Forever forest

Nestled in the tranquil hills above Karamea, this special bush block offers a rare opportunity to embrace the beauty of New Zealand's natural landscape while enjoying the convenience of nearby township amenities. This expansive 2.58-hectare forest is elevated at approximately 50 metres, providing breathtaking views over Karamea, the river mouth, and the vast expanse of the Tasman Sea. A true retreat from the modern world, this off-grid property is a sanctuary of fresh country air, birdsong, and uninterrupted sunshine. A picturesque creek meanders diagonally through the land, enhancing the peaceful atmosphere and offering a natural water feature that adds to the charm of the setting. About half the property features a diverse flora, including rimu, kamahi, kahikatea, lancewood, beech, and punga. The other half was previously cleared and is covered in regenerating scrub and native bush. This area could be easily re-cleared again to create a spacious and private building site that compliments the surrounding landscape. The secluded property is easily accessible via a well-formed gravel road just off tar-sealed access to the Sunset Heights development, ensuring a convenient five-minute drive to the Karamea township. Here, all essential services and amenities, including shops, cafes, schools, and medical facilities, offer the perfect balance between rural living and modern convenience. Situated on the rural delivery postal network and the school bus route, the property ensures connectivity for families and those seeking a lifestyle change without sacrificing accessibility. With no immediate neighbours, this is an ideal setting for those looking to build a home immersed in the beauty of the New Zealand bush. The land is free from flood, coastal erosion, or tsunami risks, providing peace of mind for future development. Whether you envision an eco-friendly retreat, a self-sufficient homestead, or a private escape from the world, this remarkable land offers limitless potential in one of New Zealand's most picturesque and unspoilt regions. Please call Paul for additional information and to arrange an inspection of this fine piece of New Zealand nature.
