There are few waterfront properties in Auckland where the land itself is the story. Positioned on one of Point Chevalier's most coveted waterfront streets, this exceptional north-west facing holding spans 1,662 sq m (more or less) of riparian-right land - a scale and position that is increasingly difficult to replicate.
