending daily living with the spectacular natural environment.

The off-grid setup includes a simple solar system for lighting and pumping water, a 25,000 rainwater tank (no stream on property), gas cooking and refrigeration, a wood burning stove, composting toilet, and a Honda EU30iS generator.

Surrounding grounds comprise a varied patchwork of pasture and regenerating native bush with plenty of space to accommodate animals, orchards, and gardens. There are four fenced paddocks (and one partially fenced area) that can accommodate stock right away, and the barn provides warm sheltered areas for animals over-winter, and space to store feed. The driveway continues past the house to a turnaround area that provides access to the land below and additional guest parking.

This unique property offers an exceptional opportunity for sustainable living in one of Northland’s most desirable locations at an incredibly affordable price.

NOTE: The property is being sold an ‘as is, where is’ basis.

  • Lot 3 DP 546459 Kohumaru Road, Mangonui

Just 20 minutes drive inland from Mangonui/Coopers Beach (approximately 11.72km) is this very desirable 2.39 hectares of stunning tranquillity with its own forested stony bottom stream. An unformed 30-40m drive leads down to a beautiful north facing elevated and sheltered potential house site with large macrocarpas that could easily be felled to make room for a very private home with tranquil bush views.

This property is located via a quiet gravel road that winds its way up a river valley and into the hills behind Mangonui. The land slopes away from the road and is mostly clad in lush regenerating native bush.

The surrounding neighbourhood features a charming enclave of well-established lifestyle properties nestled amongst a large tract of regenerating native forest. Resident birdlife includes flocks of Tui and Rosella, Kukupa, Miromiro and Kiwi. Weed control will be important in helping ensure the native bush flourishes but there is already a wonderful diversity of native plants and mature forest nearby to act as a seed source so no need to invest in native plantings to see this ecosystem thrive.

This property will appeal to anyone wanting to build a private native bush haven in an outstanding natural environment.
