Lot 4/303 Waiaua Road, Hihi, Far North, Northland

Set amongst hundreds of hectares of pristine native bush with rare direct access to a secluded stretch of pristine coastline, this exceptional 12.68-hectare sanctuary rises above the shimmering expanse of Doubtless Bay. From your own private ridgeline, look out across the water to the Karikari Peninsula and all the way to Cape Reinga, while the surrounding forest—alive with kiwi and native birds—wraps you in a level of privacy, beauty and natural richness seldom found, even in New Zealand.

For those drawn to the water, this north facing property offers something truly extraordinary: direct coastal access through native bush leading to private rocky outcrops perfect for fishing and a secluded pebble beach to swim from or launch a Kayak. Cast a line into deep, immaculate water and catch snapper and kingfish straight from the rocks—a privilege normally reserved for remote islands and tightly held coastal headlands. With dolphins, whales and orca often sweeping through the bay, the coastline here is alive with wonder.

Bordered by a DOC reserve and designated a Significant Natural Area, this land is home to the northernmost population of Brown Kiwi—its thriving biodiversity the result of decades of predator control by the owner and neighbouring landholders. Wander through mature native forest, discover stands of majestic 300-year-old Kauri, and immerse yourself in an environment where birdsong replaces noise, and the rhythm of the sea anchors each day.

With no covenants limiting how you build, you have complete freedom to create a residence that reflects your vision and embraces the landscape. Meanwhile, covenants protecting the bush and restricting domestic pets ensure that the area’s natural beauty and flourishing birdlife will be safeguarded for future generations.

Despite its remarkable seclusion, this retreat remains conveniently close to Mangonui and the vibrant Doubtless Bay region. In the historic village you’ll find boutique shops, cafés, character pubs and restaurants, along with excellent schools, golden pohutukawa-lined beaches, and world-class boating and fishing—all just 20 minutes away around the sparkling Mangonui Harbour. Located in the Winterless Far North, the temperate climate encourages outdoor living and year-round enjoyment of both land and sea. The Bay of Islands airport in Kerikeri—only a 60-minute scenic drive—provides multiple daily flights to Auckland, offering effortless access while preserving your total privacy.

Opportunities of this caliber are exceptionally rare.
