Expressions of interest are being sought for the more than 100 hectares of rural-zoned land at 254 Matakana Valley Road. The site is across two titles, consisting of established farmland with a large house plus farm buildings, along with some 13 hectares of native bush.

Located about a kilometre from the centre of Matakana Village, the property benefits from a mixture of flat, rolling land and elevated views of the surrounding coastline at its highest points.

Expressions of interest in the freehold land and buildings at 254 Matakana Valley Road, Matakana, are being invited by 4pm on Wednesday 5 May (unless the property is sold earlier), through Bayleys in the North Commercial and Industrial.

Salesperson Chris Blair says the property presents a miriad of opportunities ranging from lifestyle options to long-term development prospects.

“This property will also attract interest from owner-occupiers, including those keen to harness its potential for a new luxury residence or as a lifestyle block. The attraction of living on the site is heightened by its picturesque rural setting, privacy and sweeping views along the valley from the elevated eastern portion,” said Mr Blair.

“The property’s location beside the urban boundary of burgeoning Matakana could also position new owners well for longer-term residential development possibilities as the town expands – though this would be dependent on a plan change.”

Co-salespersonr, Mr Napier, added that a key market factor that would benefit new owners of the property was the area’s projected future growth.

“The wider area has been targeted by Auckland Council planners as a major growth hub. This is expected to see the population of Warkworth, about 10 kilometres from the site, explode from around 5,600 in 2018 to 25,000 by 2030 as it is developed as a key Auckland satellite town.”
