Held within the same family since it was built, 20 Farm Street comes to market with more than five decades of history behind it. Today, the focus is firmly on the 625sqm (approx.) site and the opportunities it may present.
Set in a tightly held Mount Maunganui location just footsteps from Bayfair Shopping Centre and approximately 850 metres from the beach, this property places future development in a location where convenience and lifestyle already do much of the heavy lifting.
Key Site Attributes:
- 625sqm (approx.) freehold site in an established Mount Maunganui location.
- Identified for higher density residential development under Plan Change 33.
• Practical site configuration with a substantial flat backyard and driveway along the eastern boundary.
• Scope to investigate upper level outlook opportunities as part of any future development, subject to consents and surrounding development.
• Council upgrades to Farm Street have improved pedestrian connectivity, with links to the Arataki Bus Hub and surrounding retail precinct.
• Bayfair Shopping Centre and the beach nearby, supporting the area's ongoing appeal and convenience.
• Easy access to key transport routes connecting Mount Maunganui, Papamoa and the wider Tauranga area.
The existing home is positioned towards the northwestern boundary, with the driveway running along the eastern side of the site and a substantial flat backyard beyond. Together, these attributes create a site configuration that may warrant closer consideration from those exploring future development options.
There may be potential to subdivide the section subject to the appropriate consents or to explore a more comprehensive redevelopment of the site. With the property identified for higher density residential development under Plan Change 33, the opportunity is to assess how this land could be better utilised now or over time.
While the land may draw the strongest interest, the three bedroom brick home provides practicality and flexibility in the meantime. With many original fixtures and fittings still in place, it provides a practical base while future plans are considered and opportunities explored.
That makes 20 Farm Street an appealing proposition for developers, investors and land bankers who understand the value of securing well located land before deciding on the next move.
And that opportunity is underpinned by location.
Bayfair Shopping Centre provides everyday convenience with shopping, dining and essential services close at hand. Easy access to key transport routes connecting Mount Maunganui, Papamoa and the wider Tauranga area adds to the appeal, alongside proximity to surrounding employment hubs and everyday amenities. The combination of convenience, connectivity and lifestyle continues to underpin the appeal of this location.
Whether the intention is subdivision, redevelopment, a longer term land hold or simply securing a substantial site in an increasingly established part of Mount Maunganui, 20 Farm Street is a property worth looking at through the lens of what could come next.
Opportunities to secure land with future potential in locations such as this are becoming increasingly scarce.
