First Time On The Market In 40 Years
Spectacular views out over Lucas Creek to the Waitakere Ranges in
the distance, gentle contour, mature trees creating character and
privacy and with an extensive road frontage makes this bare block
beauty an opportunity not to be missed. The family matriarch of the
current owners had foresight indeed when over forty years ago she
astutely acquired this piece of iconic Albany to hold as a long
term investment. Now surplus to the families' requirements the
property is available for the next foresighted investor or
lifestyle property seeker to secure. \nLocated on the western side
of the Albany Highway, bordered by lifestyle properties and a
Regional Council Reserve, and opposite the Unsworth Heights
Residential Estate entrance this 1.9567ha (5 acre approx.) bare
block is strategically located for a multitude of uses in the heart
of the fast developing Albany Super Centre. Build a country
residence that enables you to have the 'good life' plus enjoy all
the cosmopolitan trappings of a bustling city just down the road,
or hold as a 'land banking' investment.\nWithin 5 minutes drive to
both the Northern and North-western motorway on-ramps and only a 20
minute commute to Auckland City makes this one of the last and most
conveniently located undeveloped lifestyle blocks north of the
Harbour Bridge. There is a wide selection of public and private
schools, Massey University only a short walk or drive up the road.
The Albany Mega Centre provides a huge variety of boutique or bulk
shops, cafes, restaurants, and food hall and entertainment options
close at hand. The safe white sand East Coast Bays beaches and the
Waitemata Harbour or the wild West Coast black sand surf beaches
and Woodhill Forrest adventure playground are all within
20-30minutes drive. \n\nClick

Albany...\nAlbany is a northern suburb of the North Shore only
15kms northwest of the Auckland City Centre. It contains the
northern campus of Massey University and houses one of the Auckland
region's newest sports facilities, North Harbour Stadium. The area
(the future 'Albany City') is fast-growing in terms of its
population and the development. A major shopping centre hub opened
in the late 1990s and has since expanded; with Westfield Albany one
of New Zealand's largest shopping centres.\nConsiderable housing
development has also taken place, which has been facilitated by the
extension of the Northern Motorway through the area and by 2021 the
Albany City area is expected to house 9,000 residents and 15,000
workers.\nTo the north-west of Albany also lies Coatesville and
Dairy Flat, a predominantly residential/lifestyle locality favoured
by people seeking a country environment while remaining within 10
minutes commute to Albany City and 30 minutes to Auckland
CBD.\n\n\n
