261 Hurstmere Road, Takapuna

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.
