This property is under conditional contract until 13 August.
The views from this 149 hectare block are all-embracing and awe-inspiring; they range from the sweeping coastline of 90 Mile Beach to the west, across the extensive Awanui plains with their patchworks of market gardening and farming, to the waters of Doubtless Bay on the east coast, and to Mount Camel on the Houhora Harbour in the north. The property has three distinct elevations: the road frontage is approximately 50 metres above sea level, the second plateau 170 metres, and the high plateau 300 metres. The farm is situated on the main road between Kaitaia and Ahipara, so 90 Mile Beach is only a 6km drive away.
Approximately 80 ha of the property is in pasture of varying quality and contour, from flat and easy to rolling and steep, and has been leased for grazing for the past five years by a local farmer. The grazing land is fenced into numerous paddocks with post-and-wire and some electric fencing, with good natural water and troughs servicing the stock. The balance of land is partly native vegetation cover with some mature plantings of pine and other shelter.
Improvements on the property include a six year old Totalspan barn with basic accommodation, not connected to power, an old dairy shed with single phase power, a lockable half round barn, and a large storage container. An access track runs up through one side of the farm, giving easy access through the farm and legal access to other properties.
The property is well suited to be developed with its own off-the-grid power supply, having excellent sites for wind generation. There is a choice of prime building sites and the land would be ideal for a get-away retreat development, as well as for dry stock farming or diversification into bees and honey or horticulture.
Owned by the same family since the 1940’s, the farm is on the open market for the first time in 70 years, and is ready to be treasured and appreciated by a new owner.
