Set on an expansive 1,692sqm (approx.) site in the Mixed Housing Suburban Zone, this exceptional landholding offers broad appeal to families, land bankers and developers seeking a substantial site with exciting future potential (subject to council approval).

Held by the same family for five generations, the much-loved 330sqm (approx.) residence was originally built in the 1950s by respected Master Builder Mr Wright as his own family home, showcasing timeless craftsmanship, generous proportions and enduring character.

The expansive grounds have hosted weddings, family celebrations and community gatherings for decades. From Auckland Orchestra performances and pipe bands filling the gardens with music to renowned musician Mike Chunn creating music here, this is a home rich in history and character.

Perfectly positioned moments from Lunn Avenue, Ellerslie Village, the train station and Waiatarua Reserve, the property also offers double garaging, parking for six additional vehicles and three garden sheds. A truly once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure one of Ellerslie's rarest large landholdings with timeless family appeal and outstanding future potential.
