From the listing agent

In the words of Roger King, Harcourts - Waipu

A great opportunity to secure a slice of semi rural paradise ideally located close to Waipu township. 2447m2 of perfectly flat land, this property offers endless possibilities for those seeking a tranquil lifestyle without sacrificing convenience.

With ample space to bring your vision to life, whether it's a sprawling estate or a cozy retreat, the options are endless.

The post and rail fence bordering the property adds a touch of rustic charm and with high quality homes around you, this ensures not only a visually appealing neighbourhood, but also potential for enhanced property values over time.

Enjoy the convenience that Waipu township has to offer with all the amenities, cafes, restaurants, the local RAZZA and of course the legendary Pizza Barn. The local primary school is within easy reach for families with kiddies.

The beautiful white sands of Waipu Cove is about 9 minute drive and Uretiti Beach, maybe 7 minutes drive where you can enjoy all your aquatic activities or enjoy a morning coffee from the Cove Café.

Whangarei is a 35 min drive and Auckland so close now with the new motorway.

Don't miss this chance to make your mark on this idyllic landscape. The canvas is blank the potential is limitless - maybe it's time to make your move now.
