From the listing agent
In the words of Peter Vink, Ray White - Tutukaka Coast
Create your own private lifestyle retreat on this 2.7228 ha property, offering an increasingly rare opportunity to secure affordable land in a sought after location close to both the Tutukaka Coast and Whangarei.
The property enjoys peace, privacy and beautiful natural surroundings. A mix of open clearings, rolling contours and stunning covenanted native bush creates a picturesque setting rich in birdlife and native beauty. Elevated views extend across surrounding hillsides, with glimpses of the Ngunguru River winding through the landscape below.
A potential building site has already been carved out, providing the perfect blank canvas to create a home that takes full advantage of the outlook and setting. Existing improvements include stock yards, an approximately 10,000L water tank, a container and power available to the boundary.
Adding to the appeal, the property benefits from a water supply sourced from a nearby stream, with the stream fed by a natural spring source further upstream.
With no strict building covenants in place, you're free to create the lifestyle that suits you, whether that's a substantial family home, a tiny home, a cabin retreat or something entirely unique.
Just a short drive from Ngunguru Village and within a comfortable commute to Whangarei, this property offers the perfect balance of privacy, convenience and potential.
Build what you want, enjoy the views, embrace the native bush surrounds, and create something truly your own.

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.
