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.

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

The vendors are motivated and have instructed us to present all offers to ensure no interested party is disadvantaged.

Sale price is plus GST (if any).

Big land - bigger vision - limitless future

Welcome to 118 Annett Road, Kumeu, where scale, opportunity, and imagination come together on a level few ever get to experience. Set across approximately 14 hectares in the heart of Kumeus sought-after Norwest corridor, this is more than just a property; it is a canvas for those who think differently, those who see what could be, not just what is.

Already in place is a legal home and income, delivering flexibility and immediate value. Live, lease, or landbank while you plan your next move. A substantial three-bay shed adds further practicality, ideal for business, storage, or serious projects, while three separate driveways provide exceptional access and future-proofing rarely found in lifestyle holdings.

But it is the land that truly sets this apart.

Rolling, usable, and full of promise with future subdivision potential (subject to council approval), and plans in place to do so, this is a strategic holding in a location that continues to grow and evolve.

And then the vision.

Positioned on the upper paddock, the ultimate homesite awaits, elevated, expansive, and commanding sweeping views across the Norwest countryside. A place to create something truly special. A statement home. A legacy.

Private, peaceful, and quietly positioned on a country road, yet within easy reach of Kumeus thriving hub, this is the balance so many seek, and so few secure.

Opportunities of this scale and flexibility are rare.

For the thinkers.

For the planners.

For those ready to create something extraordinary.

118 Annett Road is not just land, it is your next chapter.
