Some properties don't feel like "a listing". They feel like a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
Held by the same family for over 60 years and passed down through three generations, 3 Foster Avenue is a rare Huia waterfront home with direct beach access and sweeping views across Foster Bay toward the Manukau Heads. Properties like this are tightly held and almost never come to market, and when they do, they create immediate emotion because buyers instantly understand what they're looking at: position, privacy, and an irreplaceable waterfront lifestyle.
Set on a freehold 969sqm section, the home is comfortable and perfectly liveable as-is, while offering obvious potential to modernise over time and add real value. Inside you'll find two bedrooms, one bathroom, and open plan kitchen and lounge living, with both a heatpump and woodburner keeping things warm and cosy through winter. Step outside and the lifestyle takes over, with a generous deck positioned for the view, two outdoor sheds for storage and projects, plus a portable cabin providing extra space for guests, hobbies, a studio, or work-from-home. Parking is easy too, with plenty of off-street space (comfortably four cars), plus room for the boat or trailer.
This is Huia at its absolute best. Launch the kayak from your front edge and paddle out across the bay. Drop a line from the shore or take the dinghy out for a fish and bring home dinner. Spend the day exploring the Waitakere Ranges bush tracks nearby, then finish with a drink on the deck as the tide rolls in and the sky changes colour over the water. When you feel like coffee or brunch, the iconic Huia Cafe is close by, and the community here has a warmth and old-school New Zealand feel that keeps people here for generations.
This property suits so many buyers because it works in so many ways. It's the perfect weekend escape without the long holiday drive. It's also a peaceful full-time home where life slows down. And it's the kind of long-term waterfront asset you hold onto and hand down through your family for decades to come.
For those who haven't discovered it yet, Huia is a coastal enclave tucked beside the Waitakere Ranges, offering a true seaside lifestyle while still being within reach of the city. Titirangi Village is approximately 15-20 minutes away, and Auckland CBD is approximately 45-60 minutes depending on traffic, making this an incredibly rare combination of serenity and accessibility.
For Sale By Negotiation. Huia waterfront properties are tightly held, and opportunities with this outlook, direct beach access and family legacy rarely appear. When they do, serious buyers act quickly.
