From the listing agent
In the words of Irene Bremner, Bayleys - Kerikeri
Set within the sought-after enclave of Mahinepua Bay, this 4.000 hectare (more or less) freehold site offers a compelling coastal landholding with space, outlook and potential.
Rolling down toward the river that flows out to the sea, the land naturally lends itself to an elevated home capturing expansive coastal views. Largely zoned General Coastal under the current District Plan, it presents a blank canvas to create something special in a truly picturesque setting.
Mahinepua Bay is cherished as a peaceful holiday destination, known for its natural beauty, safe swimming and relaxed pace. Whether you are looking to build a private retreat or secure land for the future, this is an opportunity to establish yourself in a highly desirable coastal location, within easy distance of Kerikeri and the Bay of Islands Airport.
The description above is the listing agent's own wording, via Bayleys - Kerikeri. Devlin Property's independent read — buildability, services, hazards and total cost — is in the panels above.
Site context
What shapes the build here.
Road frontage
622 m
MAHINEPUA ROAD, RHODES WAY — vehicle crossing still needs council approval
Nearest stream

Setback unlikely to bite — verify in the district plan

Amenity at this distance, not a constraint
Site aspect
Falls ≈ north-west
A north-facing fall suits passive-solar orientation
Too far away to matter: nearest lake 2.6 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.
