In the words of Minda Ross, Ray White - Whangarei
NO BUILDING COVENANTS!
Opportunities like this don't come along often! Nestled on sought-after Apotu Road, this 2,580 sqm freehold section is a golden chance to create your dream home in Kauri. North-facing and gently contoured, the site lends itself beautifully to a split-level design, capturing sweeping rural views and making the most of all-day sun.
With almost no building restrictions and the allowance for a second, minor dwelling, the possibilities here are endless. Whether you're looking to build a spacious family home, extra garaging, a shed or space for extended family - this blank canvas is ready for your vision.
Surrounded by lifestyle blocks, this rare, smaller section offers all the charm of country living without the workload of a larger property. Just 15 minutes to Kamo Village and a short drive into Whangarei, you'll enjoy the perfect balance of tranquillity and convenience, with local schools and amenities within easy reach.
With power to the boundary and a solid concrete driveway to the entrance, this is an opportunity not to be missed - secure your slice of Kauri today. Contact Minda for more information or an appointment to view.

Too far away to matter: nearest rail 2.3 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.
