From the listing agent
In the words of Corey Thorn, PGG Wrightson - Whangarei
Elevated, expansive, and perfectly positioned, this 25-hectare bare land block in Mangapai offers the ultimate blank canvas for your rural masterpiece. Held under one freehold title, it combines the peace of the countryside with the convenience of being just 15 minutes from Whangārei CBD.
The property features a prime, elevated building platform at the private rear of the block, positioned to capture sweeping panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Whether you are envisioning a modern architectural home or a classic country estate, the backdrop is already set. For the serious farmer, this block represents a strategic investment as a dedicated dairy runoff. The generous acreage is ideal for wintering cows, grazing young stock, or supplementary feed production, allowing you to optimize the efficiency of your main milking platform.
Infrastructure is a step ahead of the rest, with mains electricity already connected on-site and effortless vehicle access directly off the sealed Paparoa Road. The land is well-watered by multiple established dams, providing a reliable supply for stock and offering recreational duck-shooting opportunities in season. Stock Handling: Includes robust cattle yards and a functional loading ramp, providing the essential infrastructure for easy stock management and effortless transport to and from the property.
With over 25 hectares of grazing potential, this is more than just a lifestyle retreat; it is a functional small-scale farm. Run cattle, sheep, or develop a premium equestrian facility—the choice is yours. Families will appreciate the strong local community and zoning for highly regarded rural schools, including Tauraroa Area School. Enjoy the best of both worlds: a tranquil, productive rural life with city employment, hospitals, and shopping just a short commute away.

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.
