From the listing agent

In the words of Kirsty McCorkindale, Bayleys Whangārei

First time on the market since 1965, this special section offers a rare chance to secure land in one of the most sought-after locations on the Whangārei Heads peninsula. Positioned beneath the iconic Mount Manaia, the property enjoys a peaceful setting surrounded by natural beauty and coastal character. The 1,201sqm (more or less) sloping section was historically used as the orchard for the home in front and still features established plantings and mature fruit trees, giving the land a sense of history and a lush, sheltered feel. From the site, you'll enjoy pleasant water views and a tranquil outlook. A shared right of way provides access to the property, and a unique bonus is walking access down to the secluded McGregor Bay - a beautiful bay with no public road access, offering a quiet coastal retreat rarely found today. Whether you are planning a permanent home or a holiday escape, this section presents an exceptional opportunity to create something special in a tightly held coastal enclave. Contact Kirsty for further information and organise to view.

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.
