Here's the ultimate kiwi dream, a place in the country with a piece of everything. Awesome grazing, great water, easy access building options in a great location. With little imagination you could live a pure self sustainable lifestyle while staying connected to the outside world.
Positioned within walking distance to both the World Champion Hukerenui School and the Mid Northern Rugby Club, this is the ultimate free range lifestyle for growing families. There are no defined building platforms or building covenants so you choose your future. The property has good road frontage with a number of easy access building platforms that are north facing, sheltered and incredibly private.
19.3 ha of easy rolling tractor country that will provide more than enough room to roam! The grazing will provide various options, be it contract grazing, beef fattening or calf rearing. It's large enough to provide a real supplementary income and small enough to manage
For the family that likes room to play you will find no better back yard. With an easy rolling contour and multiple dams it's picturesque as well as providing space for motorbikes and horse adventure.
The main dam previously was the primary water supply for the neighbouring dairy farm. There are three additional supplementary dams and a couple of patches of cut over pine will provide an ideal native regeneration project. As a lifestyle block it is a blank canvas for you to design.
Located in the Hukerenui district just 30 km to Whangarei, 14 km to Hikurangi, 27 km to the coast. Property in the wider Hikurangi region is growing in demand and popularity. Driven by the proximity to the coast, the service town of the Hikurangi Village and its easy access to Whangarei and the Bay of Islands.
