About this section

<p>Tucked away in a tranquil valley beneath the iconic Maungaraho and Tokatoka Peaks, this breathtaking 3-acre property offers a rare blend of natural beauty and lifestyle opportunity.<br />With a pocket of native bush, the land is a haven for birdlife and a peaceful retreat from the everyday living. Gently contoured and easily accessible, the site presents multiple options for building - whether you prefer a spot near the quiet no-exit road or a more secluded position further back (subject to council approval). Power is conveniently available at the top of the power pole. <br />Located just 500 metres off State Highway 12 on the renowned Twin Coast Discovery Route, you're only 15km from Dargaville, 50km from the pristine Kai Iwi Lakes, and 70km from Whangarei. The Northern Wairoa River glimmers in the distance, adding to the charm of this unique lifestyle opportunity. The property is subject to a boundary adjustment which is not far away.</p>

Redefinition survey

Unlikely needed

Based on plan age + survey class

Survey data from LINZ Landonline. A surveyor's boundary redefinition can cost $3–10k+ depending on site conditions — factor it in if you plan to build close to a boundary and existing marks are damaged or missing.
