From the listing agent
In the words of Melanie Mak, Paterson Luxury
If you've been searching for the perfect blank canvas to create your dream home, this 1.73ha (approx.) north-facing lifestyle block offers a rare opportunity to have it all — space, privacy, elevation, and unbeatable convenience.
Tucked down a sealed private lane shared by just four properties, you'll feel a world away the moment you arrive. The land rises gently as you enter, leading to a sun-drenched, elevated building platform that captures sweeping rural views — the perfect setting for a statement residence.
The current owners have already begun the vision, with young trees planted along the boundary, providing the foundation for future hedging, landscaping, and a strong sense of seclusion. There’s plenty of usable land, meaning you could run a few animals, create expansive gardens, or build in features like a pool, barn, or orchard.
What makes this property truly special is its balance between lifestyle and location. You're just minutes from Albany & Westgate, motorway access, and private schools like Pinehurst and Kristin, yet far enough removed to enjoy the calm, quiet, and clarity that comes with true lifestyle living.
Whether you're a family planning your forever home or a buyer looking for a quality site with long-term potential, 741a Coatesville-Riverhead Highway delivers on every front.

Site context
What shapes the build here.
Road frontage
0 m
No mapped frontage — check for a registered access easement (see the title above)
Nearest stream
50 m
Setback unlikely to bite — verify in the district plan
Nearest coast
1.4 km
Amenity at this distance, not a constraint
Nearest lake
97 m

Site aspect
Falls ≈ north
A north-facing fall suits passive-solar orientation
Too far away to matter: nearest powerline 431 m.
Distances are from the parcel centroid to Topo 1:50k features (LINZ); site aspect is approximate, from the 1m LiDAR contours. Road frontage is a proxy — centreline intersection with parcel boundary, not a legal access measure. Confirm setbacks with a district-plan check before purchase.
