Gladbrook Homestead

16.4886 Hectares - Set at the foot of the Rock and Pillar Range with commanding views across the Strath Taieri Gladbrook Station Homestead offers one of the region's most significant historic rural holdings.
Built in 1890's and positioned just 64km from Dunedin International Airport and 10km from Middlemarch, this substantial homestead and its surrounding buildings once formed the operational heart of Gladbrook Station - established in 1872 and historically linked to the wider Strath Taieri Run 213 before it was split up. As the residence of John Roberts, founder of Murray Roberts & Co., the station became an important centre of activity in the district, with shepherd teams, station hands, and numerous support staff requiring a broad range of buildings and infrastructure.
Today, this rare 16.4ha offering brings together an exceptional collection of original structures - including the grand homestead, a standalone billiard room, stone cottages, utility buildings, shearers’ quarters, and a classic woolshed. Together they present a platform of scale and character that is increasingly hard to find. Beyond its historical significance, the property’s layout and setting open the door to wide-ranging possibilities: a private rural residence, multi building accommodation venture, wedding or event destination, or even a campervan and motorhome park over. Gladbrook Homestead stands as a substantial, versatile estate ready to be shaped for its next purpose. Phone for set viewing times.

Premium foothold in Auckland’s future urban zone

A rare holding in Auckland’s Future Urban landscape, and set along the elevated ridgelines of Drury, 80 Drury Hills Road (Lot 3 DP 157934) offers a strategically positioned land asset within one of Auckland’s most significant long‑term growth corridors.

Zoned Future Urban and identified in the Future Development Strategy 2023–2053 for later sequencing, the property sits within a catchment earmarked for major transformation as the Drury–Opāheke area evolves into a metropolitan centre.

Employment and commercial activity continue to accelerate across the wider Drury precinct. Fisher & Paykel Healthcare have secured land for their proposed Drury West campus, expected to generate substantial employment and associated economic uplift (subject to approvals). Large‑scale developments, including Drury South Crossing, Stevenson’s Business Park, Costco, and Kiwi Property’s planned shopping centre are strengthening the area’s mixed‑use and industrial profile.

While infrastructure timing has been extended under the latest strategy, the investment fundamentals remain compelling: scale, elevation, proximity to major employment nodes, and alignment with Auckland’s long‑term urban framework. This is land with a defined future—positioned to benefit from ongoing commercial expansion, improved transport networks, and future urbanization.

80 Drury Hills Road represents a disciplined, forward‑looking acquisition within Auckland’s southern development pipeline, appealing to investors who recognize the value of securing quality land in the path of long‑term metropolitan growth.

Site improvements include:
•Modest three-bed, two-bath residence
•Packing & utility shed
