Set high in the hills above Matapouri, this extraordinary landholding spans just under 670 acres (more or less) across two titles. A true retreat from the world, the property delivers utter privacy, astonishing natural beauty, and one of the most spectacular coastal panoramas you’ll find anywhere in New Zealand.
From sunrise to starlight, the view is mesmerizing. Gaze out over forested ridgelines to the blue expanse of the Pacific, with islands and inlets dotting the horizon. It's hard to imagine a more peaceful or inspiring place to escape the noise of the modern world. The existing two-bedroom, two-bathroom dwelling is perched to maximise the outlook, with wide decks, generous glazing, and lofty ceilings. It’s fully consented (though a CCC was not obtained), offering flexibility to retain as-is, or use as a comfortable base while you plan your dream build. Just a short walk further up the hill lies a truly outstanding building site with breathtaking 360-degree views. Subject to survey and consents, it could be the crown jewel on this remarkable landscape.
Whether you’re looking for a bolt hole, an off-grid family sanctuary, a block to run a small amount of cattle, or a place to create a private eco-retreat, the land delivers. Winding bush tracks traverse regenerating native forest. Clearings offer space to roam, build or explore. Hidden streams sparkle through gullies, glow worms flicker at night, and the birdlife is diverse and thriving. There's even a banana grove adding a subtropical touch.
The property also includes sheds, stock yards, and is currently leased for grazing - generating approx. $18,000 per annum, with fertilising and maintenance handled by the grazier. For absentee owners, it can operate as a hands-off investment, and the cottage may suit short-term letting through platforms such as Airbnb.
Rarely does a landholding of this size, privacy and natural grandeur come to market in this sought-after coastal region. Just 7-8 minutes from Sandy Bay and within easy reach of Matapouri, Tutukaka and the surf coast beyond, this is your chance to secure a generational asset in an elevated and irreplaceable setting.
Purchase price is Plus GST (if any).
