182 Ha Within Auckland's Waitākere Foothills International Tender Some opportunities are measured by size. Others are measured by scarcity. Very few are defined by both. Positioned within Auckland's Waitākere foothills, Gregory Road, Caton Road and 121 Mount Albion Rise comprise approximately 182 Ha of rolling terrain, regenerating forest, extensive covenanted native bush and natural watercourses, only 30 minutes from Auckland CBD during off-peak travel times. It is a rare combination of scale, privacy and accessibility. A property where the landscape feels a world away from the city, yet remains remarkably connected to it. Historically shaped by forestry and quarrying activity, the land today presents as a diverse and evolving environment. Established tracks traverse the property, native vegetation continues to regenerate, and substantial areas of protected bushland contribute to a setting that is both visually impressive and ecologically significant. The appeal of the property extends beyond its physical scale. This is a landholding that invites vision. For some, it may represent a private estate of exceptional proportions. For others, a strategic long-term holding positioned within Auckland's expanding north-western corridor. Equally, its natural character, accessibility and scale may appeal to those seeking opportunities aligned with conservation, recreation, tourism, wellness or future landscape-led development. Importantly, the property does not dictate a single future. Its strength lies in the breadth of possibilities it presents. An approved framework provides further insight into the land's potential, embracing a low-density approach that recognises and protects the natural qualities that make the property unique. Native revegetation, ecological enhancement and significant retained landscape areas form part of a vision that seeks to work with the land rather than against it. A comfortable minor dwelling currently provides practical on-site accommodation and may serve as a manager's residence, operational base or holding asset for future ownership. Beyond the property itself, the surrounding environment continues to add value. Taupaki, Westgate and key transport connections remain within easy reach, while the renowned west coast beaches of Piha and Bethells, together with the wider Waitākere landscape, reinforce the area's enduring appeal. Opportunities of this nature are becoming increasingly difficult to replicate. Large landholdings still exist. Landholdings of this scale, with this level of accessibility, natural character and future optionality, rarely come to market. Whether viewed as a legacy asset, a long-term investment, a place of retreat or a canvas for future vision, this is a property that rewards imagination and patience in equal measure. For those seeking something genuinely uncommon, Gregory Road, Caton Road and 121 Mount Albion Rise represent one of Auckland's most significant landholding opportunities.

There are properties that are simply owned, and those that are held. Set across approximately 6.5 hectares (16 acres) within the Riverhead–Coatesville corridor, this is a private holding defined by scale, discretion, and enduring quality. Completed in 2019, the residence is constructed in solid concrete and masonry, with a material palette that favours permanence over trend. European influences are present but restrained, expressed through timber, stone, and proportion rather than ornament. The home is generous in scale, with expansive living areas, high stud ceilings, and a natural connection to the surrounding grounds. Spaces are designed to accommodate both daily life and larger gatherings with ease, without compromising privacy. The land is established and functional. A heated pool, tennis court, and outdoor living areas are set within landscaped grounds, while equestrian facilities, including multiple paddocks, a professional stable complex, and a full-size arena, provide a complete environment for those who require it. A separate studio allows for discreet staff or guest accommodation. Positioned within easy reach of central Auckland, and in proximity to leading independent schooling including Kristin School, the property offers a level of convenience without compromising its sense of separation. Opportunities of this nature are seldom presented publicly. Contact Natalie Newton & Jesse Hooper for more details.

Hamurana is well regarded for its sense of space and privacy, while still being an easy 2 minute drive to Ngongotaha village, less than 10 minutes Rotorua CBD, and key routes north. The approach to the property immediately sets the scene. A tree-lined, sealed driveway of approximately one kilometre leads you quietly through the grounds, offering both a sense of arrival and practical, all-weather access.

The spacious yet practical integrated layout includes two living areas, three generous en-suite bedrooms, a fourth bedroom or office, a functional kitchen and adjoining dining area. The modular design strikes the perfect balance, spacious without feeling excessive. Not too big, not too small, simply the Goldilocks house. Outside, the property really comes into its own. The attractive pool area provides the perfect place to relax, entertain and enjoy long summer days, while the established grounds offer something to discover around every corner. A generous size pond, private jetty and rowboat add an extra element of charm that make this property feel truly unique. The practical elements are equally impressive, with large double internal garaging, a two-bay shed, workshop and glasshouse, along with established fruit trees and extensive native plantings. With 15 years of thoughtful landscape development, the grounds have matured into an easy-care, gentle rural paradise, complemented by a reliable and generous water supply. This is a property that photographs beautifully but needs to be experienced in person to truly appreciate its scale, setting, privacy and exceptional lifestyle appeal. If you've been searching for that rare combination of quality, character, privacy and proximity to Martinborough, this could be the one you've been waiting for.

Introducing the historic Scott Farm – a premium 180 - hectare (approximate) development opportunity in the heart of Waitoki, just 10 minutes from the SH1 motorway and positioned within a high-demand rural-residential catchment. Held by the Scott family for over 150 years, this legacy property spans ten freehold titles ranging from 5.1 to 56.28 hectares, offering exceptional flexibility for developers looking to subdivide, landbank, or create a large-scale rural lifestyle community. Zoned Rural Production and benefiting from strategic positioning and scale, this property is primed for a variety of development outcomes. The land’s flat to gently rolling contours, expansive views, and areas of mature native bush create an ideal canvas for premium rural subdivision or eco-focused developments. With dual access from Waitoki Road and Pebble Brook Road, connectivity and access are already in place, supporting both immediate development or long-term planning. Fertile soils and well-maintained farm infrastructure, including a large implement and wintering shed at 260 Waitoki Road, provide strong interim use options while consent or rezoning plans are pursued. Scott Farm offers developers a rare combination of location, scale, and versatility. Its setting balances rural seclusion with urban convenience, close to quality schools, motorway access, and the rapidly growing northern Auckland region. Opportunities of this nature, with multiple titles and substantial land area, are exceptionally scarce in this part of the country. Whether you’re ready to develop now or seeking a strategic landbank with long-term upside, this is a landmark opportunity not to be missed.
