From the listing agent
In the words of Lynette Matthews, Inspire Real Estate
Dream of escaping the hustle and bustle of city living? Make that dream your reality.
Escape to the countryside with this 2,348 sqm (approximately half-acre) section in the welcoming rural community of Pakotai. Complete with a solid 35 sqm (more or less) cabin, this property enjoys peaceful views across native bush and rolling farmland to the stunning mountain ranges. With a small cluster of neighbours nearby, the setting offers a wonderful old-fashioned community feel.
Adding to the appeal, the property already has a large water tank and pump, along with two garden sheds providing extra storage.
The 10 x 3m transportable Tiny Home, offered on an "as is, where is" basis, is not included in the sale of the property at the advertised price of $190,000. However, its purchase can be negotiated separately with the owner, or an arrangement may be negotiated for the Tiny Home to be included as part of the overall property sale.
The section is mostly fenced with wire and batten fencing and a steel farm gate entrance off Opouteke Road. It has a single-phase power supply (32A extra light) located at the front boundary.
Centrally located, the property is approximately; 40-45kms to Whangarei, Kaikohe, and Dargaville.
With no covenants in place the possibilities are endless here, so whether you're wanting to reduce the mortgage, seeking a peaceful country escape, or wanting to live with greater self-sufficiency in today's uncertain times, this property could be just what you're looking for.

Distances are from the parcel centroid to Topo 1:50k features (LINZ); site aspect is approximate, from the 1m LiDAR contours. Road frontage is a proxy — centreline intersection with parcel boundary, not a legal access measure. Confirm setbacks with a district-plan check before purchase.
