From the listing agent
In the words of Leanne Walker, Ray White Warkworth
An exciting change for this unique lifestyle. With the pines removed a stunning view of the Pahi and Whakapirau settlements surrounded by the meandering Pahi River is revealed - What a treat!
A lifestyle lot full of character and promise. 4.5 hectares (11.09 acres) in a single paddock, alive with a variety of flora.
Build your dream here. A clearance at the top by the eastern boundary is an ideal building site for the best views. Park your camper or caravan and kick start your lifestyle journey.
Located just a few minutes' drive from Whakapirau beach, this property is perfect for creating a permanent home or a temporary escape - an attractive investment either way.
Drivetimes approximate:
Whakapirau Beach 2 minutes

Site context
What shapes the build here.
Road frontage
142 m
WHAKAPIRAU ROAD — vehicle crossing still needs council approval
Nearest stream

Setback unlikely to bite — verify in the district plan
Nearest coast

Nearest lake

Site aspect
Falls ≈ north-west
A north-facing fall suits passive-solar orientation
Too far away to matter: nearest rail 5.1 km.
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.
