About this section
<p>There's no denying the magic of the Waipu coastline, but finding a lifestyle block that is truly "ready to go" can be a challenge. Most elevated sites require months of planning and significant earthworks before you can even think about a floor plan. This property is the exception. With all ground work levelled and engineered signed off ready.<br /><br />Spanning 1.1 hectares with a prime north-to-northeast aspect, this isn't just a paddock on a hill. The vendors have invested heavily in the infrastructure, transforming the land into a sweep of level, usable space. Fully engineered near acre building platform, verified and ready for construction to take the biggest of shed and houses. Whether you're dreaming of a modern family home or a simple coastal retreat, you can start with complete confidence and a significantly shorter to-do list.<br /><br />The perspective from the ridge is incredible. You have a 180-degree front-row seat to the Whangārei Heads and the Hen & Chicken Islands. Watching the sunrise over Taranga Island or seeing the moon reflect on the estuary becomes your new daily routine with cool view of the rivermouth and surf too! <br /><br />With over an acre of newly created flat land, there is plenty of room for the things that make lifestyle living worthwhile - a large shed for the boat, a home orchard, or simply wide-open lawn for the kids to run. Because the covenants are minimal, you have the freedom to build in a style that suits you, at a pace that fits your lifestyle.<br /><br />The location strikes a great balance between rural quiet and coastal convenience. You're just a stroll from the water's edge and the estuary, while the surf at Waipu Cove - recently voted Best Beach for a second year - is just a short trip down the road. The new coastal cycleway also offers a flat, easy route into Waipu township for a coffee or the Saturday markets.<br /><br />This is a straightforward, high-quality opportunity - a premium piece of land where the heavy lifting is already finished. Get on with life and live what you've always wanted. Because it's all too easy to waste years thinking about it. <br /><br />For sale by tender, closing 4:00pm 3 June (vendor reserves the right to sell prior)<br /><br />See more here: www.rwbreambay.co.nz/WPU30494</p>
