Where history once stood, a new chapter is ready to begin. Set on an 885m² section in the peaceful riverside settlement of Aratapu, this prime piece of land offers a rare opportunity to design and build in a setting surrounded by wide open spaces and classic Kaipara countryside. Once home to a character-filled 1910 villa, the site now stands cleared and prepared - a true blank canvas for your next move.

Importantly, much of the groundwork has already been done. Power is at the site, a water tank and septic system are in place, and a concrete driveway provides easy access. A barn-style shed sits proudly toward the rear, offering immediate storage for tools, materials or weekend projects while you plan your build. For buyers wanting to avoid the uncertainty of starting from scratch, this is a smart head start.

The section itself is largely flat and usable, framed by neighbouring homes and rural outlooks. There’s ample room to position a new dwelling to capture sun, add low-maintenance landscaping, or even incorporate raised planter boxes and fruit trees for a touch of self-sufficiency. With services established and space to work with, the flexibility here is outstanding.

Aratapu is a small, historic settlement on the northern banks of the Northern Wairoa River, just a short drive from Dargaville township for supermarkets, cafés, schools and everyday amenities. Known for its strong sense of community and scenic farmland vistas, this is rural living at its best.
