From the listing agent
In the words of Andrew Ludbrook, PGG Wrightson Real Estate - Kerikeri
Amazing bare lifestyle block designed to accommodate a fine home with all the bells and whistles that you will rarely encounter in such a highly regarded central location.
There is a near to flat volcanic soil building site with nearby mature native bush featuring some magnificent ancient Puriri trees with a clean running fresh water stream meandering down the boundary.
No power connection is currently in place but the powerlines do run down the roadside on the properties front boundary.
Covenanted to a miminum closed in floor area of 120m2 plus and a few others such as no relocatables. Cats and dogs are allowed.
The description above is the listing agent's own wording, via PGG Wrightson Real Estate - Kerikeri. Devlin Property's independent read — buildability, services, hazards and total cost — is in the panels above.

Site aspect
Falls ≈ north-east
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.
