Four titles endless possibilities

Comprising approximately 6.7 hectares across four separate titles, 88 Old Waipu Road occupies an enviable position on the doorstep of Mangawhai Village. Rolling pasture, elevated building platforms, mature shelter, and sweeping estuary and rural vistas create an exceptional balance of lifestyle, investment and future potential.
For retiring farmers, this is the perfect opportunity to scale back without stepping away entirely. Run livestock, maintain a productive rural lifestyle, and enjoy the satisfaction of owning a historic piece of Northland farming heritage, all while being just minutes from cafés, shops, golf courses and coastal amenities.
For developers and land bankers, the property's strategic location is increasingly difficult to ignore. Positioned adjacent to one of New Zealand's most dynamic growth districts, the land offers scale, flexibility and multiple titles that provide several pathways for future consideration, subject to appropriate approvals.
For international and long-term investors, opportunities of this nature are becoming increasingly scarce. Mangawhai continues to attract significant population growth, infrastructure investment and lifestyle-driven migration, while maintaining the natural beauty and coastal character that have made it one of New Zealand's most sought-after destinations. Acquiring a substantial landholding on the edge of the township offers the potential to benefit from both current enjoyment and future growth.
Whether your vision is to preserve a remarkable piece of local history, establish an exceptional lifestyle estate, continue its agricultural legacy, or secure a strategic landholding for future generations, 88 Old Waipu Road represents an opportunity that is increasingly rare to find and exceptionally difficult to replicate.
Historic. Productive. Strategic. A legacy property ready for its next chapter.

Town and Country

If you’re wanting to go country - but you don’t want to leave town - then this is the property for you. One ninety-eight Earnscleugh Road offers an elegant five-bedroom two-bathroom home on more than three hectares of well-fenced flat land, just 1.2 kilometres from Alexandra. The new owners of this leafy, established property can enjoy the space, privacy, and lifestyle a block this size typically offers as well as the convenience of living very close to town.

The large 1995-built designed-for-the-sun plaster home sits at the back of the property and is linked to Earnscleugh Road via a private meandering cherry blossom tree lined driveway. The house is surrounded by beautiful well-established trees and shrubs. The back of the home has a grand English-estate-like symmetrical entrance, which leads through to the main living area and front entrance, which opens out to a very pleasant entertaining area, lawn and garden.

Most of this substantial light-filled home faces north with the master bedroom, walk-in-wardrobe, and ensuite at the eastern end of the house. Another three double bedrooms - all with built in wardrobes - are at the nor-western wing of the house. An open plan kitchen dining and living area, as well as a second living space make up the rest of the northern side of the home. A log burner and diesel fire heat this area, while the rural outlook through the double-glazed windows and doors is delightful.

A family bathroom, a fifth double bedroom, an office and a separate laundry with internal access to the double garage - all linked by a large hallway with floor to ceiling windows - complete the package. This is a lovely warm house with a great, homely feel to it.

Outside, the garden and the paddocks are well set up with fixed sprinklers and plenty of irrigation quota. The wee farm has a central lane for stock movement and then there’s the shedding. There’s plenty – a single garage, a three-bay implement shed with sheep yards for shearing, as well as a huge ‘high-stud’ shed with lockable roller doors, verandah, toilet and laundry facilities. A caravan pad with power and water is close by.

Close to the Clutha River with those Dunstan Mountains in the background, this leafy property has taken decades to knock into shape. The huge house is as solid as a rock. The sheds are in place. The fences are up. The sprinklers are in the ground. The trees, shrubs and plants are established. Imagine what this property would set you back if you were going to start from scratch. Conveniently located to Alexandra - remember just 1,200 metres from town - you’d struggle find a better property to invest in.

198 Earnscleugh Road, Alexandra - your future starts here.

Fully fenced and previously used for grazing and cropping, the flat, versatile land is equally suited to continuing farming pursuits, establishing an equine property, or building the lifestyle retreat you've always envisioned. The front paddock has just had its first baleage cut and the second paddock redrilled in a grass mix.
Whether you're dreaming of a contemporary country home, a sustainable off-grid haven, or simply room to spread out and enjoy the outdoors, this property provides the perfect foundation.
Ideally located on Rangiora Leithfield Road, you'll enjoy the tranquillity of rural living while remaining just a short drive from Amberley and within easy reach of Rangiora's extensive amenities.
A rare opportunity to secure a substantial parcel of quality land and turn your vision into reality.
