From the listing agent

In the words of Alex Smits, Ray White Whangarei

Either you're looking for a permanent residence, or a weekend retreat, this property has something special to offer. Perched at the top of Helena Bay Hill, 5 km from the beach with stunning views over the Pacific Ocean spanning from Mimiwhangata to the entrance of the Whangaruru Harbour - sunrises will be sublime. Take your pick of beaches from Ngahau to Oakura and beyond to the Bay of Islands. Some of the best diving, fishing and surfing awaits. There are no defined building sites or restrictive building covenants you can choose to either bring your tiny home or build your dream grand design home. For the permanent resident, the 6 ha of land will provide options for the self-sustainable lifestyle. Rich volcanic soil is perfect for growing grass, fruit and vegetables. For buyers that want location without the hassle of maintaining land there are two options - lease out the grazing, or plant the property in native trees. Currently the middle portion of the property has already been planted in over 5000 native trees. The gorse on the property is intentional as it is used as a nurse crop. Northland is growing in population, the northern expressway from Auckland to Whangarei will see even more growth. Blocks of land this size with the proximity to the east coast are rare to find. Please note: The road towards Helena Bay has been closed due the slips earlier in the year. This property has remained accessible to its residents. Please contact the agent to arrange to view. Purchase price is plus GST (if any). www.rwwhangarei.co.nz/WHC38605

Too far away to matter: nearest powerline 521 m.

Distances are from the parcel centroid to Topo 1:50k features (LINZ); site aspect is approximate, from the 1m LiDAR contours. Road frontage is a proxy — centreline intersection with parcel boundary, not a legal access measure. Confirm setbacks with a district-plan check before purchase.
