From the listing agent
In the words of Chris Lee, Barfoot & Thompson - Mairangi Bay
Discover an exceptional opportunity at 162 Sunset Road, Unsworth Heights! Two stunning sections - 197sqm and 221sqm - positioned side by side with breath taking panoramic views over Albany and Unsworth Heights.
Key Features:
- Flexible Purchase Options: Buy one section or secure both together
- Premium Positioning: Set back from main road for privacy and tranquility
- Spectacular Views: Enjoy magnificent sunset vistas and sweeping views across the entire Albany region
- Strategic Location: Short walk to Constellation Park & Ride - perfect for commuters
- Investment Versatility: Ideal for building your dream home or creating premium rental properties
These elevated sections offer the rare chance to create something special rather than settling for existing housing stock.
With current market conditions favouring quality development sites and strong rental demand, these sections offer both immediate building opportunities and long-term capital growth potential in one of Auckland's fastest-growing corridors.

Site context
What shapes the build here.
Road frontage
0 m
No mapped frontage — check for a registered access easement (see the title above)
Powerline
5 m
Inside the 32 m NZECP 34 corridor — constrains where the house can sit
Nearest stream

Unlikely to constrain the build
Nearest coast

Amenity at this distance, not a constraint
Nearest lake

Site aspect
Falls ≈ north-east
A north-facing fall suits passive-solar orientation
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.
