A century ago, much of this farm was covered in orchards tended to by returning WWI soldiers and their families. For twenty years, produce from the ‘Tinopai Fruitlands’ was transported as far afield as Europe and North America. Until a mysterious shipwreck put an end to it all and the cows came calling. But the farmer wants to do a bit less farming and a bit more fishing these days and so this land with its fascinating past, lovely sea views and some remaining apple and pear trees, is now for sale. Lot 7 is approx 8.0937 ha (19.999 acres approx) of easy contour land with a 3 bedroom open plan living home looking down on the water.

List price is just $650,000.

Tinopai, a quiet little seaside settlement with a primary school and fabulous wharf on the Kaipara Harbour is approx. 32 Km from Ruawai, 60Kms to Dargaville and 40 minutes to Maungaturoto, all with rural amenities, cafes, shops and high schools.

Farm Open Days: Saturday 18th December 2021, 10am – 1pm —Cancelled—
