About this section

Two freehold sections are for sale in one of the area’s most tightly held coastal locations, offering a rare chance to secure land just moments from the beach and town. 7A (454sqm more or less) enjoys valuable road frontage, while 7B (500sqm more or less) sits privately to the rear. Both are flat, north-facing sites with an easy contour, making them ideal to build on and designed to capture all-day sun. Power, water and sewerage are all conveniently available for connection. Positioned less than 200 metres from the beach and an easy 900-metre walk to the wharf and town centre, the lifestyle on offer here is effortless. The boat ramp and golf course are within easy reach, completing the ultimate coastal package. With Commercial zoning, the possibilities extend beyond creating a beautiful home - explore options to develop, generate income, or landbank in a location where very few sections remain. Buy one or secure both. Either way, this is a scarce opportunity to claim a prime slice of coastal real estate with long-term potential and legacy appeal.

Adjacency to DOC or other protected areas can trigger RMA assessment matters, including effects on ecological values and public access.

Distances are from the parcel centroid to Topo 1:50k features (LINZ). Road frontage is a proxy — centreline intersection with parcel boundary, not a legal access measure. Confirm setbacks with a district-plan check before purchase.

Survey data from LINZ Landonline. A surveyor's boundary redefinition can cost $3–10k+ depending on site conditions — factor it in if you plan to build close to a boundary and existing marks are damaged or missing.
