About this section

Tucked away at the end of a peaceful lane, yet only moments from Mangawhai township, this circa 1.6-hectare (more or less) clear block offers an exceptional opportunity for development. The site features a flat, well-positioned building platform, with geotechnical reports available on request, providing confidence for future development; the land is ready to bring your vision to life. The wider Tara area also carries a rich agricultural heritage, with historically fertile soils, great for the gardens and landscaping.

Redefinition survey

Unlikely needed

Based on plan age + survey class

Survey data from LINZ Landonline. A surveyor's boundary redefinition can cost $3–10k+ depending on site conditions — factor it in if you plan to build close to a boundary and existing marks are damaged or missing.
