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. Publicly discussed health infrastructure—such as a proposed hospital within the broader Drury precinct—further signals sustained public and private investment into the southern growth corridor.

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.

Set on over 5,000 square metres in one of Hamilton’s most respected lifestyle subdivisions, this property delivers a lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find. Solidly built with plaster over cavity system, the home offers spacious open-plan living and dining flowing seamlessly to an outdoor entertaining zone and swimming pool; ideal for summer fun. A crackling wood burner ensures the cooler months are every bit as enjoyable as summer, while a large second living room (currently in use as a games room) gives teenagers their own retreat without surrendering the main living spaces.

Five generous bedrooms including a master with ensuite ensure the whole family sleeps comfortably. Practical considerations are equally well met; double I/A garaging is supported by a separate oversized double garage-shed complete with additional storage and a carport making it ideal for the boat, the trailer, or the weekend project.

Outside, the grounds are a genuine joy. Landscaped gardens and manicured lawns give way to several paddocks, perfectly suited for a few pet sheep or beefies. Established fruit trees, productive vegetable beds, and a friendly flock of chickens, going with the property, offer children a real connection to the land that no screen can replicate.

Highbrook is a community of like-minded families who value quality, space, and neighbourly warmth. The location offers the best of both worlds; peaceful, private living surrounded by premium homes, with Hamilton’s amenities and schooling a short and easy commute away in one direction and the beaches of Raglan in the other.

If the idea of a slower Sunday morning, eggs from your own chickens, and a pool glittering in the afternoon sun sounds like the life you have been working towards, this is it.
