300 King Road, Mangawhai

At $385,000, Share 15 at Marunui is one of the best-value ways into Northland’s native forest you’ll find. You get a five-bedroom, two-bathroom home inside 420 hectares of QEII-covenanted bush, for less than many sections in Mangawhai. The home is ready and waiting. It already has its Code of Compliance Certificate, so you can finish things off at your own pace. All this place needs now is new owners to bring it new life. A spacious split-level home with five bedrooms and two bathrooms, designed for off-grid living. It sits on your own private dwelling site deep in the native bush at 300 King Road. There’s room for family, guests, a home office or a creative studio, without a neighbour in sight. Kiwi call at night, kererū glide through the canopy, and walking tracks lead to waterfalls through regenerating forest. It’s quiet, private and very easy to fall for. Photos only go so far, so come and walk it with us. How ownership works. You buy a shareholding in Marunui Conservation Ltd, which owns the land. There are 18 shares in total, and each comes with its own dwelling site. Shareholders have full use of their home plus shared access to the forest’s tracks and facilities, which are reserved for shareholders and their guests. The community is small and settled, a mix of permanent residents and weekenders, and most helps with kiwi protection, track care and conservation work. Because of the shareholding structure, standard bank lending is unlikely to be available. The vendors are open to discussing vendor finance, so talk to us early and we’ll help you work through the options. At this price, Share 15 won’t be on the market long.
