  • Vacant Land

Sizeable Section with Shed - 1.761 Acres, 7127m2

This very tempting piece of land has already been surveyed for three Lots and is

looking for a Developer to take to Title. it is beautifully private and flat, and has

the added bonus of being on town water and septic. It is a blank canvas.

In the meantime, or if you are just looking for a lifestyle block, then this could be the

property for you.. A two storey home would give you serene and expansive views

of the river. Mature trees surround the site seeming to magnify the feeling of peace

and quiet. The shed is also a very handy addition.

This substantial utility shed provides additional storage space, featuring mixed construction

including concrete block and clad exterior walls with corrugated iron roofing. The layout

and materials suggest the building may have been added to or enclosed over time, offering

flexible space for storage, equipment and potential building supplies on this residential block.

Purchasers are encouraged to undertake their own due diligence regarding the structure and

its suitability for intended use.

Dargaville is an inviting rural town with every amenity, including a Hospital. Recreational

activities abound and there is less traffic to get there! Come and see for yourself.

Our estimate$597,000

We start from the council's rating valuation, move it by how sales in the area have moved since against their own council values, then by how properties like this one, nearby sales and its own last sale have done against the same arithmetic. Each step is an average of real sales. Tested every month against sales we had not seen: half land within about 6% of our estimate, and about 8 in 10 within the range. This is an automated estimate, not a registered valuation.

Unclaimed
Nobody is tracking this property yet

If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.

Free. Takes about a minute.

We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.

Zoning and hazards

What the council's published maps say about this land. A map is a model of a storm, not a record of one: a LIM or a flood report says more.

What could you build here?

See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
