From the listing agent
In the words of Tim Alexander, Harcourts - Warkworth
Nestled in the heart of the Kaipara, these four exceptional sections on Metcalfe Road offer a rare opportunity to secure your slice of one of the Kaiparas most sought-after coastal landscapes. Each section enjoys sheltered outlooks over the Arapaoa Inlet with in the Kaipara Harbour - a setting that invites you to slow down and savour the surroundings.
Lot 1 is a section with a point of difference - two ponds set within a gentle contour give this land a quiet, unhurried character that is rare to find. The building platform sits elevated above the main pond, framing a view that takes in both the tranquil water below and the Kaipara Harbour beyond, with rolling farmland stretching out in between. It is the kind of outlook that shapes how a home is designed, and the life lived within it.
At 3.5 hectares it is the second largest of the four sections, offering plenty of room to run a small flock of sheep or a few other animals alongside a lifestyle that moves at its own pace.
Positioned just on the outskirts of Matakohe at the gateway to the Tinopai Peninsula, these sections are ready for your dream build or to land bank for the future. Whether you're ready to break ground now or simply secure your foothold in this stunning location, the opportunity is here.
Each section has an identified building site, with Lots 1, 2 and 3 enjoying elevated harbour views, while Lot 4 offers a more private, bush-sheltered retreat. All four sections extend down to the public esplanade near the waters edge.
With relaxed covenants and manageable land sizes, these sections lend themselves beautifully to a gentle rural lifestyle, without the overhead and commitment of a full-scale farm. Four sections ranging in size and character mean there's an option to suit a variety of buyers and budgets.
- Lot 1 - 3.5 hectares
- Lot 2 - 1.8 hectares
- Lot 3 - 2.2 hectares
- Lot 4 - 4.6 hectares
- Road access established
- Power to roadside boundary
- 4G cell phone coverage
- Internet via Starlink recommended
- Identified house sites
- Fully Fenced
This is Kaipara living at its finest. Come and make it yours.

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.
