Description

A land-focused opportunity for investors, renovators, and strategic buyers seeking strong fundamentals, income in place, and long-term upside.

Set on a flat 718sqm freehold site, this property is zoned General Residential and presents a well-balanced proposition for buyers focused on land quality, location, and future optionality (subject to council approval and buyer due diligence). The site’s size, contour, and positioning underpin its appeal, while current infrastructure considerations encourage a measured, informed approach to any future plans.

Services are available at the street, and prospective purchasers are advised to undertake their own investigations with council and relevant professionals to understand current servicing capacity and development considerations.

The existing 1970s dwelling is currently tenanted, providing holding income from day one. With a current Healthy Homes Certificate, the home can be maintained as a rental or repositioned through renovation or refurbishment to unlock additional value over time.

Positioned in a highly accessible location, 36 Helena Road enjoys proximity to key education and transport infrastructure. The property is approximately 5-10 minutes from Hamilton CBD and 10-15 minutes from The Base, with Waikato University nearby. Local schooling options include Hillcrest Primary School and Hillcrest High School, with a range of further education facilities within a 20-minute radius. State Highway 1 is also within easy reach, supporting strong commuter appeal and rental demand.

From an investment perspective, this property supports several strategic pathways:

  • Renovation or refurbishment to add value
  • Land banking with income in place
  • Long-term hold within an established residential area
  • Future development potential, subject to infrastructure capacity, council approval, and buyer due diligence

Surrounding residential demand, established amenities, and ongoing buyer interest in this location reinforce the long-term appeal and flexibility of this asset.

This is a value-add and holding opportunity first and foremost, underpinned by land, location, and execution.

Key Features:

  • 718sqm flat, freehold section
  • General Residential zoning
  • Services available at street (subject to verification)
  • Income-producing dwelling with Healthy Homes Certificate
  • As-is, where-is sale

Auction: 21 February 2026 at 11:00am, On-Site (unless sold prior) Flexible settlement and deposit terms All agent conjunctionals welcome

All prospective purchasers are advised to undertake their own due diligence with council, planners, and professional advisors.
