Our vendor's nine-year-old grandson put things to the test, timing his trip from the corner of this majestic coastal section, to the sandy shoreline. Just 90 seconds Grandad! Youth might be on his side, but at worst you can walk to the beach within a couple of minutes. Yes, location and character are given a big hearty tick here!

If your wish list calls for a spacious section that's soaked in privacy and flanked with coastal beauty, you'd better pause on this Hokianga special! This near acre site is a fine example of spectacular water views, generous sunshine hours, gently sloping contours and a tapestry of plantings to provide shelter and interest. As the land slopes away down hill, if you build higher on the section the views will be protected.

Time your run well and you'll reach the Copthorne Hotel for dinner and drinks in a leisurely three hours from Auckland. Or leave the car onsite and walk along the pristine beachfront to the hotel - no wonder NZ Herald has been picking up on this treasured corner of the north, applauding it for its beauty, affordability, and peaceful vibe.

All the services are in place, ready for the development of your dream holiday home. The 4,081sqm site lends itself to all manner of ideas and styles - craft a home and outdoor setting to best soak up those lavish water views. What's the order of the day? Will you start with a sheltered swim, or take to the sea for a day's fishing, or zoom down the sand dunes? Maybe you'll hit the nearby amenities at Opononi/Omapere, enjoying coffee at The Landings Caf?, whilst rubbing shoulders with the laid-back locals. The list of holiday magic is as long as the unspoilt coastline, and at such valuable buying, you could build today, or tuck it away for safekeeping.
