From the listing agent
In the words of Lee Dickens, Arizto
There’s something special about arriving on the Karikari Peninsula. The light feels softer, the pace slows, and the coastline seems to stretch endlessly in every direction. Set along Doubtless Bay Drive, this generous 850m² section presents a rare opportunity to secure a well-positioned slice of one of the Far North’s most admired coastal communities. Ideal for those dreaming of a permanent seaside base or a relaxed holiday escape, this is land that invites vision and rewards thoughtful design.
Gently contoured, the section offers an excellent balance of usability and outlook. With main road access and a sloping profile, it provides flexibility for a range of building options. An elevated build would unlock uninterrupted sweeping sea views across Tokerau Beach, allowing you to design a home that truly embraces its coastal setting - think sun-soaked living areas, expansive decks and effortless indoor-outdoor flow.
While this is a blank canvas, the lifestyle is already well established. Morning swims, long beach walks and fishing missions are all part of daily life here, with the peninsula renowned for its diving, snorkelling and boating. Carrington Golf Resort sits just minutes away, offering world-class fairways, dining and a relaxed social scene, while the nearby Karikari Estate Winery adds another layer of local flavour.
Practicality hasn’t been overlooked either. A short stroll connects you to the local shop and amenities, and Kaitaia is an easy 30-minute drive for supermarkets, schooling and services. It’s this balance - a world away yet still connected - that continues to draw buyers north.
Sections of this size and position are becoming increasingly hard to find on the Karikari Peninsula. If you’ve been searching for the right place to build, invest or future-proof your coastal lifestyle, this could be the one.

Adjacency to DOC or other protected areas can trigger RMA assessment matters, including effects on ecological values and public access.
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.
