From the listing agent

In the words of Tanya Maich, Bayleys Whangārei

Secure your place in the highly sought-after Te Mara Estate with this exceptional 2018sqm (more or less) section on Thomas Elmsley Way - the final opportunity to become part of this tightly held subdivision. Perfectly positioned alongside Maungatapere Primary School and just moments from the heart of Maungatapere Village, this generous parcel offers the ideal balance of community, convenience, and lifestyle. Surrounded by quality homes and proud ownership, you'll enjoy a welcoming neighbourhood where presentation and care are clearly valued. Previously an organically run avocado orchard, the fertile grounds provide an outstanding foundation for lush gardens and landscaping, while fencing on three sides and power available at the boundary make building your dream home that much easier. With covenants in place to protect the integrity of the subdivision and your future investment, and an easy commute to Whangārei CBD - particularly appealing for hospital workers - this is a rare offering that ticks all the boxes. The owners are committed to a sale and invite all interest in this premium lifestyle opportunity.

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.
