19 Kurahaupo Street, Orakei, Auckland City, Auckland

A freehold 1047m² (more or less) site currently zoned Mixed Housing Urban. Under Proposed Plan Change 120, this address has been identified for a possible shift to the Terrace Housing and Apartment Buildings zone. That process is still moving through submissions and hearings, so the outcome is not guaranteed at this stage.

Perched along the Orakei ridgeline with partial harbour views, this generous site offers land in a location that continues to hold strong buyer interest. The current zoning supports a range of medium-density outcomes, and the proposed plan change signals further scope in the future, depending on Council decisions.

The existing 1940s weatherboard home has been renovated to a tidy, workable standard. It gives you the option to generate rental income, live in while you plan, or hold the land with an eye to timing the market.

A few ways this could play out:

• Developers: The zoning supports consideration of a multi-unit scheme (subject to design, servicing and Council approval).
• Owner-Occupiers: Use the current home as your base while you design for your longer-term needs – including multi-generational layouts if required.
• Land Bankers: Secure a sizeable parcel in a sought-after coastal suburb and hold until conditions align.

The setting is hard to argue with. Walk to Orakei Basin, close to Mission Bay, handy to Eastridge for day-to-day needs, and straightforward access to public transport and motorways. Zoned for Orakei School, Selwyn College and Baradene College.

This is an address that gives you room to think ahead in your own time. Contact Steve or Rawdon for the property information pack.
