Opportunities of this calibre along Takapuna’s coveted Golden Mile are exceptionally rare, tightly held for generations, fiercely sought after, and increasingly difficult to secure. Positioned on approximately 1,214sq m of premium freehold waterfront land, this remarkable coastal estate offers scale, pedigree, and extraordinary future potential in one of Auckland’s most prestigious addresses. The property sits proudly on a circa 150,000 year old basalt rock foundation providing an extraordinary stable and enduring platform and not subject to coastal inundation and erosion concerns of other waterfront locations. Held and cherished by the same family for more than 60 years, this much-loved residence is being offered to the market for the first time in decades presenting a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure a significant landholding on the seaward side of Hurstmere Road. Whether you choose to enjoy the home as it stands, create an architectural masterpiece, landbank for the future, or explore redevelopment possibilities (subject to council approval), the options here are compelling. Zoned Mixed Housing Suburban, the site offers flexibility and long-term upside in a location where true waterfront opportunities are becoming increasingly scarce. The existing residence comprises five bedrooms, three bathrooms, separate living areas, three-car lock-up garaging, and extensive off-street parking comfortably accommodating family living while future plans are considered. The setting itself is nothing short of extraordinary. Elevated and jaw-dropping wide views stretch across the Hauraki Gulf. Dolphins regularly play offshore, and visiting orcas often pass by, providing a breathtaking natural spectacle enjoyed from the privacy of your own property. This is far more than a home; it is a legacy in one of Auckland’s most tightly held coastal enclaves. A rare combination of position, scale, history, and future vision, offering the next custodian the opportunity to create something truly landmark on Takapuna’s Golden Mile. The heartfelt decision has now been made to pass 261 Hurstmere Road to its next chapter. Contact Malcolm Low at New Zealand Sotheby's International for more information.

The world’s most enduring private estates are built upon a combination of vision, stewardship, and place. Sculptureum offers the opportunity to acquire all three within one of New Zealand’s most desirable lifestyle destinations. Home to one of New Zealand’s most celebrated private art collections, an established hospitality operation, a boutique vineyard, and considerable scope for future growth, Sculptureum is an estate unlike any other in the country.

The Matakana Coast continues to strengthen its position as one of the Southern Hemisphere’s premier lifestyle and leisure destinations, supported by internationally acclaimed golf experiences at Te Arai Links and Tara Iti, and a growing collection of luxury hospitality and tourism investments. Accessible by road or helicopter, and with the nearby Sandspit Marina providing access to the wider Hauraki Gulf, the estate enjoys exceptional connectivity by land, sea, and air.
