181A Old Parua Bay Road, Abbey Caves, Whangarei, Northland

Opportunities like this are becoming increasingly rare; a substantial 10.6822-hectare (more or less) lifestyle block, just minutes from Whangarei's city centre, and steeped in history as part of the original Parahaki Farm. Privately positioned down a long driveway, this is a perfect blend of space, privacy, and potential. The vendors have enjoyed what has been offered here for more than 20 years and are reluctantly selling this magnificent property.

The land unfolds in a sheltered basin, rising to the ridge line, with multiple elevated areas that invite you to design and build a home to suit your lifestyle with views that stretch far and wide. The north-eastern boundary is formed by the Awaroa Stream, adding both characterful natural beauty and a water source nearby. With around 4 hectares of recently harvested pines and the balance in grazing land that hasn’t been farmed for some time, this leaves plenty of scope to re-establish paddocks, and with a bit of work, return it to productive grazing or tailor it for horses and lifestyle animals.

On the practical side, the property includes a haybarn, a large former cowshed now converted into a three-phase powered storage shed, a set of cattle yards with load-out facilities, and two concrete water tanks. Stock water is pumped from the creek to a header tank, ensuring a good supply. Some fencing is in place, and a small pocket of bush provides diversity and a sense of rural charm.

This property offers something for everyone and the breathing room families crave. Room for the kids to grow up outdoors, space for a few horses, the ability to graze animals, or simply the chance to enjoy the freedom of a larger block while staying handy to the city. With quality lifestyle properties nearby, the area has proven appeal for families and professionals alike, as you’re close enough to the city for commuting convenience and schooling.

So whether you’re looking to create a private space, establish a family homestead, or secure land with long-term potential, this is a rare chance to make it happen. Lifestyle, location, and legacy - this is your opportunity to secure all three.??
