About this section

Three exceptional lifestyle sites. One beautifully executed subdivision. A rare chance to secure land that has already done the hard work for you. Privately positioned and thoughtfully formed, this boutique three-lot enclave has been carefully shaped to maximise sun, outlook and usability. A tree-lined concrete driveway creates a sense of arrival - subtle, elegant and timeless - setting the tone for what lies beyond. Each site is elevated and north-facing, bathing in natural light year-round. Power is connected, the landscaping is established, and the boundaries are defined - allowing you to focus on designing a home that works for you, rather than navigating infrastructure. Lot 3 offers 1.86 hectares of gently contoured land, complete with a pond and space to truly spread out - ideal for those wanting room for sheds, grazing or a substantial lifestyle residence. Lot 2 (9007sqm) and Lot 4 (6617sqm) present manageable, well-proportioned sites surrounded by a peaceful rural setting - perfect for those wanting lifestyle without being overwhelmed by acreage. Location remains a standout. Just minutes to Kamo and approximately 20 minutes to Whangārei CBD, you're close to town while enjoying the quiet of countryside living. Matarau School is nearby, reinforcing the strong community feel this area is known for. In a market where building requires careful consideration, securing the right land is the first - and most important - step. Opportunities like this, where the subdivision is complete, beautifully presented and ready to go, are increasingly hard to find. This is not simply bare land. It's a foundation for the next chapter.
