Farm it now. Unlock the coast later.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a highly viable beef operation while also holding a significant piece of coastal Northland with genuine future upside. The farm is in two titles, encompassing 570 and 698 Whananaki South Road. Well established and productive, there is approximately 75% effective grazing with the balance in native bush. It carries 450 mixed-age cattle taken through to R2, including 220 breeding cows. Pasture is predominantly rye, clover and kikuyu, supported by regular oversowing, while good flats provide the opportunity for silage production.
Water is a major strength, with bore supply plus a fresh flowing stream that has never run dry, solar pumped through to troughs. Boundary fencing is five-wire and batten with four-wire electric internally, and the existing infrastructure includes cattle yards converted from the former cowshed, a near-new three-bay shed, woolshed, half-round barn and additional storage. Two three-bedroom homes, both Healthy Homes compliant, provide flexibility for owners, staff, extended family or rental income.
What sets this property apart is what sits beyond the farming operation. Elevated areas of the farm enjoy stunning coastal views, while one of Northland's best beaches is only a few short minutes away. The scale, setting and proximity to the coast create significant scope to investigate subdivision now or simply continue farming and landbank for the future, subject to council approval. There is also potential to position a couple of cabins around the property for short-stay accommodation, making the most of the views and natural environment.
Large coastal landholdings with a genuine farming business underneath them are increasingly difficult to replicate. Here, you can buy a productive asset that works from day one, while retaining the possibility of unlocking considerably more value from the land over time. Whether the plan is farming, subdivision, long-term landbanking, or a combination of all three, this farm gives you options that few properties can offer.
