This property offers 33 hectares of land, with some protected bush and ancient native forest areas, 2 fenced paddocks, multiple potential building sites, fresh water springs and a river as a boundary. 

​

A Boutique non permanent Tiny Home is located on the prime building site and is fitted out to a high standard. Currently used for short term holiday rentals, serving the NZ and International tourism market. 

 

On the Ridgeline, the views are breathtaking, with 360 views through the dome valley, out over Wellsford, and East out to Te Aria, Whangarei Heads, The Hen and Chicks Islands and the Poor Knights.

 

With beautiful sunrises and exceptional sunsets, the main potential building site offers what could be the best location and views in Rodney. 

 

The property is in an exceptional location, only 10 mins to Wellsford, 20 mins to Warkworth and Matakana, 25 to Omaha or Te Arai beaches, but when you’re at the property, you may as well be a million miles from anywhere, with no neighbours within 2km and non visible from anywhere on the property. 

Completely surrounded by protected land, this section can never be built out, so your privacy for the future is ensured to remain as it is now. 

 

The property terrain consists of high ground running along a Ridgeline, which then descends down in to the valley beneath, where old stands of protected native forest and bush wait to be discovered, as well as a river that runs along a boundary providing a swimming location in summer, with clean water that comes from the hills upstream where there is no farming or animal run off.  

 

There are large fenced clearings on the property that could be used to graze animals, plant orchards or farm vegetables. 

 

Access to the property is via a paper road that has recently been completely upgraded, with new drainage, culverts and limestone and blue rock mix.

 

From the main house site, metaled tracks give all year, all weather access to the rest of the property. 

 

There is a large metaled pad area ready for the erection of a barn or other structure. 

Also other sections of the property have been levelled out in preparation for building. 

​

The perceived remoteness and unique flora and fauna found at this property, combined with the areas of unprotected land, could make this an ideal location to expand on the existing vacation rentals business, with up to 6 potential sites for cabins or dwellings for tourists to take retreats to. 

​

Access to all of the Dome Valley forest tracks are directly from the properties driveway, so keen walkers or mountain bikers can set off from the property and explore the vast local forestry blocks and even get to Matakana if you’re feeling adventurous. 

​

Additional value may be able to be extracted from the land via the Transferable Title process. There is an ecologists report already in place to be able to release 2 transferable titles from the block, should you want to plant out and protect via covenant the remainder of the unprotected land (this excludes the large paddocks), quotes for planting are available in the documents page of this website. These titles could then be applied to the block itself for sub-division, or sold to other developers needing them. 

​

An existing beautiful and stylish tiny home off grid dwelling is already on the property, giving 2 bedrooms or 1 bed and 1 office space, bathroom with shower over bath and washing machine, full kitchen and open plan lounge and dining, with gas cooking and califont hot water. 

 

Power is via a 2 year old solar power setup that provides ample power all year round for all appliances.
Water is captured from the roof of the carport attached to a 40ft container and a 15,000 litre water tank plumbed in to the house. 

​

The existing non permanent tiny home has been refurbished to a stylish modern standard and is comfortable all year round and is located on the prime building site, but depending on your vision, you may wish to relocate it to somewhere else on the property so that you can build your dream home on the prime site and take in all of the views.

​

In addition, to serve the vacation rental market, an outdoor bathing area has been built, with shower and full outdoor bath, so that guests can fully relax and take in the views from the property. 

Having the feeling of being so remote and private, whilst still so close to nearby towns and beaches, with the unsurpassed views, makes this offering totally unique and a once in a lifetime opportunity. Whether you're looking to build on the existing rental business, live in the property as is, or plan to build a new house, Wild Ridge is ready for you to make it yours.
