Premium volcanic orchard

A rare opportunity to secure 15.4555 hectares (more or less) of premium Maungatapere land, combining a quality commercial avocado orchard, productive grazing land, excellent water security, and an outstanding future house site.

Positioned just minutes from Maungatapere Village and within easy reach of Whangarei, this exceptional property offers the perfect balance of convenience and rural tranquillity. Elevated and north-facing, the property enjoys expansive countryside views and spectacular sunsets, with approximately three hectares of grazing land providing an ideal platform for a future home. This is far more than a standard avocado orchard. Thoughtfully designed as a fully ground-based operation, the orchard has been established to maximise efficiency and minimise running costs, with no hydralada equipment required for harvesting or pruning. Approximately 3,000 mixed-age avocado trees are intensively planted across 14 blocks on fertile volcanic soils, protected by well-established shelter belts designed to create an optimal growing environment. This truly is one of the best orchards I have been involved with, and that is a real credit to the owners.

Blocks 1 to 10 are just over five years old, while Blocks 11 to 14 are approaching three years of age. The orchard is maintained under a comprehensive fertiliser programme and benefits from a fully automated irrigation system, supplied through gravity- and pressure-fed networks with electronic controls. Water security is a standout feature. The property includes a consented bore supplying four 30,000-litre storage tanks situated on the hill, together with an easement granting access to a neighbouring freshwater spring that feeds an additional 25,000-litre tank, primarily used for spraying. Adding further appeal is an established brown rock quarry, available for on-farm use and helping to reduce ongoing operational costs.

Whether you are an established grower seeking to expand, an investor looking for a modern horticultural asset, or a lifestyle buyer wanting to create a dream home in a stunning rural setting, this property offers an exceptional combination of location, fertile soils, water security, infrastructure, and future potential that is increasingly difficult to find. Opportunities of this calibre are seldom available, combining productive horticulture, lifestyle appeal, and long-term potential in one of Northland's most sought-after rural locations.

Plant and machinery available for purchase separately. Purchase price is plus GST (if any).

Practicality has certainly not been overlooked. Three-car garaging, substantial additional shedding and covered parking provide excellent options for vehicles, equipment and hobbies. Solar panels, filtered bore water, double glazing, a glasshouse and vegetable gardens are further features of this well-established lifestyle property.

And while the setting feels wonderfully private, the location keeps everything within easy reach. Horsham Downs School is just minutes away, with Rototuna Junior and Senior High Schools within the school zones, and Rototuna shopping, amenities and expressway connections conveniently close.

With 4.09 hectares in this desirable location, purchasers may also wish to undertake their own independent enquiries into any longer-term opportunities for the land, subject to the relevant planning requirements and approvals.

A substantial family home, beautiful grounds and the space to enjoy a lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find so close to the city.

195 Osborne Road offers more than a place to live — it's a place to bring family together, create lasting memories and enjoy an exceptional lifestyle.

We invite you to experience it for yourself.

Motivated vendor – priced below GV

Now priced at $699,000 — $30,000 below the current Government Valuation, this three-bedroom home offers space, an elevated rural setting and uninterrupted sea views across the Firth of Thames and Coromandel Ranges, with the coast and countryside close at hand.

Life here is about making the most of your surroundings. The Firth of Thames is close by for fishing, walks and time on the water, while Pūkorokoro Miranda is a destination in its own right, with its renowned birdlife and coastal setting. With a local café nearby, Hauraki Plains Golf Course within easy reach and the coastline and countryside surrounding you, this is a location that combines a relaxed way of life with practical connections for work, family and weekends away.

The three-bedroom home offers a practical layout designed for easy everyday living, with comfortable living areas and good separation between the bedrooms and main living spaces. Large windows draw in natural light while framing the surrounding rural outlook, bringing the landscape into the home. It is a straightforward, well-positioned home that provides a solid base for those wanting to enjoy the space and setting this property provides.

So much is within easy reach. Thames is approximately 36.1 kilometres, Pukekohe around 41 kilometres, Bombay approximately 34 kilometres and Pokeno around 30 kilometres. Hamilton is approximately 98 kilometres away (more or less), while Auckland Airport can be reached in around 67 kilometres (more or less) away.

Whether you are looking for your first step into lifestyle living, more room for the family, or a home where weekends can be spent exploring the coast and countryside, now is the time to view this property. The vendors’ plans are taking them in a new direction, creating an ideal time for a buyer to step forward.

The ultimate weekend bolthole

1188E Tinopai Road is the sort of property Auckland buyers dream about finding - 12.4707 hectares (more or less) of quality coastal grazing land, direct shared access to the Kaipara Harbour, and some of Northland's best fishing virtually on your doorstep. All of this sits just around 1 hour 45 minutes from the North Shore, making it realistic as a weekend escape now and a permanent move later.

The land is well set up and immediately usable, with good fencing and troughs servicing the paddocks. There is enough scale here to run stock and enjoy a genuine rural lifestyle, without taking on an overwhelming farming operation. A 1/7 share in a beautiful native bush block adds another dimension to the property, giving you space to explore, unwind and enjoy the birdlife and natural environment that makes this part of the Kaipara so special.

For fishermen and boaties, the location is a real standout. Direct shared water access opens up the Kaipara Harbour and its huge network of channels, bays and fishing grounds. Launch the boat, chase snapper, set the rods, or simply spend the day exploring the harbour before heading back to your own private block. It is the sort of setup that makes Friday afternoon traffic north feel worthwhile.

The vendors have already created a useful base with small sheds and an outdoor kitchen area, while house plans were previously submitted to Council before their own plans changed. This gives incoming buyers a great starting point to create their own coastal home, cabin retreat or future family base, subject to the usual approvals.

For Aucklanders looking for more land, more freedom and a genuine escape from city life, this is a compelling proposition. Use it as a weekend bolthole, run a few animals, or be hands-off and have it grazed by a neighbour. Build when the time is right, or simply secure a quality coastal landholding for the future. Opportunities that combine usable land, harbour access and this level of proximity to Auckland are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
