987 Hibiscus Coast Highway, Orewa, Rodney, Auckland

Built and held by the original owner for 26 years, this is the first time this property has ever been offered for sale. Designed and constructed by the builder himself, it has been lovingly cared for as their children grew into adults and left the nest. Now, as downsizing calls, a rare door opens.

Opportunities of this scale, with this much usable land and these panoramic views, are seldom seen.

Set on 1.0114 ha of elevated coastal land, the home captures sweeping views across the Hauraki Gulf to Tiritiri Matangi, Rangitoto, Great Barrier Island, Orewa and even Auckland City. The outlook shifts with the light and never loses its impact.

Importantly, this is not just steep hillside. Approx. 2.5 acres is genuinely usable, including three paddocks, landscaped grounds and mature trees with an abundance of native birds including Kereru and Tui. There is space for pets, sheep or llamas, sheds, gardens and free-range kids, that old New Zealand lifestyle, yet still connected to beaches, fishing spots, cafés and motorway access north or south.

The expansive 480m² residence offers separate parent and teen wings, multiple living areas and an oversized rumpus with balcony and panoramic views. A 80m² high-stud shed provides the ideal project or work-from-home space.

There is also a self-contained 64m² granny flat with its own access, lounge, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and carport, with income potential of approximately $400 per week.

There is clear upside here. Renovate, modernise, reclad or completely reimagine. The scale of both land and home supports serious value-add potential in a proven blue-chip enclave, where recent vacant lifestyle sections of comparable size have fetched well in excess of $1 million, and newly built homes command multi-million dollar prices.

The project ahead is for someone with vision who can recognise the opportunity. This is the kind of property that becomes a story told for decades, about how you secured one of the best positions in the area.
