From the listing agent

In the words of Lin Norris, Bayleys Whangārei

An opportunity to secure a good-sized block of land in a great location; private, elevated, with stunning views, and a blank canvas, giving you the choice of how to develop it. Featuring 3.2780 hectares (more or less) in one title, this property has been subdivided from a long-time family dairy unit and is still currently utilised as part of the dairy platform. Elevated and sitting above the road, it provides both privacy and magical views over Ruakākā, across to Whangārei Heads, Bream Bay, and the outer islands. There is a choice of building sites to take advantage of these views, which cannot be built out. Nearly all of the land is in pasture, with two small blocks of mature mānuka. Power is available at the boundary, and new internal boundary fencing will be completed prior to settlement. A legal concrete accessway is in place from Doctors Hill Road. Situated just a short distance from SH1, with Ruakākā and Waipū in close proximity, the property offers excellent convenience. Auckland City is getting closer all the time as the new motorway progresses. Ruakākā township has a supermarket, shopping centre, medical and dental services, while good schooling is also available. Enjoy easy access to some of Northland's finest east coast beaches, the Ruakākā racecourse, golf at Waipū, and a selection of popular walkways. It is a great place for a family, with all this entertainment on your doorstep. Immediately across the road from the property is a small wetland, providing breeding grounds for the New Zealand native bittern, adding to the special qualities on offer here. The vendors are keen to consider all realistic offers. Contact Lin now for further details and to arrange an appointment to inspect. The property is for sale plus GST (if any).

Too far away to matter: nearest powerline 365 m · nearest rail 15.3 km.

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.
