Nature and potential in Maungatapere

64.63ha of protected native bush, manuka and grazing land
For those with a deep appreciation for conservation, this 64.63-hectare property in Maungatapere offers a rare opportunity to secure a legacy of native preservation and lifestyle potential.
Just 11km from Maungatapere village and 22km to Whangārei, the location provides the best of both worlds — peaceful rural surroundings at the end of a quiet country road, with town conveniences within easy reach.
Approximately 59 hectares of the property is protected under QEII covenant. This fenced area includes untouched native bush featuring kauri and other native species, forming a sanctuary for native flora and fauna. Conservation work is already done — now it simply needs a new steward.
Adding further value, around 15 hectares were planted in high-UMF mānuka by the current owners in 2016, totalling approximately 16,665 trees. This opens the door for eco-conscious business or honey production.
The remaining 4 to 5 hectares around the outer boundary are in grass and ideal for grazing. Several building sites are available, including one elevated option with sweeping rural views — a prime spot for a future home or eco-retreat.
Two dams support the land, one with spring-fed water, further enhancing the self-sufficiency appeal.
If you've been waiting for the right mix of location, native bush, and opportunity, this is it.
