87 Croft Lane, Riverhead, Rodney, Auckland

A rare opportunity has become available on the Coatesville–Riverhead fringe: a substantial 4.8243?ha lifestyle property, now offered for sale after more than 20 years in the same ownership.

Positioned at the end of the Croft Lane cul-de-sac, the property is accessed through a gated entrance featuring hand-forged wrought-iron automatic gates. A private, tree-lined driveway leads to an expansive and secluded block of flat to rolling land.

Improvements include an indoor heated swimming pool, a four-bedroom cottage, and a substantial 504sqm shed/office complex. The shed, currently used as a home office and warehouse, offers a high stud, generous proportions (28m wide × 18m deep), and seven automatic doors. The existing cottage and shed provide accommodation and storage options while planning or constructing a new home, and the cottage may offer potential as a minor dwelling once a new residence is completed (subject to council requirements).

The land is elevated and gently contoured, divided into eleven fenced paddocks with established shelter belts and mature trees. A water bore supplies irrigation or livestock water.

Historically, the property has supported an organic kiwifruit and mandarin orchard, later grazing for sheep and cattle, and is now maintained as flat lawns and mown paddocks.

Purchasers may choose to retain the property as a single, substantial lifestyle estate and potentially building a new home or explore subdivision potential.

Concept plans indicate the possibility of creating two, three, or four lots, each offering private building site options and land suitable for equestrian use, lifestyle farming, horticultural ventures, or work-from-home activities.

Any subdivision would require a resource consent application, and buyers are encouraged to seek independent advice regarding feasibility and development options.

This is perhaps one of the last larger landholdings in the Riverhead–Coatesville fringe that remains unsubdivided without a substancial home already built.

The existing cottage/home provides immediate living options, with the flexibility to build a new residence while retaining the current dwelling as a minor or studio (subject to council approval).

An older tractor shed offers scope for conversion into stables or continued use for farm equipment.

The surrounding area is well known for equestrian activity, with neighbouring properties featuring riding facilities and convenient access to Riverhead Forest for recreational horse riding.

The large warehouse/office provides an excellent base for those seeking a substantial work-from-home environment in a private rural setting, while still enjoying strong connections to both the Northern and Northwestern motorways.
