Mere moments away from the surfing mecca of Sandy Bay, this 30.5ha sanctuary takes in the untouched indigenous forest with 400-year-old kauri and pristine running water, sourced from three natural springs deep beneath the surface (Waituropai translates to three good waters)
This is an idyllic hideaway for those looking to connect with nature and make the most of the exquisite solitude and biodiversity. Wake each morning to a sunrise symphony provided by the abundant birdlife and enjoy the kiwi call throughout the night.
Set amongst beautiful organic gardens and grounds, there are established buildings on site, including a modern pod-style cabin with an outdoor shower that has been an Airbnb in the past, plus a huge shed with a high stud, partially converted to incorporate spacious living quarters. Plentiful rainwater, springwater, composting toilets, and solar power are the eco-friendly standards here, with inverter appliances and battery storage allowing for very comfortable living. If you're looking for a retreat destination with potential development, this is a natural choice.
A previous owner has cut a building site on an elevated ridge, but there are plenty of options, and a quarry provides all the brown and blue rock you will need for roading and maintenance. An established driveway allows easy access from the front to the back of the property, through pristine bush and across meandering streams to an old rustic hut with concrete floors.
Here is your chance to switch off from society and connect with the healing energy of nature in one of New Zealand's premier coastal locations, just 40 minutes from the Whangarei CBD and airport.
