9 Nikau Heights, Karamea, Buller

Tucked into the laid-back enclave of Little Wanganui sits a generous 1,141 m2 slice of possibility just waiting to be rediscovered. This sun-soaked section comes with the modern luxuries of power, reticulated water, and sewage services conveniently waiting at the boundary - all poised and ready for connection when inspiration strikes. The property boasts a private access driveway, keeping you discreetly tucked away from the road and offering peace, privacy, and the soothing soundtrack of nature at its finest. Location? Absolute cracker. You're moments from river and beach adventures, and within easy striking distance of fishing, seasonal whitebaiting, surfing, SUP, kayaking, hunting, tramping, caving, mountain biking, and birdwatching. Basically, if it involves fresh air, adrenaline, or telling exaggerated stories afterwards, you’re in the right place. Even better, the legendary Little Wanganui Hotel is nearby - ideal for refreshments, tall tales, and the occasional celebratory meal when you’ve successfully relocated your property boundaries. Practicalities are covered too. The section sits on the school bus route and enjoys rural mail delivery, making it perfectly suited for a family bach, holiday hideaway, retreat, or future dream home, where “just popping out for a fish” may realistically take all weekend. However, the current owners haven’t visited the property for decades, and nature has enthusiastically stepped in as caretaker. The result? A lush, dense, jungle-like wonderland concealing an old caravan and two ancient portaloos - think less “neglected section” and more “long-lost civilisation awaiting rediscovery.” It’s part adventure, part restoration project, and entirely a chance to create something special from a property with stories to tell and status to reclaim. If you’ve ever fancied yourself as part homeowner, part explorer, and part visionary, this could be your moment. Bring your imagination, your sense of humour, a pith helmet and definitely, a machete. Intrepid explorers, please call Paul for a treasure map and information on how to rediscover this hidden gem.
