From the listing agent
In the words of Christine Thomas, Bayleys - Mangawhai
After more than 100 years in the same family, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity now presents itself to secure 123.56 hectares (more or less) of strategically positioned land in Mangawhai. Perfectly positioned close to the town, popular surf and swimming beaches, great fishing, world-renowned golf courses, and just over an hour from Auckland's CBD, this picturesque property offers outstanding lifestyle appeal and future potential. Extensive dual road frontage and proximity to the Mangawhai township further enhance its versatility and strategic value.
Currently zoned Rural, the farm offers potential subdivision under the current Kaipara District Council plan for up to 27 lots, subject to Council consent. Many of the potential building sites enjoy spectacular 360-degree views, stretching from the Hen and Chicken Islands to the Barrier Islands, across neighbouring farmland and beyond. With Mangawhai continuing to grow and reduced commute times to Auckland becoming a reality, properties such as this, combining scale, location, versatility and strategic development value, are becoming increasingly rare in today's market.
The former dairy farm features predominantly gently undulating to flat contour, complemented by an extensive race network system, an implement shed and a disused cowshed. The property provides genuine holding income while future plans are explored whilst currently being utilised for dairy grazing and cropping. Farm it, landbank it, lifestyle it or unlock its development potential - the choice is yours.
Scale, location, versatility and strategic development value – a rare combination with a lot of the hard work already completed. So don't delay … give Christine or John a call today to organise your visit.

Too far away to matter: nearest powerline 1.4 km · nearest rail 10.6 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.
