Property details

Listing # 2602590 | Listed on 8 May

Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on a substantial 2,330sqm (more or less), this is the first time this property has been on the market in over 50 years.

For developers, the equation is compelling - scale, position and a flat site with genuine future potential for subdivision. For those with vision, there is also immediate appeal in the elevated outlook, stretching across farmland, neighbouring suburbs and out to the ocean beyond.

The main residence has unmistakable mid-century bones. Built in the 1960s from enduring concrete block construction, it remains rich in original character, with Rimu ceilings and a practical layout that invites reinvention. Inside, three bedrooms all feature built-in robes, with two opening directly outdoors. Two living areas provide flexibility, while the open-plan dining and living zone connects through glazed doors to a timber deck - perfectly placed to enjoy the peaceful setting. An open fire with wetback, a woodburner, heat pump in the master, separate laundry and separate toilet complete a home with solid foundations and lasting appeal.

A second, self-contained dwelling (built and consented in 1971) adds another layer of value. With a rental assessment of $320 - $350 per week, it includes one bedroom, a combined bathroom and laundry, living area with wood burner, and kitchenette - an existing income stream, guest accommodation or holding option while plans take shape.

Whether the vision is redevelopment, land-banking, or a considered revival of a home with enduring architectural character, the fundamentals here are hard to ignore: scale, aspect, two dwellings and a setting that feels quietly removed, yet firmly connected to a family-friendly neighbourhood.

A view worth keeping. A site worth backing.

Deadline Sale. Offers Closing 3rd June 2026 at 2pm (unless sold prior).
