From the listing agent
In the words of Rae Ocean, Ray White - Whangarei
If you're looking for a flat, easy section where you can drop on a standard house plan, 34 Punga Grove Avenue probably isn't for you.
But if you've ever imagined creating a home that people walk into and simply say "wow" .... keep reading.
Perched high above Whangārei, this steep, elevated site delivers the kind of outlook that only elevation can provide: an extraordinary 270-degree panorama stretching across the city and beyond.
By day, the view is expansive. As evening falls, the city begins to glow below you, with Te Matau a Pohe and the golden cupola of the Hundertwasser Art Centre forming part of a constantly changing backdrop.
And yes - the section is steep.
That's not something we're going to hide.
It means building here will require thought, good design and a buyer with vision. But it is also precisely why the view is so spectacular.
The current owners had that vision. They purchased the land intending to create their dream home and had concept plans prepared for a stepped architectural design that works with the contour rather than fighting it. A preliminary driveway concept is also available, giving the next owner a useful starting point.
A change in circumstances has taken them out of Whangarei, leaving an opportunity for someone else to take over the dream.
This won't be the right section for 99 out of 100 buyers.
We're looking for the one.
The architecturally minded buyer.
The view chaser.
The person who doesn't want another house that looks like everyone else's.
If that's you, come and stand on the site.
Because this is one property that photographs simply can't explain.
Contact Rae Ocean and Sandie Kirkman today to walk the site and see what makes this so special.

Orientation we design around — see the contours on the aerial
Too far away to matter: nearest rail 1.1 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.
