EXCEPTIONAL POTENTIAL - DESIRABLE HIGH GROWTH AREA
Steeped in history, this land holding of 5.52 hectares (13.64 acres) forms the estate of the deceased aviation legend David Locke. Elevated and awash with far-reaching, iconic views and spectacular sunsets, the outlook spans out to Rangitoto Island, across the harbour to the Awhitu Peninsula, and back toward Pukekohe and Bombay Hills. Potential beckons, whichever way the astute purchaser chooses to use this rarely available property. Zoned Mixed Rural, this well-positioned property offers easy access to the motorway, the planned Drury Metropolitan Centre, Drury South Crossing, the new Drury train station, and Pukekohe Township.
The 294 square metre (approx) home is blessed with excellent bones. Currently presented in poor condition, this spacious four bedroom home offers versatile living across three levels. On the ground level, open-plan living includes a generous lounge, dining room, and well-appointed kitchen, along with a bedroom with a separate toilet. There is also another bedroom with built-in wardrobe and a bathroom with separate toilet, laundry, double internal garage and workshop. The second level features two bedrooms, each with an ensuite and built-in wardrobes, while the third level offers a versatile office with 360-degree views. With a little care and vision the residence would quickly return to its former splendour substantially increasing the value of this outstanding property.
Numerous generous outbuildings, include three large hangars, a spacious barn currently used for storage, and additional storage rooms and sheds. While currently serving as aviation storage, these versatile spaces would be ideal for workshops, hobbies, or a variety of other uses. An iconic part of Pukekohe’s history, this airstrip operated as a topdressing base from the 1960s and served as both a private and commercial airstrip. Today, the canny buyer may choose to capitalise on the site’s exceptional position and future potential. Zoned for Pukekohe East School, Pukekohe Intermediate and Pukekohe High School, this represents an outstanding opportunity for the astute purchaser.
