From the listing agent
In the words of Ben Gibson, Harcourts - Orewa
There are sections, and then there are opportunities that simply don't come around twice.
Bordering the protected beauty of Shakespear Regional Park, this incredible landholding places nature quite literally at your doorstep. Step out from your future home and straight onto some of the Coast's most spectacular walking tracks, winding through native bush, open farmland and dramatic coastline toward both Army Bay and Okoromai Bay.
Held by the same family for decades, this is one of the final chances to secure land adjoining this extraordinary regional sanctuary. Once this is gone, there's every chance another opportunity like it may not surface for a generation.
The section itself is ready and waiting. Positioned to embrace elevation, sunshine and breathtaking surroundings, it offers the perfect platform to create something truly special. Imagine designing a home where your outlook is forever protected, where the backdrop is rolling green parkland, native birdlife and the sparkling Hauraki Gulf beyond.
The lifestyle here is what sets it apart. Morning swims, paddleboards, fishing, hiking tracks, mountain biking, picnics in the park, or simply watching the changing colours roll across the landscape. Land and sea are both right here, ready for whatever kind of day you feel like having.
For golfers, Whangaparāoa Golf Club is moments away. Gulf Harbour Marina and ferry services to the city keep Auckland within easy reach, while great schools, beaches and everyday amenities remain close by.
The vendor's motivation is very real, and the pricing now reflects a clear intention to get this sold.
If you've been waiting for something rare, private and impossible to recreate, this is your moment.
Opportunities bordering protected parkland are exceptionally scarce. Opportunities like this, with the walkways literally at your boundary, are even rarer.
Come walk the land, stand in the silence, and picture what life here could become.

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.
