From the listing agent
In the words of Rachel Dugmore, Ray White - Mangonui
Perched on the Karikari Peninsula, this 505m2 (more or less) elevated section offers a rare combination of readiness and freedom. Boasting a north-west aspect with expansive views out toward Karikari Beach, this is the ultimate blank canvas for your coastal dream.
The Highlights:
- Freedom to Build: This site is covenant-free, giving you the flexibility to design and build without some of the restrictions often found in modern subdivisions.
- Infrastructure Ready: Benefit from a prepared building platform, connected power, and an onsite water tank already in place.
- Bonus Chattels: The inclusion of a caravan and container, providing flexibility while you plan your build.
- Prime Location: Situated in an established residential area near the Karikari service centre.
Lifestyle and Recreation:
Enjoy proximity to the white sands of Matai Bay, Tokerau Beach, and Rangiputa. Whether you are here for the renowned fishing, diving, and boating, or prefer a round of golf and a glass of wine at the nearby Carrington Estate and Karikari Estate Winery, this location delivers some of the best of the Far North.

Site aspect

A north-facing fall suits passive-solar orientation
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.
