1,298m² Opportunity in Forrest Hill
Set on an impressive 1,298m² site in a highly desirable Forrest Hill location, this property offers exciting possibilities for developers, investors and land bankers. Zoned Residential - Mixed Housing Suburban, the level-to-gently-contoured section features wide road frontage, with council stormwater reportedly available nearby.
The existing 1950s home is tidy and well maintained, offering three spacious bedrooms, a sunny living area, a practical kitchen and bathroom, separate laundry and basement garaging. Generous off-street parking provides additional space for cars, a boat or caravan.
Enjoy a convenient location just a short drive from Milford Mall, local shops and the beach, with access to sought-after North Shore schools.
Renovate and rent out the existing home, secure the property as a long-term landholding, or investigate its future redevelopment potential. With a large neighbouring development site and continued growth in the surrounding area, opportunities of this scale are increasingly hard to find.
All development possibilities are subject to Auckland Council approval. Buyers are encouraged to complete their own due diligence.
