The house and lawn is well fenced, with a container for extra storage. Behind the house there is a large paddock for grazing if you wish, a dam to watch the ducks and bird life at play and while the overall land area is large, it has been kept low maintenance and the rugged contour of the land between the house and beach would be ideally continue to be planted in natives to remain easily managed. There is a residents only beach road as well as a second 4WD track to access the stunning beach which sits between Mangakuri and Pourerere, with fishing, diving, swimming and stunning coastline literally at your doorstep. This could be the most idyllic permanent home or restful retreat located within easy commute of Waipawa and Havelock North - yet you will feel a million miles away from it all. This property offers supreme privacy within Netherton Farm Park which is a gated community with a small number of residents and will be sorely missed by its current owners who have treasured their time here.
