From the listing agent
In the words of Tanya Maich, Bayleys - Whangarei
Tucked away in a private seaside bush setting, this rare 1.0120ha (more or less) retreat offers an extraordinary opportunity to secure a slice of coastal freedom overlooking McLeod’s Bay.
Framed by native bush and open clearings, the land provides multiple potential building sites, allowing you to design and position your future home to maximise outlook, privacy, and connection to nature.
The property enjoys elevated views across McLeod’s Bay and has been cherished by the current owners as a peaceful coastal escape. Several cabins are positioned throughout the land and, while unconsented, have been enjoyed as flexible accommodation and short-stay retreats - perfect for weekend getaways immersed in bush and sea air.
Lush vegetable gardens, established plantings, and a natural sense of seclusion enhance the lifestyle on offer. With no land covenants in place, there is freedom to build your dream home without restrictive design controls, subject only to zoning and council bylaws.
Opportunities like this are increasingly hard to find. The owners are highly motivated and welcome all offers - this is your chance to secure a truly unique coastal bush retreat.

Orientation we design around — see the contours on the aerial
Too far away to matter: nearest lake 2.1 km · nearest rail 15.1 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.
