The Whangarei CBD is not too far away, and the Tutukaka Coast and eastern beaches, where boating and swimming are always enjoyed, are just a nice drive away.
These lifestyle blocks are something out of the ordinary. Contact Melissa Codlin TODAY.

How we worked this out
| Council valuation, Jul 2024 | $530,000 |
|---|---|
| Market movement in Whangarei District since the council valuation | −4.1% |
| Homes in this price range | +0.5% |
| Land as a share of the value | −3.2% |
| Nearby recent sales (9) | +0.9% |
| Our estimate | $499,000 |
We start from the council's rating valuation, move it by how sales in the area have moved since against their own council values, then by how properties like this one, nearby sales have done against the same arithmetic. Each step is an average of real sales. Tested every month against sales we had not seen: half land within about 6% of our estimate, and about 8 in 10 within the range. This is an automated estimate, not a registered valuation.

Another agency selling this property too, or is it for rent? Import that listing and it shows beside this one.
Building consents
We hold no building consents for this property yet. The council may hold records we have not seen.
If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.
We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.
Zoning and hazards
What the council's published maps say about this land. A map is a model of a storm, not a record of one: a LIM or a flood report says more.
Reading the council's maps…
What could you build here?
See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
