From the listing agent
In the words of Greg Allen-Baines, Bayleys - Warkworth
Find your Journey's End on the Kaipara Coast
Tucked away in the peaceful coastal community of Tapora, this appealing 12.1hectare lifestyle property offers the perfect balance of rural tranquility, productive land, and seaside living. Just 20 minutes from Wellsford and approximately 90 minutes from Auckland, it's a world away from the hustle and bustle, yet close enough to city.
The land here is a standout feature. It is sheltered, flat, well drained, fertile and highly versatile. Whether your vision is horticulture, cropping, expanding on the existing avocado plantings, or grazing livestock, the property provides a wealth of possibilities and the space to make them happen.
This is an ideal opportunity for those seeking a productive lifestyle block, a boutique farming or horticultural venture, or simply a peaceful coastal retreat where weekends can be spent unwinding and enjoying the best of country living.
Infrastructure is already in place, including a substantial garage complete with shower and toilet facilities, powered by solar energy. Three large implement and vehicle sheds provide excellent storage and workspace for machinery, equipment, boats, or recreational vehicles. The hard work has been done, now it's time to bring your own ideas and create the lifestyle you've always imagined.
Adding to the property's appeal is the stunning Birds Beach, just two minutes down the road. Spend your days fishing, swimming, beachcombing or enjoying spectacular Kaipara Harbour sunsets. And for those who enjoy a round of golf, the locally renowned Tapora Golf Course, considered world-famous by the locals, it is always keen to welcome new members.
If you've been searching for a property that combines productive land, established infrastructure, coastal proximity and genuine peace and quiet, then your journey may well end here.
Journey's End, Tapora, where rural living meets the coast.
