From the listing agent
In the words of Paula Alexander, Harcourts - Waipu
Tucked away along a private road, these exclusive riverfront sections offer a rare sense of seclusion while remaining closely connected to the local community. Well removed from road noise yet just moments from Waipu village and the coast, this is privacy without isolation.
Sections available:
Lot 1: 1.077 hectares
Lot 2: 1.194 hectares
Lot 3: 1.261 hectares
Offered to the market for the first time, each generous section enjoys sweeping river and rural views. Launch your kayak directly from the lawn and paddle upstream to Waipu or downstream to the Waipu River mouth, or simply cast a line and fish from your own backyard. With the beach only minutes away, opportunities of this calibre are exceptionally rare.

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.
