Privately tucked away just minutes from Whangarei and Maungatapere Village, this is far more than a lifestyle property – it’s an experience.
Known as Land of the Lotus, this extraordinary 4.8ha estate has been transformed into a lush tropical sanctuary where privacy, beauty and possibility exist in complete harmony. Lotus ponds, native bush alive with birdlife, banana groves, fruit forest, water gardens and winding pathways create a setting unlike anything else on the market.
At the heart of the property is a beautifully renovated and extended home, blending timeless craftsmanship with modern comfort. Original rimu doors remain as a nod to the home’s heritage, while polished concrete floors, double glazing and contemporary finishes deliver warmth, style and effortless functionality.
Designed for flexible family living and entertaining alike, the home offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms, an office nook and generous living spaces that flow seamlessly outdoors. The master suite is a private retreat, complete with walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and outdoor shower immersed in nature. Implement sheds, large garaging, EV rapid charging and practical infrastructure make this property as functional as it is beautiful.
Additional accommodation includes a fully self-contained sleepout with kitchenette and bathroom, plus a separate cabin currently used for woofers, ideal for guests, extended family, creative spaces or supplementary income.
While first and foremost an exceptional lifestyle property, Land of the Lotus also presents optional income opportunities through its established boutique horticultural and visitor operation. Plant and banana sales, garden tours and niche tourism appeal are already in place, with the vendor open to supporting a smooth transition for buyers wishing to continue or expand the venture.
Equally, the commercial side can be simplified, adapted or left behind entirely, allowing the next owner to shape the property around their own vision, whether that’s eco-retreats, multi-generational living, creative pursuits, or simply enjoying an extraordinary private haven.
Rarely does a property combine lifestyle, scale, beauty and future potential so effortlessly.
