Well-appointed home with hydroponic business
Set on 1.6805 hectares (more or less) in the heart of the Otaika Valley, this tidy lifestyle block offers more than just fresh air and rural views – it’s a genuine income opportunity waiting for the right buyer to step in and take charge.
The 195sqm four-bedroom home is positioned privately, with peaceful rural outlooks and plenty of space for families or those wanting to work from home. Whether you're upsizing, downsizing, or shifting into lifestyle living with a commercial edge, the setup here gives you options.
In the past this was run as a commercial hydroponic lettuce-growing operation, the property has everything in place to carry on or pivot to another high-yield crop. With approx. 40,000 plant spaces already set up and a 6-8 week summer cycle from seed to harvest, the production potential is clear. Dosetrons and pumps are already installed – you just need to bring your crop choice and your vision.
Strawberries would be a smart next step, or talk to us about other hydroponic ventures that suit this scale and growing environment. The infrastructure supports a small team or a hands-on couple wanting to create real income from day one. This is a true home-and-income property with real commercial upside.
The location adds even more value – just five minutes to Maungatapere Village and a little over 10 minutes to central Whangarei. You’re close to schools, services, and key transport routes while still enjoying the space and privacy of rural life.
With proven infrastructure, and a location that makes everything easy, this is a chance to secure both your lifestyle and your financial future. Properties like this are hard to come by. This is the perfect opportunity for a couple wanting to set up a thriving home business in a sector screaming out for growth.
