From the listing agent
In the words of Paula Alexander, Harcourts - Waipu
Perfectly positioned halfway between Waipu and Waipu Cove, this elevated 1-hectare lifestyle property offers sweeping ocean, dune, estuary, and island views in a highly desirable area.
Enjoy an unbeatable coastal lifestyle with easy walking access to the estuary via Johnson Point Road, ideal for fishing at the river mouth, floundering in the estuary, gathering pipi or cockles, or surfing the break just across the sand dunes.
Families and outdoor enthusiasts will love the safe cycleway connecting you directly to both Waipu Cove and Waipu Village.
Conveniently located 30 minutes from Whangarei and approximately 1.5 hours from Auckland, this property offers the perfect blend of coastal living and accessibility.
With no covenants, you have complete flexibility to design and build the home or retreat that suits your vision.

Site context
What shapes the build here.
Road frontage
76 m
COVE ROAD, INSLEY ROAD, NOVA SCOTIA DRIVE, SOUTH ROAD, STATE HIGHWAY 1 — vehicle crossing still needs council approval
Nearest stream
594 m
Unlikely to constrain the build
Nearest coast
1.7 km
Amenity at this distance, not a constraint
Site aspect
Falls ≈ north
A north-facing fall suits passive-solar orientation
Too far away to matter: nearest powerline 2.0 km · nearest lake 2.1 km · nearest rail 15.7 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.
