From the listing agent
In the words of Christine Tierney, Harcourts - Waipu
At the end of Breton Drive lies Dram Way, a small private alcove of quality houses and home to a 1,221m2 section. Positioned at the very end of the street, this building site offers a rare combination of privacy and natural surroundings. Bordering an expansive, park-like council esplanade with direct access to the river walkway, the property enjoys uninterrupted green space on one side and grazing farmland on the other - ensuring a tranquil outlook.
Waipu village is just a short, easy stroll away, offering a convenient lifestyle with local schools, shops and cafés all within reach. You can unwind at the well-known McLeod's Pizza Barn & Brewery, soak up the friendly community atmosphere or explore the regular weekend markets.
Outdoor enthusiasts will love the variety on offer, from scenic walking and cycling tracks to canoeing along the river. There's also a local fishing club, boat ramp and beautiful surf beaches nearby - perfect for making the most of summer.
Our highly motivated owners are ready to meet the market and encourage offers.

Amenity at this distance, not a constraint
Site aspect
Falls ≈ north-west
A north-facing fall suits passive-solar orientation
Too far away to matter: nearest powerline 1.7 km · nearest lake 2.5 km · nearest rail 15.6 km.
Adjacent DOC / protected estate
Within 28 m of protected land — Local Purpose Reserve Waipu (south of Whangārei)
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); 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.
