From the listing agent
In the words of Sandy McKenzie, NZSIR - Northland
Some places simply need to be experienced.
Set high within the Brynderwyn Ranges, Mangawhai Heights is a remarkable 47-hectare (more or less) landscape of mature native forest, regenerating farmland and elevated coastal land. Private, peaceful and surrounded by nature, it offers a sense of space and outlook that is increasingly difficult to find.
While the views have attracted strong interest online, we believe the real impact of Mangawhai Heights comes when you stand here yourself.
Arrive through the private security gates and the experience immediately changes. Native bush surrounds you, birdsong fills the air and expansive views open across the neighbouring Sanctuary subdivision, farmland, the Brynderwyn Ranges, Mangawhai Heads and the Pacific Ocean.
With elevated positions and impressive outlooks, the three, Stage One Lots, each offer their own combination of privacy, space and connection to the natural environment.
This presents an excellent opportunity to explore what Mangawhai Heights has to offer and consider securing a truly special piece of land in this increasingly sought-after coastal location.
Importantly, geotechnical reports are available for the Lots, confirming stable ground conditions, providing valuable information for purchasers considering their future plans.
Stage One | Three Lots
Lot 1 — 8,753 sqm | $645,000
A predominantly flat, gently sloping site with native bush, open outlooks and expansive views.
Lot 2 — 5,850 sqm | $695,000
Predominantly native bush with areas of flat land and exceptional views toward Mangawhai Heads and the Pacific Ocean.
Lot 3 — 8,742 sqm | $595,000
An elevated, sloping site offering panoramic views across native bush, farmland, Mangawhai Heads and the ocean horizon.
The next step is simple: come and see it for yourself.
Photographs can show the views, but they cannot convey the tranquillity, elevation, scale or feeling of being here.
We invite you to arrange a private viewing and experience Mangawhai Heights firsthand.

Orientation we design around — see the contours on the aerial
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.
