Lifestyle, residential and commercial - all in one

Held in the same family since 1936 and operating as a farm homestead for over 75 years, this is a rare opportunity to secure a well-established property combining rural lifestyle living, a spacious family home and consented commercial infrastructure. Set on 1.2217ha of flat, fertile land just 7km from Whakatane CBD, the property offers privacy, space and excellent access while remaining close to town. The iconic two storey Red Barn is a landmark feature and a genuine point of difference. Formerly a popular cafe, it is a consented commercial space with approved entrance, large all weather parking and a council approved water management system. Together with the former farm implement shed and additional open land, the site offers flexibility for a wide range of business or income generating opportunities, including specialist retail, storage, contracting, creative or professional uses, event space or the option to continue as a destination cafe. The well-maintained homestead, established in 1950 and renovated and extended over time, was previously used as a farm stay hosting international visitors. It offers comfortable open-plan family living with multiple living areas, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, an office and two sunrooms. Three car garaging with workshop space, established gardens and mature trees complete a relaxed indoor-outdoor lifestyle in a private, sheltered setting. • 1.2217ha of flat, fertile land with sandy loam soils • Landmark two storey Red Barn with commercial infrastructure • Spacious, flexible homestead suited to family or home based business • Former implement shed and space for additional buildings (subject to consent) • Excellent access, generous parking and practical shedding • Only 7km to Whakatane CBD • Property to be sold + GST, if any On the market for the first time in 90 years, this property offers lifestyle, infrastructure and genuine scope to add value - practical opportunities of this scale and versatility are seldom available.
