Set across 47 hectares (more or less) of mature native forest and regenerating former farmland in the Brynderwyn Ranges, Mangawhai Heights is an extraordinary ecological enhancement project — a rare fusion of nature, privacy and lifestyle. Over decades, native bush has been allowed to flourish, attracting abundant native birds and creating a living sanctuary of exceptional beauty. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
