20 Glenfern Road
GREAT BARRIER ISLAND

On offer is the unique proposition to purchase Glenfern Sanctuary which is situated in the idyllic Hauraki Gulf on Great Barrier Island.

This 82ha property has been developed into a pest and rodent free bird sanctuary with a portion of grazable land. A 2km pest fence has been constructed along the boundary enclosing the property with the Kotuku Peninsular. Extensive work has been undertaken to maintain a pest free environment on the property, along with the reintroduction and intensive breeding programme of the North Island Robin. The sanctuary operates education walks through the property for school children in the area and visitors to the island.

Accommodation on the property consists of the original homestead which was built in the early 1900’s and has been modified over the years to accommodate family, friends and guests. Additionaly, there are two cottages on the property; one currently occupied by the current caretakers and the other, Seaview Cottage, operates as rentable holiday stay.  

Sitting on the edge of the Fitzroy Harbour, the property includes its own jetty, including a boat shed and two deep water moorings.  Access by boat for friends and family is a popular choice especially in the summer months. Across the harbour and in easy walking distance is the Port Fitzroy general store, boat ramp, fuel supplies, dive fills and a burger bar and restaurant.

This property would ideally suit someone wanting to take on the responsibility of continuing the environmental and sanctuary work undertaken by the current owners with the option of offering holiday accommodation to supplement income and outgoings.
