From the listing agent
In the words of Abbey Collins, Harcourts - Warkworth
Introducing Tara Grove, a high end rural development in magical Mangawhai.
The first release offers four sections that deliver the ideal balance of country privacy and village convenience. Framed by beautiful native plantings and stunning rural outlooks, these generous sized sections provide a genuine sense of space and privacy, creating an outstanding setting for your new home.
A dedicated footpath runs from the base of the properties directly into the village, making it easy to stroll to local amenities. Bennett's Cafe is approximately 900m away, while Mangawhai Beach Primary School is a convenient 1.5km walk from home.
Mangawhai offers plenty to enjoy, from the weekend markets and historic Mangawhai Tavern to the Clifftop Walk, local golf club, sandy beaches and nearby Activity Zone for the kids. With the estuary just down the road, there are countless ways to enjoy the coastal surroundings.
Whether you're planning a permanent family home, a summer holiday getaway or a lock up and leave coastal retreat, these sections offer the opportunity to embrace a relaxed rural lifestyle while staying connected to everything Mangawhai has to offer.

Site aspect
Falls ≈ west
Orientation we design around — see the contours on the aerial
Too far away to matter: nearest rail 11.8 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.
