This prime coastal property, comprising 2901m2 across two separate titles, is available for the first time in two generations. The highly motivated vendors have declared a reserve of $1.45m for the auction, making this a once in a lifetime opportunity for one lucky family. Coastal property in Auckland may never be this affordable again.
Located in one of Beach Haven’s most sought after streets, this property is just steps from Island Bay beach, and the clifftop position offers unrivalled views across the inner harbour. Imagine waking up to the sound of the waves, or enjoying stunning sunsets in the evening. The beach and boat ramp cater for swimming, fishing and boating - an outdoor paradise almost on your doorstep.
The 1970’s four bedroom home, built from Huntly brick with a concrete tile roof, was designed for the current owners by a local architect. While the house currently has a great layout (including a supersized garage) there is scope to modernise and transform, in a location where you cannot over-capitalise.
But the opportunity here goes beyond merely a ‘dream home’. The huge lawn, which has hosted sports games and parties, is a blank canvas where you can create a true coastal retreat. Add a swimming pool, a tennis court, or perhaps both? There are endless possibilities to take advantage of the panoramic views and serene waterfront location. This is where you create a home not just for your children, but also your grandchildren.
For developers, there may be potential to construct a second driveway and enable development of 134 Island Bay Rd with a separate dwelling, subject to council consents.
The opportunity to secure a property of this calibre may not come again. Do everything you can to be ready for the auction on 26 June, because this will be sold.
