North River - Waipu, Northland

WAIPU - North River - BRB10026

Grazing, bush, living quarters, river and trout - what more could you want?

88ha of great land with magnificant native bush and superb river complete with trout. Various outbuildings and barns. Excellent water supply from the river. Property is fenced in to 25 paddocks. The property's back doorstep is another 1000ha of native bush! Currently running horse trek tours.

This 88 hectare property is absolutely unique as it borders the wild and beautiful North River. This remote river rises in the limestone country that is a common feature of inland Waipu as seen in the stunning Waipu Caves. It is the limestone that produces the clear and cold water that makes for perfect trout habitat. So the North River is one of just a handful of Northland Rivers that are cool enough to support a trout population.

This clean and prestine waterway wends its way through the dense native forest of the upper reaches, flowing through a primeval valley that looks like a setting from the Lord of the Rings. It emerges from the bush on to the fertile river flats of this farm.

Imagine wandering down to the bush-clad banks of this wonderful waterway around dusk, with trout rod in hand. Standing behind a mature totara tree you carefully examine the quietly chuckling waters. And just there, in the silver mirror of the setting sun, a snout appears, sending ripples through the pool.

Whether you are seeking a lifestyle property, a development opportunity or just a rustic hideaway, this property can offer it. But it won't last long, so contact Martin Albrecht to view it soon.
