A prized trophy with vast gulf views

Own a valuable and unique piece of land with views stretching across the Hauraki Gulf. Huge scope awaits the buyer to enhance this 3751 square metre section perched on a desirable cliff top occupying more than half of West Tamaki Head.

The exceptionally large, freehold site includes an impressive two-storey, six bedroom cedar home, which was designed by Ray Buisson.

With two living areas and a guest suite, the home can comfortably accommodate a large family. The Hawaiian-inspired 'lanai' entrance area has retro charm with big living spaces. Three large terraces interconnect the northern side boundary to provide maximum outdoor living space for enjoying the gulf panorama.

From the long frontage the home enjoys an unobstructed sea panorama that encompasses Browns Island, Rangitoto, Motutapu, Motuihe, Waiheke and the Coromandel Peninsula, with an outline of Great Barrier in the distance.

The large lawn area merges with the sloping headland, where pathways lead through flaxes and native plantings to beach access.

The properties bordering the coastline have always been regarded as prime land stakes and incorporate some of Auckland's most influential homes. Close to the city, via Tamaki Drive, the commuting is scenic and stress free.

Owned by one family for the past three decades, 671 Riddell Road is a self-contained haven offering maximum privacy and exclusive street entry.

While the property is already captivating, developing its full potential would certainly add value. The beautiful flat lawn is calling out for an infinity pool and while the zoning allows for multi development, a guest cottage might be an option.

School zoning includes Churchill Park School, which caters for years 1 to 8, and Glendowie College. Buses travel along Riddell Road to allow easy commuting to the city. St Heliers shopping centre is just a couple of minutes drive away.
