From the listing agent
In the words of Leonie Mateer, One Agency - Far North
Set high above the stunning Whangaroa Harbour, this 2.9-hectare (7.3-acre) lifestyle block offers a rare combination of panoramic views, extensive native planting, and valuable infrastructure — with an active Resource Consent in place to subdivide into three lots (valid until June 2027).
Significant development work has already been completed, including:
Power trenched to the boundary
Gravel access roads and stormwater drainage system
3-bay shed with concrete floor
Retaining walls built to engineering code.
Two water tanks
Walking track through regenerating native bush
Thousands of native trees and plants established
The current CV of $480,000 does not reflect these improvements, making this a unique opportunity for those seeking more than just bare land.
While subdivision is possible, a new owner would still need to invest further in road upgrades and site development. This makes the property ideally suited to a lifestyle buyer seeking privacy, long-term flexibility, and exceptional harbour views — with the bonus of future development potential.
Zoning changes expected next year may restrict subdivision potential elsewhere, making this consented site a rare offering in a tightly held region.
Whether you’re looking to create a private retreat, build your dream home, or landbank for the years ahead, 3 Gilligans Lane is a one-of-a-kind opportunity in one of Northland’s most iconic coastal locations.

Site aspect
Falls ≈ north-west
A north-facing fall suits passive-solar orientation
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.
