Description
6242 State Highway 5, Tarawera offers a rare opportunity to breathe new life into the former Ministry of Works Camp - a site steeped in history and brimming with potential.
The current owners began early demolition and refurbishment, but unforeseen health circumstances paused progress. Now, this blank canvas is ready for a visionary buyer to create something truly special. Imagine the possibilities: *A Christian retreat for reflection and renewal. *A hunting or outdoor adventure lodge for thrill-seekers. *A classic Kiwi holiday camp for families and groups. With size, seclusion, and stunning natural surroundings, this property is perfectly positioned to become a unique destination. Located in the tranquil Tarawera region, it offers an escape from the everyday hustle while remaining accessible - just under an hour from Napier and Taupo.
Why This Site Stands Out *No recent commercial operation means a clean slate for your vision. *Existing units and facility blocks ready for refurbishment. *Potential to develop powered sites for campervans traveling the busy SH5 route. *Space to add new accommodation units as demand grows. *Opportunity to enhance the natural woodland setting with hot tubs, outdoor recreation areas, or eco-friendly features. This is more than a property - it's a chance to create a destination that reflects your passion and purpose. If you're ready to bring energy, imagination, and innovation to Tarawera, the next chapter starts here. Don't wait - opportunities like this are rare.
