From the listing agent
In the words of Mousa Assady, Barfoot & Thompson - New Lynn
Positioned on Ascension Crescent, this 239m² freehold section offers a rare chance to secure land in one of Orewa’s most desirable streets. Sections in this area do not come up often, and when they do, they don’t sit long — so if you’re serious, act quickly.
This site gives you the freedom to design a home that truly fits your lifestyle. You’re surrounded by quality homes and a friendly neighbourhood, with easy access to everything that makes Orewa so popular:
- Short distance to Orewa School and Orewa College
- Easy transport links for commuting
- Minutes to Orewa Beach, local cafés, restaurants, and shopping
- A relaxed coastal lifestyle with all conveniences close by.
Opportunities like this are limited. If you want to build in a prime location with strong long-term value, this section is worth your attention.

Orientation we design around — see the contours on the aerial
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.
