A large parcel of land fronting the Mahurangi River, just east of Warkworth, was sold at auction on March 16 for $13 million.
The 8.3ha site, which includes Robertson’s Boatyard, is at the end of Alnwick Street.
The property was bought by Conrad Robertson, who says the future of the boatyard is now assured.
“Yes, it is good news,” he said.
However, Roberston said it was still too early to comment on his plans for the remaining part of the property.
The sale followed the unresolved and long-running dispute between Conrad and his brother Martin.
