From the listing agent
In the words of Paul Sumich, Harcourts - Silverdale / Millwater
We're 48 and 48A Cairnfield Road.
Two gently sloping sites, side by side, north and west-facing, in the part of Whangarei people search hard to find land to build on.
Kensington has always been the sweet spot. Central enough to walk. Settled enough to stay.
Close enough to everything that you stop driving to most of it.
Kensington Crossing is a stroll away. The local café, the supermarkets, the everyday.
All close by.
The kind of street where you know where you're going and how long it takes to get there.
Here's who we're for:
Downsizers who aren't ready for a retirement village, and shouldn't be.
Empty-nesters who want the lock-and-leave life without surrendering the postcode.
Buyers who've worked out that a well-designed three-bedroom on the right block beats a five-bedroom you don't use.
Build a townhouse on one. Build a pair across both. Live in one, rent the other.
With no additional build covenants here, the shape of the move is yours to draw.
The specs:
48: 354sqm (approx.), gently sloping, north/west aspect, freehold, services to the boundary. $265,000.
48A: 450sqm (approx.), gently sloping, north/west aspect, freehold, services to the boundary. $275,000.
Both together: $510,000.
The developer's plans have changed.
The location hasn't. Kensington is still Kensington, and sections like these, in this part of it, are not how the market usually works.
We're ready when you are. One of us, or both.

Site context
What shapes the build here.
Road frontage
22 m
CAIRNFIELD ROAD, KAMO ROAD, KING STREET, MAINS AVENUE — vehicle crossing still needs council approval
Nearest stream
127 m
Unlikely to constrain the build
Nearest coast
3.6 km
Amenity at this distance, not a constraint
Nearest lake
891 m
Rail line
353 m
Site aspect
Falls ≈ north-east
A north-facing fall suits passive-solar orientation
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.
