Two titles, over 200 metres of private harbour frontage, and room for everyone you love. Lot 1 is 2,605 sq m and Lot 2 is approximately 5,564 sq m with a three-bedroom family home, studios and self-contained dwellings, and bach-style living with west-facing decks made for sunsets. Parents, kids, grandkids and friends can each have their own space, with the harbour as the shared backyard.

Or think bigger. Cabins, boutique stays, a retreat or a lifestyle venture: the bones, the history and the setting are already here, and dual road access plus riparian rights along nearly half the boundary give you room to move.

Want options? Preliminary plans show potential for up to seven additional titles, nine in total. Keep it all, develop it, or sell a section or two to fund your dream home. You can even keep Lot 2's waterfront entirely to yourself.

Significant work has gone into the new seawalls, and the BBQ cabana sits right over the water. You simply wouldn't be allowed to build it today.

Golf, fish, kayak or walk the beaches of the harbour, all just minutes from Whangarei.

Photos and words can't capture the privacy, the stillness or the scale of this place. You have to stand on the shoreline to understand it. Waterfront like this rarely comes to market, and it won't come twice.
