Deadline Sale
Finding this much flat land in Riverhead is becoming increasingly rare. Set on 1040m² in much-loved Crabb Fields Lane, this spacious five-bedroom home offers the kind of backyard families dream about, all within easy reach of Riverhead School and the village.
With lovely street presence and timeless, low-maintenance brick and tile construction, the home has been designed for easy family living. Inside, five generous bedrooms are complemented by two separate living areas, giving everyone room to spread out.
At the heart of the home, the open-plan kitchen and dining area connects effortlessly with the living spaces before flowing outdoors to the deck and expansive backyard. There is room here for children to run, pets to play, a trampoline, backyard cricket and summer entertaining, with space left over.
The combination of a substantial flat section, five bedrooms and multiple living areas makes this a standout option for growing families, while those moving off a larger lifestyle property will love having space around them without the maintenance of acres.
All of this is tucked into one of Riverhead’s well-loved streets, close to the school and the strong village community that makes this area such a special place to call home.
Over 1,000m² of flat land. Five bedrooms. Two living areas. One very easy Riverhead lifestyle.

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 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.

Councils keep registers of land used for activities on the Hazardous Activities and Industries List (HAIL) — service stations, timber treatment, orchards, landfills. A listing records how land was used, not that it is contaminated: most sites have never been tested.
Auckland Council does not publish its contaminated sites records. A site contamination enquiry (a fee applies) or the LIM will say what it holds.
