Not many properties sit this high above Napier with this much land beneath them. Even fewer come with a home already stripped back and ready for its next chapter. On 1,535sqm of elevated Bluff Hill hillside, this three-bedroom home offers two clear paths forward: reinvent it into a landmark residence or explore the development potential the site and zoning may allow.

The house has already begun its transformation. Walls have been opened, insulation installed and framing exposed, giving you a rare head start on layout, wiring and design decisions. Original window placements capture widespread outlooks across the city and coastline. The existing floor-plan naturally lends itself to modern open living, multiple bedrooms and indoor-outdoor connection. The core elements are already in place: space, access, character and warmth from a wood burner. What comes next is entirely your vision.

Outside, the land is a genuine advantage. The section terraces down the hill with mature trees, sheltered pockets of sun and scope for landscaping, parking, additional dwellings or future subdivision potential subject to council approval. From almost every position you are looking across rooftops to the water, a reminder of how protected and elevated the site is.

For renovators, it is the kind of opportunity you wait years to find. Much of the prep work has been done and the framework is ready to be shaped into a home with real presence. For architects, builders or developers, the site alone warrants attention. Bluff Hill continues to command strong interest and large parcels with this aspect are increasingly rare.

Daily life here keeps you connected to everything that draws people to Napier. Walk to the CBD, Marine Parade, cafés, schools and coastal tracks in minutes. Hawke's Bay Airport is a short drive away which makes travel practical without sacrificing the privacy and elevation that define the address.
