Sun, views, serenity, and private access to the water's edge; this picturesque property, on Riddell Road's eastern fringe, delivers all the elements for unmatched waterfront living - and an exciting building opportunity.
Peacefully positioned off the road, one house back from the cliff's edge, this magnificent, sun-soaked freehold site offers 781sqm of usable flat land. It's the ideal building platform for a substantial family home; a considered new design would capture all-day sun and expansive, postcard-perfect views of the Tamaki Estuary, from Brown's Island to West Tamaki, with a peep of Churchill Park's canopy to the west. Or investigate the site's potential under the mixed housing suburban zoning.
Currently on the property is an original art deco cottage, sympathetically extended over decades and a cherished family home for the last 20 years. Charming and light-filled with panoramic views from the second level, the home offers comfortable living for the new owner (or a tenant) while planning takes place.
An enviable lifestyle is at the heart of this package. A private walkway at the rear of the section descends to the water's edge; enjoy the sunrise with a swim, kayak or paddleboard; in the evening, stroll along to The Churchill Club, or the cafes on nearby Roberta Avenue. Nature lovers are spoilt for choice, with the scenic coastal wetlands and pathways of Torea Tahuna and Roberta Reserves just moments away, while tranquil Churchill Park is on the doorstep. All just a short drive or bike ride from the bars, cafes and boutiques of vibrant St Heliers Village and the Tamaki waterfront.
In a family-friendly neigbourhood, surrounded by prestigious homes and excellent schools, this special property presents an outstanding opportunity to build a home, a future and life-long memories in this desirable Bays location.
