Set at the heart of Waiheke Island’s world-renowned wine belt this is an unmissable once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to secure likely the last remaining large-scale landholding on New Zealand’s jewel of the Hauraki Gulf.
Spanning over 49 hectares of premium coastal countryside, this iconic property offers a rare and extraordinary mix of natural beauty, scale and strategic development potential. From its gently undulating lower plateau to the dramatic elevated ridgeline known as Shephards Point, or Stoney Ridge, the land commands panoramic 360-degree views across award-winning vineyards, the turquoise waters of the Hauraki Gulf, the Coromandel Ranges and all the way to Auckland city’s skyline.
Already consented for a 16-lot subdivision, the property is zoned ‘Onetangi Special’ offering unparalleled flexibility for future development. This zoning supports a wide range of visionary uses from a luxury lodge or eco-resort to a boutique vineyard estate, private retreat, or a signature tourism destination that aligns with Auckland Council’s vision of Waiheke as the South Pacific’s answer to Napa Valley.
Currently used for equestrian purposes, the land also features unique ecological elements, including a native raupo wetland and shares borders with some of Waiheke’s most iconic wineries Stonyridge, Te Motu and Tantalus. The property’s proximity to these established vineyards enhances its value and positions it as a natural extension of Waiheke’s thriving wine and tourism scene.
This is a truly exceptional opportunity for visionary investors, developers, or those seeking to secure a once-only landbank in one of New Zealand’s most premium lifestyle and tourism destinations.
Large-scale, versatile land parcels of this calibre and zoning simply no longer exist on Waiheke Island. With every element in place, location, views, scale and consents this is most likely the final grand land opportunity on Waiheke.
Once it’s gone, it’s gone.
