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.
