Tucked away at the end of a winding bush path and all but invisible from the street, this circa 1915 Edwardian villa sits on an extraordinary 1,953sqm of native bush in the heart of Hataitai.

The home offers genuine home and income flexibility: one is configured as a three-bedroom with living and dining options, the other a self-contained one-bedroom unit. Whether you're after extended family living, a rental income stream, or simply room to spread out, the layout does the work for you.

Character lovers will appreciate what's on offer throughout: high-studded, sash and leadlight-style windows, native timber floors, and an open fireplace with its original tiled surround. From the upper windows, there are leafy glimpses out over the surrounding hillside and to the sea views.

This is very much a property for those with vision. It is being sold as is, where is, with no warranties given as to its condition, and will suit renovators, restorers, or those who simply want to bank a rare amount of land close to the city. With improvements making up only a fraction of the property's overall value, the real opportunity here is the address, the section, and the scope to make it your own.

Worth noting: Busaco Road is a pedestrian-only access point, with the path also connecting through to Overtoun Terrace and Hamilton Road - there is no vehicle access directly to the site. This is a genuinely private, quiet retreat minutes from Hataitai village, Evans Bay, and the CBD.

A rare combination of land, character, and flexibility - opportunities like this in Hataitai don't come up often. Inspect to appreciate the scale of the section and the potential on offer.
