7607 Te Araroa Road, Potaka, Gisborne Coastal, Gisborne

Off The Beaten Track and Off The Grid

Potaka is much about living by moments rather than by minutes on the clock face.

Potaka Ohu was established in the early 1970's and still exists as it was first formed - a 40 hectare mix of beautiful, untouched bush and part exotic forest, shared between 14 owners with each having exclusive use of approximately 7 acres.

Over the last 10 years, 7607 Te Araroa Road has been upgraded and greatly improved. Extensive, near new solar panels produce 4,000 watts, ensuring that the property is completely off grid and also powers the impressive security system.

The delightful three level, open plan house combines the simplicity of easier times with modern conveniences and highlights the use of native timbers. Double glazed windows open to wide verandas overlooking the surrounding hills. The huge Oneill shed provides a lock up garage, very large workshop plus bathroom and separate accommodation area while the area in front of the buildings and part of the vehicle access has been concreted and landscaped for easy use.


With its extensive vegetable gardens and fruit trees, fabulous hunting throughout the area and legendary fishing and diving off Lottin Point just a short drive away, this property provides a self-sufficient lifestyle in an untamed locality.

We only get one life - LIVE IT!
