Waipapa Road, Kerikeri, Far North, Northland

A large block of land is situated in the heart of Waipapa, close to Kerikeri, with an entrance off Waipapa Road. Most of the zoning is Rural Living, the same zoning as other developments in the immediate area, such as Blue Marlin, Pathways and Silkwood Lane. Rural living allows section sizes to be 4,000sqm subdivided as of right or 3,000sqm with planning permission. Some of the land closer to the river is rural production.

Being one of the larger pieces of land close to town that is available, future owners might consider retirement village options or development. With special consent from the council, a future owner might get permission to subdivide into smaller lots of around 3000 sqm. This would allow more trees and other shared areas of beauty to be incorporated into the development design.

The block is 44.9630 hectares (more or less).

Much of the land is flat, at one stage, it was proposed that this would be Kerikeri's airport. Some of the land has views to Cape Brett and the Bay of Islands. At the start of the land is a large man-made lake, a picturesque area with swans and other wildlife. An outlet from the lake goes to a waterfall. The northern boundary is the Waipapa River.

Future owners could continue to farm the site with free-draining soils and good fencing or develop the property for housing or other uses including public use. If the land was developed, residents could enjoy short walks around the lake or larger ones around the lake and down and along the river.

The land is sold plus GST, if any.
