144d Edmonds Road, Kerikeri

Set high above the Kerikeri Inlet on sought-after Edmonds Road, 144D offers a rare opportunity to secure a substantial north-facing waterfront holding with much of the hard work already done. Spanning approximately 1.89 ha, the property enjoys expansive 180-degree views across the Kerikeri Inlet and out towards the Bay of Islands. What was once simply paddock has been carefully transformed into a site ready for the next chapter. The current owners have undertaken extensive planning, consenting and development work to create the opportunity for a substantial five-bedroom residence, with significant infrastructure already in place to provide future owners with a valuable head start and the flexibility to continue with the existing vision or create something of their own. Improvements include four underground concrete water tanks, a septic system designed to service a large home, an engineered and retained building platform, approved and active building consent issued by FNDC, resource consent for the proposed build, established landscaping, an archaeological assessment, updated power infrastructure including a new transformer servicing the site, installed driveways and stormwater drainage, and a water filtration system designed to comfortably service a residence of approximately 10–15 people. The setting is exceptional DOC reserve borders the right side of the property, with Waitangi Forest beyond, creating a remarkable sense of privacy and connection to nature. In front, the outlook opens across the inlet, where changing tides, passing boats and yacht racing provide a constantly evolving backdrop. A broad level lawn extends towards the foreshore, while established gardens flourish in the rich volcanic soil. A sunken firepit creates a relaxed outdoor gathering space, and at suitable tides there is even the ability to launch a small boat directly from the property. To the rear, a large freshwater lake provides another dimension to the lifestyle, ideal for kayaking, paddleboarding or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The property forms part of an exclusive enclave shared by only five properties, offering space and seclusion without feeling isolated. Additional potential building areas further enhance the versatility of the land. Despite its private position, convenience is close at hand. The public boat ramp is approximately five minutes away, Kerikeri and Wharau Beach are less than 15 minutes by car, and the Waitangi Mountain Bike Park is within easy reach. By water, the Kerikeri Cruising Club is only a short crossing away. This is not simply a waterfront section waiting to be developed. It is an established lifestyle property where years of planning, infrastructure and groundwork have already created the platform for an exceptional home in one of Kerikeri's most impressive coastal settings.
