A significant package of land with spectacular views overlooking Tauranga and already approved for residential development is a rare commodity around the country’s fastest-growing city.

But that is exactly the opportunity on offer with the sale of just over 56ha of prime farmland in two titles rezoned and approved for urban development on the city’s southern boundary.

“It’s really a once-in-a-lifetime chance to shape the future of this thriving region,” says Bayleys real estate agent Phil Mangos.

“Extensive evaluation and investigative work has already been completed, so developers and investors can move forward to unlock the potential of this premium landholding.”

“The vision is for a well-planned, medium-density residential community that harmonises with its natural surroundings and delivers the highest standards of modern living.”

Mangos says there are few opportunities for rezoned land this close to Tauranga, and with the city's growth trajectory accelerating, the timing has never been better.

Approval for the development has been structured in two distinct phases on the eastern and western sides of Upper Ohauiti Road. The two blocks are available for purchase either separately or together.

The Eastern Block, covering approximately 13.9 hectares, already has a detailed scheme plan outlining residential sites, green spaces, ponds, and thoughtfully designed walkways and cycle paths connecting to nearby subdivisions.

The Western Block of some 42.6 hectares presents an even larger opportunity, offering scope for additional residential and lifestyle sites. Mangos says this land is perfectly positioned for future growth and holds strong appeal for strategic land-banking.

“Provisions have been made for a future commercial local centre, catering to the convenience and lifestyle needs of the growing community, and adding to the appeal of the opportunity for developers.”

Mangos says Tauranga's urban expansion is in full swing, and this package of land is a “golden opportunity” for developers and investors with the vision to secure a premier landholding in a highly sought-after location.

“This is not just a development project. I think it’s a legacy in the making,” Mangos says.

The property includes two existing dwellings, several farm buildings, and is currently used as a drystock grazing block running approximately 130 dairy replacements. About 50% of the land is flat, 20% rolling, 20% medium hill, and the balance is steeper hills.

Tenders close 4pm on Thursday 8 May 2025, unless sold prior.
