Thirty Years of Growing Legacy

Just minutes from Paparoa village, this idyllic 43-acre lifestyle block is privately nestled in sheltered hills with its own microclimate, thoughtfully cultivated for self-sufficiency, healthy living and a slower pace of life.

The mature spray-free orchard features 60+ fruit and nut trees across 40+ varieties, including avocado, macadamia, figs, stone fruit, apples, bananas, cherimoya, pear and citrus, delivering a generous year-round harvest. Flower gardens attract birds and bees, while the polyhouse and vegetable beds make fresh picking easy.

The 25 acres of grazing are divided into 20+ well-fenced paddocks, dappled with native and exotic shelter trees. Currently supporting around 20 cattle and a small breeding flock of sheep, the land suits those wanting to raise their own meat, manage stock naturally, or lease for grazing. Multiple dams provide gravity-fed water to troughs throughout, and fencing protects pockets of native bush and seasonal streams.

The warm, rustic barn conversion offers open-plan living, a spacious kitchen, a Homewood stove with wetback, plus electric oven and gas cooktop. Upstairs, two loft-style bedrooms offer comfortable accommodation with excellent storage. Outside, a Mediterranean-style patio shaded by grapevines overlooks gardens, hills, bush and birdlife.

The half-round barn provides generous covered storage for large projects, multiple vehicles, boat, caravan or horse float, with further shelter from two stables, a car port, woodshed and double skyline garage/workshop. Whether your dream is growing your own food, keeping animals or simply enjoying a private country setting, this property offers the foundations for a rewarding self-sufficient lifestyle - just 12 minutes from Pahi boat ramp for great fishing on the Kaipara Harbour.

What is rental yield?

Gross rental yield is a year’s rent as a share of what the property is worth: $575 × 52 weeks = $29,900, against the council valuation of $570,000. It is before rates, insurance, maintenance, management and vacancies, so what an owner keeps (the net yield) is lower.

How we worked this out
EvidencePoints toCounted
From its value what rentals in the area typically yield$574100%

We read this property as a house with 3 bedrooms. Rentals advertised nearby count most when they are close, recent and alike; the more of them there are, the less the area’s bond figures count. Bond figures are rents agreed in new tenancies, from Tenancy Services, placed within the area by how this property’s council valuation compares with similar homes there.

These are computer-generated guides only, not a rental appraisal.

Nobody is tracking this property yet

If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.

Free. Takes about a minute.

We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.
