Ever fancied to buy a geothermal property? While not buying a geothermal spa in the Bay of Plenty region on the North Island of New Zealand?

Likely counted into the “other news”-category, we today stumbled across a geothermal bath/ spa for sale in New Zealand.  The Fernland spa, located in the Bay of Plenty region region of New Zealand, situated around a bight of the same name in the northern coast of the North Island, is set on a 2.15 ha native bush clad site. the Spa is a well-established recreational operation offering a range of thermal mineral pools, picnic and function areas, a small camping ground, additional visitor accommodation and a manager’s dwelling.

Having first opened to the public in the mid-1970s, Fernland Spa has been in the same family ownership since 1989. Its owners are now looking to move on in a new direction after investing significant time and money into the seven-day-a-week business and the property’s infrastructure.

The purpose-built swimming pool and changing room complex features a large in-ground open-air main pool and eight semi-detached private pools – four open-air and four enclosed. The pools have clear, non-chlorinated warm mineral water sourced via bores which access Tauranga’s underground geothermal system which extends from Waihi to Maketu.

The pools and a 22-site camping ground are located on the lower plateau of the property, with a modest 1950s home, sleepout and garaging on the upper portion of the property. The rear of the property backs on to private reserve land.

The freehold land, buildings and business via a tender campaign closing 4pm, Thursday 3rd December.
