About this section

This rare 4,000m² sloping section with mature trees is situated back off the road in a popular location at Ruru Lane. There is plenty of scope to design and build an amazing elevated home to take in the views of the Kerikeri Inlet and Waitangi Forest. Just 4km to the centre of town, cafes, shops, local schools, and just around the corner to Rowlands Wood - a lovely dog walking park. The nearby Waitangi Forest is often used for walking or cycling activities with many forest tracks to choose from. If boating is your thing, the Windsor Landing boat ramp is only 7.4km away and Wharau Road offers a small beach with swimming access. This section ticks all the boxes plus sensible building covenants. Sections like this are hard to find. GEOTech Report also available upon request.
