From the listing agent
In the words of Murray Coop, Ray White - Tutukaka Coast
Extreme ocean views - Tutukaka Coast
A 5,883 sqm plot offering a spectacular opportunity to build your permanent residence or a great holiday home on the sought after Tutukaka Coast. This is more than just land; it's a chance to join a vibrant, friendly Kiwi seaside community and access some of the best coastline in the world.
It's a breathtaking outlook reaching across Ngunguru Bay to the Hen & Chicks, and beyond. The white sandy beach of Whangaumu Bay is at the bottom of the lane for launching your boat. Great swimming and fishing or catch a wave on adjacent surf break. This is a supreme building platform for a truly exceptional development nestled in a gated area with a handful of other sections that enjoy this 'ridge over coloured waters'.
The Ngunguru & Tutukaka Lifestyle Awaits:
Ngunguru is proudly known as the gateway to the world-famous Tutukaka Coast. The area is renowned for its spectacular, clear waters and is considered one of the most desirable coastlines globally.
Vibrant Community & Facilities: The local villages boast excellent facilities including doctors, a primary school, charming cafes, restaurants, a golf course, tennis courts, and bowling greens. A marina village that offers boating trips to the islands or fishing for that trophy experieince.
Outdoor Wonderland: Whether you enjoy diving at the world-renowned Poor Knights Islands marine reserve, surfing the ocean-side sandspit, or just fishing and paddle boarding in the bay, this area is a paradise for sea sports enthusiasts.
Convenient Location: Despite feeling like an idyllic escape, you are only a short 33 km drive to Whangarei city, ensuring all urban conveniences are within easy reach.

Site aspect

A north-facing fall suits passive-solar orientation
Too far away to matter: nearest rail 20.9 km.
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.
