The property being offered is a stunning 71.4 acre river-view
section of Tauroa, a 750-acre private, gracious estate steeped in historical
significance and named by the original settlers. Tauroa is a thriving organic
farm, nature preserve and equestrian paradise. The estate grows organic truffles,
saffron, flowers, exotic fruits, vegetables, and organic beef and lamb.
The 71.4 acre property would be ideal for a private estate, lodge, farm park
development, winery or equestrian retreat. It has a separate title with approved
subdivision rights for up to five design-approved homes. With a long, single-entry,
quiet frontage on Matangi Road, the landscape consists of gently rolling
hills with spectacular river views. Additional inspiring views of the mountain
ranges and TeMata Peak rise up behind the property, which also includes two
scenic ponds, offering protection for wildlife, and shelter for horses. The
picturesque Tuki-Tuki river lies just across the road, within walking distance,
and provides some of the finest fly-fishing in the region. The echoing snores
of the Slumbering Giant (TeMata) rise up from the Forest Maid (Kohinerakau),
swirling around and surrounding the Old Man (Kauehei). The property adjoins
miles of private riding, hiking and biking trails, and is located close to
the beautiful village of Havelock North, with its superb complement of gourmet
restaurants, popular cafes, and surrounding world-class vineyards, wineries,
golf courses and ocean beaches.
Education is provided by three of the most renowned schools, also located
in Havelock North, which are modeled on English public schools.
Purchase value: $1.9 million New Zealand, plus GST. High Grade Investment.
