From the listing agent
In the words of Ray Qu, Barfoot & Thompson - Torbay
Elevated 2,505m² lifestyle section with approved architectural design, reserve boundary & coastal outlook.
A rare opportunity to secure a substantial 2,505m² (more or less) elevated coastal lifestyle site in the tightly held Okura fringe of the North Shore.
Bordering a protected reserve, the property benefits from a natural green buffer that enhances privacy, openness, and long-term outlook protection.
The site already enjoys a wide coastal outlook across the reserve with a visible sea aspect, creating a strong sense of space, light, and coastal living.
KEY FEATURES
- Generous 2,505m² (approx.) freehold lifestyle section
- North-facing aspect with excellent natural light
*Established coastal outlook with visible sea aspect
*Sought-after Vaughans Road location in Okura
DESIGN ADVANTAGE
A key benefit is the previously approved Building Consent (2018), with architectural design by renowned
architect Owen MacKinnon.
This provides a strong foundation for buyers, reducing time, cost, and uncertainty typically associated with a new build process, and offering a clear pathway to proceed with confidence.
LIFESTYLE LOCATION
Enjoy a peaceful coastal environment while remaining close to everyday conveniences:
- Minutes to Long Bay Regional Park and beach
- Short drive to Albany shopping, schools, and transport hub
- Easy motorway access to Auckland CBD
- Surrounded by established lifestyle properties and natural bush environment
OPPORTUNITY
Large coastal lifestyle sites in this location are increasingly scarce, particularly those combining elevation, outlook, and an existing architectural concept.
This is an opportunity suited to those looking to build a bespoke coastal residence or secure a premium landholding for the future.
VENDOR INSTRUCTIONS
The property is seriously for sale, with clear instructions to meet the market.
All genuine interest is encouraged, and early offers will be considered.

Orientation we design around — see the contours on the aerial
Distances are from the parcel centroid to Topo 1:50k features (LINZ); site aspect is approximate, from the 1m LiDAR contours. Road frontage is a proxy — centreline intersection with parcel boundary, not a legal access measure. Confirm setbacks with a district-plan check before purchase.
