Northland Beach Property -- Live, Work, Play
Northland draws tourists from all over the world for its long stretches of unspoilt coastline, sandy beaches and rocky bays surrounded by bush and farmland. Much of the coastline is “far from the maddening crowd” and is best typified in the sparsely populated Far North. A number of Far North properties are featured in Bayley’s latest Waterfront Portfolio.
Henderson Bay private beach reserve
The Aupouri Peninsula’s east coast, opposite Ninety-Mile Beach, has a wealth of natural attractions. Just north of Houhora Harbour is Henderson Bay, a majestic white sand beach backing on to low-growing native vegetation. A private six-hectare property is for sale with a two-bedroom 160 square metre brick home on a gently elevated section with a 300-metre frontage onto Pacific Ocean reserve. It offers expansive views of the ocean and easy access to the beach; only the sea gulls are closer to the water. Shopping and services are available in the village of Pukenui about 15 km away.
The house on the property was built in 1994; it has good quality construction featuring tile and polished timber floors with attractive wooden features throughout, and could easily be extended.
