Dan Mitchell brings a rare depth of experience to rural and lifestyle real estate, having worked across small and large-scale farming operations throughout New Zealand. Now based on a lifestyle block in Brightwater, Dan lives the lifestyle many clients are buying and selling — and understands the real-world challenges that come with it.

Before joining the Bayleys Country team, Dan built, grew, and sold his own rural-focused business. As a former farmer and small business owner, he brings genuine insight to the decisions his clients are making — whether they’re stepping back from the land, diversifying, or buying their first block.

Grounded by a strong work ethic and a practical approach, Dan approaches real estate with fresh energy, straight-up communication, and no ego. Clients appreciate his honesty, practical mindset, and ability to see the real value in a property. He’s not afraid to get stuck in — and works relentlessly to get the job done.

Whether you are looking sell now or simply planning ahead, Dan’s ready to help you make smart, informed decisions about your rural property.
