From the listing agent
In the words of Jana Mills, Prestige Real Estate
10.45ha with Kaipara Harbour Views
Where expansive rural landscapes meet the Kaipara Harbour, this exceptional 10.45-hectare holding presents an opportunity to create something truly special.
A beautiful combination of open rural land and established native bush, complemented by a protected, covenanted gully, creates a property rich in natural character. Elevated areas offer views towards the Kaipara Harbour, while a number of potential building platforms provide the opportunity to explore where a future home could best complement the land and capture the outlook, subject to Council approval.
The generous acreage offers plenty of room for horses, stock and rural pursuits. Deer fenced and divided into four paddocks, the property includes approximately 6.5 hectares of effective grazing area, providing a practical foundation for those wanting to make the most of the land.
Whether you envisage a substantial rural residence, a private country retreat or simply a place to enjoy space, privacy and the freedom of a larger holding, the possibilities are yours to explore.
The surrounding area offers a wonderful range of recreational pursuits, with Te Rau Puriri Regional Park and walking tracks approximately 1km away, Lake Rototoa around 2km, the Kaipara Harbour boat ramp approximately 5km, Waioneke School approximately 8km, and South Head Golf Club around 10km away.
Set within a picturesque South Head landscape, this is an opportunity to secure a property where natural beauty, open space and potential come together. The combination of 10.45 hectares, established native bush, grazing land, potential building sites and Kaipara Harbour views gives this holding genuine distinction.
A special piece of South Head, ready for someone with a vision to make it their own.

Site aspect
Falls ≈ north
A north-facing fall suits passive-solar orientation
Adjacent DOC / protected estate
Within 55 m of protected land — West Coast North Island Marine Mammal Sanctuary
Adjacency to DOC or other protected areas can trigger RMA assessment matters, including effects on ecological values and public access.
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.
