From the listing agent
In the words of Warrick Harkness, Ray White - Whangarei
Perched above one of Northland's most captivating coastlines, this remarkable 18.7405 hectare property on Rockell Road, Whananaki offers a rare chance to secure your own piece of paradise - buyers are encouraged to make their offer
Imagine sipping morning coffee while soaking in panoramic ocean and rural views in every direction, on a property already giving you land and grazing potential. With multiple building sites to choose from and the land currently grazed by a neighbour, you'll enjoy privacy, practicality and inspiration.
And just as important - you're based in Whananaki, a place where the lifestyle genuinely lives up to the dream. Walk across the iconic wooden footbridge (the longest footbridge in the Southern Hemisphere!) which spans the estuary and connects North and South Whananaki.
Visit the local store to pick up your essentials and an ice cream, and soak in the laid back coastal vibe.
Adventure beckons too: explore white sand beaches at Otamure Bay and in the surrounding bays, paddle or kayak the estuary, hike the scenic coastal tracks through native bush, or simply relax as the tide rolls in.
This is more than just land, it's the potential for a home, a lifestyle, a legacy. With this much property, this view, this location and a real income capable pasture with wetlands block beneath your feet, the canvas is yours. Don't miss your chance to secure this rare coastal gem.

Site context
What shapes the build here.
Road frontage
309 m
ROCKELL ROAD — vehicle crossing still needs council approval
Nearest wetland
2.1 km
Unlikely to constrain the build
Nearest stream
74 m
Setback unlikely to bite — verify in the district plan
Nearest coast
212 m
Amenity at this distance, not a constraint
Nearest lake
380 m
Site aspect
Falls ≈ north
A north-facing fall suits passive-solar orientation
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.
