From the listing agent
In the words of Daniel Foote, Ray White - Whangarei
Positioned above the sheltered waters of McLeod Bay, this 714 sqm freehold section presents an opportunity to establish a coastal retreat in one of Whangarei Heads' most desirable locations.
Set within an established residential neighbourhood, the elevated site enjoys a peaceful coastal setting, surrounded by the dramatic landscape of Mount Manaia and Mount Aubrey, with the beautiful waters of McLeod Bay just moments away.
Recently subdivided and held on its own title, Lot 1 at 26A Neptune Drive offers an opportunity for purchasers looking to design and build a home that makes the most of this exceptional location.
The adjoining four-bedroom residence at 26 Neptune Drive is also available for purchase, providing a further opportunity to secure both titles together.
McLeod Bay is renowned for its outstanding coastal lifestyle, with sheltered swimming beaches, boat ramps, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, diving and some of the region's most spectacular coastal and mountain walking tracks all close by. The beautiful surf beaches of Ocean Beach are just a short drive away, while Whangarei Heads School (Years 1 to 8), The Deck Cafe, McLeod Bay Fish and Chips and the Mt Manaia Club are all within easy reach. Parua Bay Village, with its shops, cafes and everyday conveniences, is approximately 8 km away, while Whangarei's CBD is an easy 28 km drive.

Site context
What shapes the build here.
Road frontage
135 m
NEPTUNE DRIVE, RANGIKORERO PLACE, TIAHO PLACE, WHANGAREI HEADS ROAD, WHATONGA PLACE — vehicle crossing still needs council approval
Nearest stream

Unlikely to constrain the build
Nearest coast

Amenity at this distance, not a constraint
Nearest lake

Site aspect
Falls ≈ north-west
A north-facing fall suits passive-solar orientation
Too far away to matter: nearest rail 15.7 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.
