Now asking well below market value, the opportunity here is immediately compelling. The vendor’s position is clear. Our offshore owner is realistic, motivated and ready to meet the market.

Set well back from the road, 22 Michaels Avenue has that sense of privacy you only really appreciate once you arrive. A long driveway leads to a modest three-bedroom weatherboard home that has been a faithful rental for many years, but the real value here is the land.

The property sits on a substantial 1,166sqm freehold site, elevated to capture an outlook across the rooftops towards Rangitoto Island. The land is predominantly flat and usable, offering space, sun and flexibility for buyers with vision.

For renovators, this is a chance to improve, modernise and create something far more rewarding. For builders, developers and land-focused investors, the fundamentals are attractive: a large freehold site, established Ellerslie location, private access, usable contour and future potential.

Explore a substantial new family home, renovate and hold, landbank for the future, or investigate a multi-home outcome, subject to council approval.

The location adds further strength, with Michaels Ave Reserve within walking distance, and easy access to SH1, Ellerslie Train Station, local amenities and Auckland CBD.

With the asking price now set and the vendor ready to move, this is the moment for serious buyers to take a closer look.
