On the rugged Waikato coast near Raglan, a 14-hectare bare paddock has been transformed into Kokomea, an award-winning off-grid haven. The property features an architect-designed family home and a successful short-term rental business.
The business includes three unique tiny homes, including the original Love Bus, all with their own solar power and water supply. The property also boasts a magnesium pool and wood-fired sauna.
Now for sale with Mark Frost at Bayleys, this is a unique lifestyle and business opportunity.
