Papakura, Auckland, New Zealand

On the southern border of the Auckland metropolitan area, this second-generation Drury farm is superbly located and its potential is enormous. Developers, investors and landbankers will be quick to see a big future ahead for the 84.6 ha (more or less) block, which is on two titles and zoned Rural - Countryside Living under the Auckland Unity Plan. The zoning allows for the development of small lifestyle blocks.

It's easy to predict the demand for housing and lifestyle properties in such a key area as Drury, just 7.6 km from Pukekohe, Auckland CBD is a 41.6 km drive and Drury township a mere 6.7 km. This slice of prime real estate falls in the catchment area for the under-construction St Ignatius of Loyola Catholic College, scheduled to open in January 2024. Moreover, the Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Campus will draw numerous employees in the fields of research and development, pilot manufacturing and related roles.

Plans are also underway to develop adjacent areas, improve transport links, and create nearby housing developments. Drury's future is bright.

The flat to easy rolling contour of this block lends itself to development. A stream and small pockets of native bush running through the farm enhance its aesthetics, and three road frontages ensure easy access.

On site is a completely refurbished four-bedroom plus office weatherboard home, a range of farm and support buildings, and a disused milking shed. The farm is currently used as dairy support and beef.
