Description

Rangiora Eco Village is a 120 hectare sustainable coastal development with stunning views over the Hokianga Harbour, in the sub-tropical region of Northland. It is located only 4kms from the historic village and artists haven of Kohukohu in New Zealand.

Our aim is for Rangiora Eco Village to be a forerunner in a new wave of eco building that is truly ground breaking in innovation and features. Being a part of Rangiora is more than just buying a piece of land on the waterfront or a view. It is an opportunity to create your own slice of paradise and be part of an environmentally conscious and sustainable community.

Rangiora Eco Village is the most affordable coastal development in New Zealand - land-only and house and land packages are currently selling.

All the homes at Rangiora will be built sustainably. Whether buying a land-only or house and land package, all residents must commit to using eco-technologies and healthy non-toxic materials.

Rangiora Eco Village will not be connected to the national grid. Instead, solar plus wind generation with battery storage and gas back-up for heating will mean that all the houses will be carbon neutral from day one. Water supply, water heating and waste water systems have been designed to be healthy and run freely at almost zero cost.

Anyone buying land or a house and land package at Rangiora can be safe in the knowledge that they and their like-minded neighbours are meeting the needs of today without compromising the needs of future generations.

Where else can you buy a block of land and also own part of a 73 hectare communal native bush park, featuring over 80 species of indigenous plant and 22 indigenous bird species?

The large land blocks for sale range from 1 to 30 acres in size and will be interspersed with over 70 hectares of communally owned native bush, walkways, ponds, large flat grassed areas, spring-fed creeks, wetlands and picnic spots.

The developers at Rangiora Eco Village are investing in a comprehensive assisted native bush regeneration scheme and have commissioned environmentally focussed landscaping architects to sensitively design walkways, picnic spots and swimming holes amongst the native areas.

As a landowner at Rangiora, you can be a part of this regeneration scheme and will communally own these native bush park areas. With the specially designed walkways you will be able to enjoy not only looking at this native paradise but also have easy access to bush and wildlife areas.

Rangiora is only 4kms from the historic village of Kohukohu. Previously a prosperous timber trade town, it is now well known for its laid back lifestyle and as a haven for artists and alternative lifestylers. Across the waterways, accessed by a scenic 15 minute ferry ride, it overlooks the historic town of Rawene, New Zealand’s 3rd oldest European settlement with its waterfront galleries and craft shops.

Rangiora is a true sanctuary, away from the hustle and bustle of city life but still accessible to high speed internet access – and great coffee. Only one hour away from the maritime playground of the Bay of Islands and 4 hours drive from Auckland.

The developers at Rangiora would also like to encourage alternative health practitioners and artists to live in this unique and sensitive new community and are donating land to build a dedicated studio for local artists.
