In the words of Sandy McKenzie, NZSIR - Northland
Lot 3 | Mangawhai Heights
Now $595,000
The biggest ocean outlook currently available at Mangawhai Heights.
Lot 3 is arguably the standout site for those seeking expansive coastal views. Set high within the Brynderwyn Ranges, this elevated 8,742 sqm (more or less) site offers a remarkable sense of scale, privacy and connection to the surrounding landscape.
From its elevated position, the land opens to 360-degree views across native bush, farmland, Mangawhai Heads township and an impressive sweep of the Pacific Ocean horizon. Of the three Lots currently available, Lot 3 offers the most expansive ocean outlook, creating an exceptional opportunity to design a home around the view.
The sloping nature of the site provides elevation above the surrounding landscape, while mature and regenerating native bush creates a natural sense of seclusion. Kauri, native ferns and abundant birdlife add to the feeling that this is a place where nature remains firmly at the centre of everyday life.
Mangawhai Heights is a private, security-gated ecological community spanning 47 hectares (more or less), with covenants designed to protect the natural environment and the integrity of the subdivision and suit your vision.
Yet this peaceful setting remains remarkably convenient - approximately five minutes to Mangawhai Heads and Mangawhai Central and around ten minutes to Langs Beach. Enjoy nearby surf and estuary beaches, cafés, wineries, artisan olive producers, walking tracks, golf courses and the many attractions of the Mangawhai community.
Lot 3 offers the opportunity to create a truly exceptional coastal home - one designed around the landscape, the elevation and, most importantly, that extraordinary ocean outlook.
We strongly encourage you to come and see this site in person. The photographs may capture the view, but they cannot convey its scale or the feeling of standing high above the landscape with the Pacific Ocean stretching towards the horizon.
Arrange your private viewing today and experience the view that makes Lot 3 so special.

Too far away to matter: nearest rail 14.2 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.
