420 Dairy Flat Highway, Albany Heights, Rodney

Deadline sale closes 10 Jun 2026 16:00

4.19ha

10 Acre Untouched Bush Block

Deadline sale: Closes on Wednesday 10 June 2026 at 4:00PM (unless sold prior)

420 Dairy Flat Highway is the kind of bush block that built Titirangi's reputation. 4.1 hectares of mature canopy in Albany Heights, held by one family since 1966, offered for the first time in nearly sixty years. Two minutes to Albany Village.

This is untouched land. More than ten acres of original Auckland bush with regenerating understorey. Held since 1966 and left exactly as it stood. No house, no clearing, no work. The block runs northeast through hundreds of metres of canopy, catching morning sun and sheltered from the southwesterlies. The contour invites a considered home, with the right position best confirmed on a site visit with your team. Nothing to undo. Held, hiked, and left to itself for nearly sixty years.

What will you build into ten acres of untouched bush? Set deep in the canopy, the tui as your morning soundtrack, the bush as your privacy and your view. The kind of home that takes its design cues from the land it sits on, not the other way round. A coffee on a Saturday morning that costs nothing extra to taste like luxury. You become the custodian of your own botanical sanctuary, held by one family for nearly sixty years and ready for the next.

A clean canvas. Power, water, driveway and platform all designed by you to suit the home you have in mind. Most lifestyle blocks come with someone else's decisions baked in. This one comes with none.

The clever buyer spots it from the Highway. A natural earth bund along the road frontage already does the job most lifestyle buyers spend tens of thousands engineering themselves. Plant it, soften it, and the entrance designs itself.

Directly opposite sits Hosking Reserve, a public reserve being progressively restored by Auckland Council. Annual community planting days. Documented kauri, rimu, totara, kahikatea, puriri, nikau and taraire growing in the same forest type as your bush. Conservation work happening across the road, on a much larger scale, and the reserve stays green forever. Your bush sits inside a wider green corridor with restoration as the trajectory.

Two minutes to Albany Village. Four minutes to North Harbour Stadium. Four minutes to Westfield Albany. Six minutes to the motorway on ramp. Seven minutes to Pinehurst. Seven minutes to Kristin. Albany Heights, Dairy Flat, Lucas Heights and Coatesville all meeting at this address. Just 270 metres down the Highway, the Future Urban zone begins. The Dairy Flat to Albany corridor is being planned for long-term growth. Your bush stays. Green belt land like this becomes more valuable, not less, as the city builds around it. What is preserved here cannot be replaced.
