Located within 14 kilometres of Opotiki town, the convenience of the CBD is on your doorstep and yet the property offers a sense of elevated, remote wilderness.

A recently formed motocross track has been pushed in and with the scale the property offers, there are lots of options for horse trekking. A flat area has been developed beside one of the freshwater streams for family and friends to camp and potentially would make a base to build a rustic off grid cabin that will further enhance the mystic this magic property beholds. This farm is well located to both Opotiki and Whakatane, 127km from Tauranga CBD via SH 2, and 129kms from Rotorua CBD via SH 30 and SH 2. It's not too far if you're town or city based and looking for a weekend bolt hole or ports and sawmills if forestry is a consideration. For Sale by Tender (unless sold prior) Plus GST (if any)
