From the listing agent
In the words of Janine Goldsmith, Bream Bay Realty - Ruakaka
Seldom available.
This elevated section in a subdivision tucked in behind the racecourse and with the ocean in view, is a roomy 563 square metres (more or less).
A two-level dwelling will give you Eastern sunrises over the water, what a beautiful start to the day.
Generous covenants do not however dictate a minimum dwelling size, so as long as the materials are new, the home can be built to suit you.
Here is an opportunity, what are you waiting for.
Location, location.
Surf beach, river esplanade, Town Centre and schooling all at your disposal, minutes away.

Adjacent DOC / protected estate
Within 55 m of protected land — Ruakākā Scenic Reserve
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.
