From the listing agent
In the words of Justin Sims, Ray White - Whangarei
Tucked privately down a right of way in desirable Maunu, this sunny north-facing 1.2170 ha (approx 3 acres) parcel offers the perfect setting to create your dream country lifestyle - just minutes from town.
Gently contoured and easy to build on, the land features an elevated prime building platform with sweeping rural valley views, framed by mature trees and expansive open outlooks. It's a peaceful, picturesque environment where you can truly unwind.
Much of the groundwork has already been done for you:
- Power to the gate
- Boundary fencing forming two paddocks
- Formed driveway in place
- Freehold title
- Geotechnical report available
- Shipping container (negotiable)
Thoughtful covenants are in place to protect the natural amenity of the surrounding area, while still allowing flexibility to design and build your vision.
Enjoy the best of both worlds - privacy and tranquility, yet only 7 km (approx) to town. Zoned for Maunu School and conveniently close to local shops, Barge Park, and the ever popular Jolt Cafe.
Opportunities in this tightly held location are rare - secure your slice of Maunu paradise today.

Site context
What shapes the build here.
Road frontage
77 m
OTAIKA VALLEY ROAD, POMPALLIER ESTATE DRIVE — vehicle crossing still needs council approval
Nearest stream
12 m
A riparian setback likely shrinks the build platform — check the district plan
Nearest coast
3.4 km
Amenity at this distance, not a constraint
Nearest lake
88 m
Riparian-margin rules may apply — check the district plan
Site aspect
Falls ≈ north-west
A north-facing fall suits passive-solar orientation
Too far away to matter: nearest powerline 350 m · nearest rail 4.4 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.
