Nestled in 14 hectares (more or less, subject to issue of new title) of pristine native bush, this exceptional property is located just twelve minutes from Taupo. The current owners have dedicated themselves to helping nature thrive, creating a haven for New Zealand's unique flora and fauna. Extensive pest control and thoughtful plantings have nurtured the land, resulting in an environment where the vibrant song of native birds echoes through the trees, and you can truly feel the magic of nature all around you.

With an abundance of native species such as Matai, Totara, Miro, Kamahi and Tree Ferns, this is one of the purest native blocks to ever come to market. Wander along serene tracks beneath a cool, leafy canopy during the day, and marvel at the glow worms lighting up the night. The natural beauty of this land will captivate you, offering the perfect balance of tranquility and access to adventure. Of significance is the now thriving population of the endangered and declining native bird species of Popokotea or Whitehead as well as Kereru, Tui, Korimako, Tomtit and Piwakawaka.

These pods feature covered outdoor kitchens, outdoor bathing areas, insulated rooms, and cosy wood-burning fires - offering the ultimate off-grid glamping experience. Designed with care and attention to detail, each pod is an intimate escape into nature, providing a luxurious yet sustainable living space. The property also presents a thriving business opportunity, with the pods currently marketed as an environmentally conscious couples' escape, generating high demand.
