From the listing agent
In the words of Warren Plaisted, Harcourts - Whangarei

Fenced and sitting amongst quality homes, this is a rare opportunity to secure land in one of Whangarei's premium locations.

Site context
What shapes the build here.
Road frontage
0 m
No mapped frontage — check for a registered access easement (see the title above)
Nearest stream
116 m
Unlikely to constrain the build
Nearest coast
3.7 km
Amenity at this distance, not a constraint
Nearest lake
237 m
Site aspect
Falls ≈ north-west
A north-facing fall suits passive-solar orientation
Too far away to matter: nearest powerline 995 m · nearest rail 4.0 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.
