From the listing agent
In the words of Stewart McElwain, Ray White - Mangawhai
Set amongst rolling countryside, established trees and peaceful rural surrounds, 235 Pukenui Road offers an exciting opportunity to create your ideal country lifestyle or capitalise on an existing Resource Consent for a four-lot subdivision.
With the hard work already underway - including ecological reporting, geotechnical investigations and draft engineering plans - this is far more than a lifestyle block. It's a property with genuine development potential.
Located along a quiet country road, this 4.24ha more or less property offers a gently contoured landscape, lush pasture, multiple potential building sites and impressive mature deciduous trees, all framed by beautiful pastoral and bush-clad valley hills. Native plantings will further enhance the surrounding vista and local birdlife.
Build your dream. Or build four.
For the owner-occupier, this is a rare chance to escape the city and create a private country retreat surrounded by open space and tranquil rural views. Kaiwaka offers a relaxed rural lifestyle, where farming, lifestyle living and its 3 Eco Villages communities come together. For the savvy purchaser, the existing Resource Consent for a four-lot subdivision opens the door to creating four lifestyle properties in an appealing commutable rural setting.
The opportunity is here. The next move is yours.
And the location delivers ... Kaiwaka is a friendly rural hamlet at the midpoint of a narrow east-west isthmus. Just minutes from State Highway 1 and Kaiwaka's local amenities, with Auckland approximately an hour away, you'll enjoy the best of rural living without being too far from everyday conveniences. Kaiwaka Village is a welcoming rural hub offering a well-equipped sports centre, laundromat, service stations, cafes, a Cheese Deli, an Italian Bakery, an Indian Restaurant, a Sushi Shop, the unique Cafe Eutopia, a Four-Square store, and a local country Primary School. A public boat ramp is around 10 minutes away, making it easy to get out on the water; the Kaipara Harbour is able to boast being the spawning ground for the Cape Reinga to Taranaki-wide Snapper 8 colony, while Mangawhai's estuary and renowned surf beaches are but 20 minutes away.
Whether you're looking to build your forever home, secure a private rural escape, or pursue the potential of four lifestyle properties, 235 Pukenui Road deserves your attention. Opportunities with this combination of land, location and consented potential don't come along often.
