Built in the late 1800s, this remarkable residence is woven into the early story of Devonport, a time when the Vauxhall and Narrow Neck coastline was emerging as one of Auckland’s most coveted coastal retreats. Grand landholdings, harbour outlooks, and ferry connections to the city drew prominent families seeking both lifestyle and legacy. Today, this home stands as a rare and authentic reminder of that era.

Held and cherished for generations, 120 Vauxhall Road is now offered to the market for the first time in approximately 55 years. Set on an extraordinary 1,978sqm (more or less) freehold site, running all the way to the water, this is a property of remarkable scale, provenance and opportunity.

Elevated and beautifully positioned, the home captures sweeping views across the harbour to Rangitoto, with a sense of space, privacy and quiet prestige that is increasingly rare. There is an undeniable presence here, a feeling of permanence and possibility.

This is an opportunity to honour the past while shaping the future. Restore and elevate this grand villa to its former glory, create a landmark family estate to be passed through generations, or explore the long-term potential of a landholding of such significance.

For over five decades, this special property has been the setting for a lifetime of memories. Now, with genuine motivation, our vendors invite a new family to begin their own chapter.

The lifestyle is equally compelling. Morning swims at Cheltenham Beach. Coffee in the village. Evenings returning home as the harbour softens into dusk. Devonport offers a rare balance of seaside calm and city connection, with coastal walkways, parks and a vibrant community all part of everyday life.

Opportunities of this calibre are seldom available and tightly held. Auction (unless sold prior). I would encourage early inspection. This is more than a home. It is a legacy.
