RETREAT TO THE SERENE
The property is full of magical, mysterious places where you can sit in nature and absorb it through your senses ...
Peaceful, serene and breathtakingly beautiful. And an investment opportunity all rolled into one. The gorgeous property at 361 Kaiikanui Road, Opuawhanga has it all.
This stunning property is truly unique. A special property waiting for new owners to embrace its beauty and make it even greater.
The 162.15 hectare property is in two titles with two road entrances. It features natural bush with impressive stands of natives, good grazing land, spring water throughout and a stunning waterfall.
It has homed Ko¯manawa Retreat, a family collective. One of the four directors Susie Pascoe says the property is a really special place.
Everyone who arrives at the property immediately feels drawn to it and gets a sense of connection to the place.
The property boasts a much loved pre1969 homestead plus five freestanding accommodation cottages, each with their own special outlook. There is a workshop, implement shed, and a stunningly renovated woolshed which can be used for group functions. Ko¯manawa Retreat has incredible AirBnB reviews and there is a real opportunity here to expand on what has already been created.
The current owners have cared for the land, implementing a pest trapping scheme and planting over 10,000 trees, which complement the regenerating native bush. Eighty years of regeneration mean there are well established natives and Kiwi are starting to come back to the bush that runs through the property too.
A beautiful 45 metre waterfall with three tumbles is just one of the attractions, and with a pool deep enough to swim in at its base, it is the perfect place to soak up nature.
You can wander from the sheltered valley floor along the close to three hours of walking tracks cut and maintained by the current owners, through the beautiful serene bush to the top of the property. From the vista at over 300 metres above sea level, look out over the breathtaking panoramic views all the way to the white sands of Helena Bay and beyond.
As well as the onsite accommodation, passive income streams can, and currently are generated through leasing the grazing land to local farmers and partnering with a commercial beekeeper to make honey from the plentiful manuka trees.
Susie says the beauty of the property is its magnificence. “It is a great opportunity to create a high end glamping retreat, and use it as a place to connect to nature in a relaxed way.”
The property is full of magical, mysterious places where you can sit in nature and absorb it through your senses.
The property is only a two and a half hour drive from Auckland, or just over 30 minutes from Whangarei. A short but spectacular 20 minute drive away you will find an almost deserted, stunning east coast beach.
