From the listing agent
In the words of Sandy McKenzie, NZSIR - Northland
Secure your place in one of Mangawhai Heads’ most exclusive gated enclaves with this premium 1,167 sq m (more or less) coastal section.
Elevated above the iconic surf beach, the site commands sweeping views across the Pacific Ocean, Mangawhai Estuary and golden sand dunes -an exceptional setting for a luxury coastal retreat.
Significant thought and investment have already gone into a bespoke architectural design, with near-complete plans that respond beautifully to the site’s aspect, light, and natural contours.
With all key documentation in place, including geotechnical reports and high-spec architectural concept plans, RFI mitigation has also been incorporated to address the nearby mobile tower. This is a rare chance to fast-track your build in a truly outstanding coastal location.
Beyond the gates, residents enjoy a private, tightly held community with access to tennis courts, peaceful shared spaces, and direct proximity to the beach - where even peak summer feels relaxed and uncrowded. Just over an hour from Auckland, Mangawhai Heads continues to grow in popularity, offering boutique cafés, acclaimed dining, vibrant local markets, and world-class golf courses.
Originally intended as a forever home, a change in circumstances now presents a rare opportunity for a new owner to bring this vision to life.
A Market Valuation Report has been completed, confirming a value of $1,300,000, and the property is now offered with buyer enquiry invited around this level.
Opportunities like this are exceptionally rare – don’t miss your moment. Contact us today for the full information pack and take the first step towards your coastal sanctuary.

Site aspect
Falls ≈ north
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.
