65 Curtis Road, Rawene – House, Horse & Fish

2 Bedrooms + Large Sleepout | 1 Bathroom | 1.1 Hectares of Land | Private Riverside Setting

*** We have several other spectacular properties as well. One is a holiday Airbnb fully furnished house in Karikari Peninsula with $50K of gross income in last year. Another is a lovely house 10 minutes from Tane Mahuta (NZ's largest Kauri tree) and only a few minutes from Waimamaku Beach and Opononi. And the other is a bare block of land in Whangarei. The zoning for the land allows for 11 primary residential dwellings***

But enough of the other properties. This listing for Rawene is as follows:

Tucked away near the end of a quiet country road, this unique lifestyle property offers the rare combination of land for a horse, native bush and birdlife, and your own riverside wharf where you can launch a dinghy or kayak straight out into the Hokianga Harbour.

Set on approximately 1.1 hectares (2.7 acres), the property blends open grassy paddocks with lush native trees and a tranquil wetland area alive with bird song. It truly feels like your own private nature retreat – almost like living in a little jungle.

The two-storey home features:

Two bedrooms upstairs, one with its own private deck overlooking the paddocks and river.

Open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge downstairs, opening to a generous deck – perfect for BBQs or relaxing with the sound of the water and native birds.

Wood burner and heat pump – enjoy warmth in winter and cooling in summer.

Bathroom with bath, separate shower, and toilet.

A large detached sleepout ideal as a third bedroom, office, or studio.

The property also includes:

A small wharf and jetty on the river – you can fish from your backyard or explore the harbour by boat.

Fenced paddock space for a horse or a few animals.

Ample flat grass area for gardens or play.

Native bush backdrop providing privacy and shade.

This is an exceptional opportunity for those who love the outdoors – ride, paddle, fish, or grow your own fruit all from your own property. Just a few minutes from Rawene township and the Hokianga ferry, yet a world away in peace and serenity.
