From the listing agent
In the words of Alan Fox, Marr Realty
Vendor says sell this property! All reasonable offers considered!
With a Vendor that is ready to meet the market this is a great opportunity to acquire a stunning property at well below the latest Capital Valuation of $605,000 (1/9/2025).
Properties with this combination of expansive sea views, native bush, seclusion and privacy are becoming a rare jewel.
Set on approximately 2.58 hectares (6.3 acres) of native bush overlooking glorious Doubtless Bay, the outlook is exceptional. From the property you can take in the ever-changing vista of Doubtless Bay over to Karikari Peninsula, the coastline towards Berghan Point and the open sea beyond, then stretching as far as the eye can see towards the top of the country and out towards the west coast. It is a view that gives this property a real sense of awe.
Access is via a private road, providing privacy, peace and security. Surrounded by established bush, the property feels wonderfully secluded while still being just 15 minutes to the historic harbour town of Mangonui, a thriving coastal community with everything you need. Supermarkets, Hardware and building supplies, doctor, dentist, schools, pubs and cafes.
There is another very special aspect to this property. For more than 30 years, the owner and surrounding landowners have worked together on an ongoing predator eradication programme, helping to create a safe habitat for native wildlife. As a result, kiwi are now found in abundance throughout the property and surrounding area, adding something truly unique to this beautiful natural environment.
The Whakaangi Landcare Trust was established for this purpose in 2004 and continues to operate with on going predator control programs. The trust covers a block of about 2,501 hectares across the peninsula - roughly 25 square kilometres of ridge, gully and coastal forest. Their website, www.whakaangi.co.nz, has comprehensive information and details.
Wake to birdsong, and spend your day immersed in the tranquility of the bush with the backdrop of the magnificent view.
With 2.58 hectares to work with, there is plenty of scope to create a permanent home, private retreat or special holiday escape - all while enjoying the privacy and spectacular outlook that makes this property so appealing.
Doubtless Bay is at the gateway to the Far North and is a pristine sea lovers and beach goers paradise.
It is just 60 minutes south to the Bay of Islands airport in Kerikeri and 30 minutes north to Kaitaia.
Contact me today and grab a very special piece of the Far North, with a view, setting and lifestyle that is the envy of the world and most can only dream of.
