From the listing agent
In the words of Leonie Mateer, One Agency - Far North
Imagine building your dream coastal retreat overlooking the sparkling waters of Oyster Bay and Whangaroa Harbour, with much of the hard work already done!
Welcome to Bushhaven, an elevated 4,138m² (approximately one acre) lifestyle property offering magnificent harbour views, established gardens and substantial off-grid infrastructure already in place.
Unlike a bare section, Bushhaven offers valuable improvements that provide a head start on your future plans.
PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS:
Spectacular views across Oyster Bay and Whangaroa Harbour
Bio-cycle wastewater treatment system with approved building consent (CCC currently being obtained)
Solar power system with battery storage and dedicated control shed
Five external power outlets for flexible recreational use
Two large water storage tanks
Level, gravelled building platform for your future home
Established landscaped gardens and native bush backdrop
Easy-access gravelled driveway with generous parking and turning space for boats, caravans and motorhomes
The owners have invested considerable time and effort into developing the infrastructure and landscaping, creating an exciting opportunity to embrace an independent, off-grid coastal lifestyle.
A spacious, one-owner fifth-wheel caravan is available to purchase separately, providing an additional option for enjoying the property, subject to Council requirements.
LOCATION:
Just 4 minutes to Whangaroa Marina, 7 minutes to beautiful Tauranga Bay Beach, 8 minutes to historic Kaeo and approximately 35 minutes to Kerikeri.
Whether you're planning a permanent coastal home or a peaceful weekend retreat, Bushhaven offers a remarkable setting with the infrastructure already in place.
Asking Price: $395,000

Site aspect

Orientation we design around — see the contours on the aerial
Too far away to matter: nearest powerline 285 m.
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.
