27 Riddell Road, Kerikeri, Far North, Northland

For over 30 years this treasured land on the fringe of Kerikeri has been nurtured according to organic principles. You are in harmony with nature here. The beautiful 150.5941ha (372 acres) of rolling land lies predominantly to the north, with healthy pastures and year-round growth attributable to the sub-tropical climate. Water and springs rise off the land, rocky streams feed all paddocks and meander through the native bush; the lie of the land lends itself to ponds and small lakes, with wetland areas already established to encourage aquatic life. It is rare for a land block of this size and location to come onto the market. While being in a world of its own, it is only 1.8 km from the shops, restaurants, fresh produce markets and cafes of the Kerikeri village, the growth hub of the Bay of Islands and gateway to beaches, fishing grounds and world class golf courses. The value of the land is further enhanced by bordering onto native bush reserve owned by the Department of Conservation and also the Waitangi Forest. Options for the new owner are endless, and any future development has a head start with existing infrastructure of roading, power, and natural water. For the New Zealand or off-shore environmental investor, the property could continue to be leased out for grazing as at present, with organic fertilising, weed control and general maintenance taken care of while returning a modest income.
