Viento del Bosque - Wind of the Forest. A name that whispers peace, solitude, and connection to nature and a perfect introduction to this special slice of Northland.

Welcome to 46 Crossett Road, 4.59 hectares of lifestyle land with a twist. Tucked away in a private, sun-drenched pocket just 15 kms from Te Kamo, this is not your typical bare block. With minimal covenants, an inspiring blend of native bush and easy-care clearings, and an unconsented off grid studio already in place, this is land with soul - and ready for you to enjoy straight away.

Whether you're dreaming of building, land banking, or simply slipping off-grid, this property offers complete flexibility. The current owner has poured creativity, love, and intention into every detail - from the handcrafted sculptures dotted through, to the carefully chosen plantings and cultural touches that blend Japanese, Kiwi, and Pasifika design.

What you'll find here:

• 4.59 ha of mostly native bush with lawn - low-maintenance but full of life
• Minimal covenants - build now, land bank, or just enjoy as a private retreat
• A charming unconsented off grid cabin style studio with high ceilings, abundant natural light, and a loft space for sleeping or working
• A separate utility building with califont powered bath and shower nestled at the forest edge
• Self-sustaining gardens with tropical fruit trees, easy care lawns, and native plantings
• Solar system and generator, lawn mower, sculptures, furnishings - everything stays!
• Gorgeous views from the hilltop, all day sun even in winter

This is a place of memorable moments - campfires under the stars, bird life at your doorstep, peaceful mornings and moonlit nights. It's a rare find for those who want the easy care of 1-2 acres, but with the guaranteed outlook, space, and seclusion only a larger lifestyle property can provide.

You'll love the location too - just minutes to Matarau School, and a short drive to two fantastic local cafes: The Horny Goat in Ruatangata and The Office Cafe in Maungatapere. The neighbourhood is known for its friendly, laid back vibe, and horse riding is a common sight along the quiet rural roads.

Originally attracted by the forest and all day sun, the current owner has now started a new chapter overseas - leaving behind a property rich in soul, possibility and natural beauty.

If you're searching for land with vision and a creative twist, this is your invitation.

Contact Rae Ocean and Sandie Kirkman to view or find out more about this one of a kind lifestyle retreat.
