3589A Horeke Road, Taheke, Kaikohe Rd3, Far North, Northland

If you have been looking for a nature wonderland, this unique property is worth checking out.

The 3.6707ha (more or less) is accessed by a right of way from a sealed road fringed with large trees and is hidden amongst a variety of mature exotic and native tree plantings.

The flat volcanic lava flow land with occasional wetland areas creates a special microclimate with so much potential to carve out different spaces. Over the years, the current owners have had various gardens, viewing platforms, and walking trails. Their family have had many a happy holiday here, with enough to keep all age groups amused for hours on end.

The property is private and off-grid. The buildings are consented as sheds and storage but have been converted to accommodation. Access is via State Highway 12 and is less than a 20-minute drive (approximately) to Kaikohe township or 25 minutes to Rawene (approximately) and the Hokianga Harbour.

Birds which the owner tells us he has personally seen over the 30 years that he has owned the property are:

Bittern, Fernbird, Grey Duck, Miromiro, Tui, Piwakawaka, Silvereye, Grey Warbler, White-faced Heron, Black Shag, Morepork, Pukeko, Kahu, Spur-winged Plover, Blackbird, Song Thrush, Californian & Brown Quail, Shining Cuckoo, Yellow Hammer, Sparrow, Chaffinch, Turkey, Pheasant, Mallard and Paradise ducks, Rosella, Starling, Mynah and Magpie.

Poor health has limited the amount of time that the owners spend here, and they've decided it's now time for someone else to enjoy the space and carve out their family memories.
