From the listing agent
In the words of Todd Skudder, Bayleys - Dargaville
This tidy 4.00 hectare (more or less) block offers space, privacy and genuine future upside. It comes with a new three-bay implement shed plus a separate single lockable garage, giving you practical infrastructure from day one.
Subdivision plans for three lots are already prepared, providing plenty of options - develop each lot individually, keep one or more for future capital growth, or simply enjoy the main block as it stands. The groundwork and layout have been thought out, so whoever steps in next can make the most of the property straight away.
Protective covenants are in place to maintain quality and safeguard value in the area, giving added confidence in your investment.
Set in a peaceful rural spot, the property is just six minutes to Paparoa with its local store, petrol station, primary school and playcentre. Matakohe School is just around the corner, making the morning run simple and close to home.
Maungaturoto is a short drive away, offering a Four Square, petrol stations, pharmacy, medical centre, primary school and early learning centre. Secondary schooling is available nearby at Ruawai College, just fifteen minutes from the property. Dargaville township is an easy 35 minute drive for larger shops, services and amenities.
With future plans to complete a Northern Expressway, travel time to Auckland will be shorter, adding extra appeal for long-term buyers.

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.
