24.68 ha
96 m2Positioned atop one of the last known elevated residentially zoned landholdings in Whitianga, 61 Spikes Way offers a truly rare opportunity for those considering development or long-term investment. With sweeping views over Mercury Bay and a wide 6.2-metre access way already in place, this 24.67-hectare estate is uniquely positioned to support a high-end lifestyle subdivision — subject to all necessary consents and approvals.
Unrivalled Position & Flexible Potential
Set within the Rural Residential zone, this property combines natural beauty with development appeal. Preliminary assessments and prior expert commentary suggest the existing driveway design could support significantly more residential lots than standard zoning guidelines might initially indicate. A previously prepared scheme plan has explored the potential for up to 16 lifestyle sections, and engineering reports indicate the current access may accommodate traffic equivalent to as many as 50 residential lots under certain conditions.
All prospective purchasers are strongly encouraged to seek independent professional advice and undertake their own due diligence regarding subdivision potential, infrastructure, and compliance with relevant council regulations.
A Lifestyle Estate with Infrastructure in Place
Fully off-grid and supported by a solar array, this property is already equipped for modern living — yet remains connected to the essentials, with power and telecommunications services terminated at the boundary. A substantial shed adds utility at the lower end of the site, while a self-contained, architecturally designed high end two-bedroom tiny home at the summit provides the perfect example of the views and lifestyle the land affords.
Spectacular Views & Natural Elegance
Meandering streams, lush bush, and elevated plateaus give the estate a natural majesty that would be difficult — if not impossible — to replicate in Whitianga again. The panoramic views stretch from Simpsons Beach through Mercury Bay to the Alderman Islands, creating an ideal setting for a private sanctuary or premium subdivision.
Location Advantage
Despite its privacy and scale, the estate is just minutes from central Whitianga, and benefits from proximity to the town's airstrip — offering a direct link to Auckland and other major centres. This convenient location, combined with the region's growing demand for high-quality coastal living, underscores the long-term value of this site.
A Rare Offering with Future Upside
Given the unique topography, farm and sea views, and residential zoning, this property stands out as one of the most compelling development or lifestyle opportunities currently available in the Coromandel. Its scale, access, and natural elevation suggest exceptional potential.
