From the listing agent
In the words of Christine Walker, Ray White Warkworth
Nestled in the Snells Beach community, 70 Dawson Road offers a one-of-a-kind 4,248 sqm lifestyle section. Peaceful, sheltered, and full of personality, this is a rare gem with plenty of potential. Step through the boundary gate and you'll find yourself at the Waterfront Esplanade, offering convenient access for kayaking and exploring the surrounding waterways.
Sections of this size and setting are increasingly hard to find in such a desirable coastal location. Featuring a flat, north-facing building site, with no building covenants, it offers creative freedom. A shed, workshop, and storage are currently on site and although not livable , they can be utilised while planning your build, or it can be removed prior to settlement.
Years of thoughtful planting have created established gardens with an abundance of mature plantings, fruit trees, herbs, and flowers. There's a real sense of space and discovery, with a natural, lived-in feel from day one and seasonal bounty at every turn.
Adding to its appeal, the section backs directly onto the scenic Te Whau Walkway, linking Dawsons Landing to Goodall Reserve. The harbour is your backyard! Launch your boat from Dawsons Landing to explore the beautiful Mahurangi Harbour, or venture into the stunning Hauraki Gulf.
Perfectly positioned, you'll experience the very best of the Mahurangi region, with reputable schools just a stroll away, with convenient access to local amenities, public transport links, and the many beaches and walks this coastline has to offer.
Whether you're envisioning relocating a property, a bespoke coastal home, a family retreat, or a long-term land investment, the possibilities here are wide open.

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.
