Sleeping beauty

Tightly held by the same Family since 1942 - yes, nearly 80 years - now is your chance to secure one of the few estates still intact on the Northern Slopes.

Bring your architect and designer to develop this very grand villa into a magnificent home. The house, which sits on 2188 SQM (more or less) of prime, level land is very tired and is going to need substantial work to restore to its original splendour and modernize for 21st century living. But all the marvellous spaces, high ceilings and character features are still there. The house seems to have changed little since it was built c.1910 and is well positioned on the land. Alternatively, you may want to explore the possibilities for redevelopment in this superb location.

Whatever you choose to do, the rewards could be outstanding.

Herne Bay is one of Auckland's premier suburbs. Located a short drive, ride or walk from the CBD, Wynyard Quarter and Westhaven, the warm Northern Slopes have easy access to lovely little beaches dotted around the waterfront. Boutique shopping and great restaurants and cafes line the ridge on Jervois Road and the excitement of Ponsonby Road is within strolling distance. There are very popular pre-school primary and intermediate schools in the neighbourhood and access to a wide selection of secondary schools.
