Unique Lakefront Opportunity

Opportunities of this scale, flexibility, and position are exceptionally rare. Secure one, two, or all three properties 83, 85, and 87 Whittaker Road. Creating a truly compelling opportunity for homeowners, investors, or developers alike.

85 Whittaker Road forms the centrepiece: approximately 8,750sqm of absolute lakefront land with uninterrupted panoramic views across Lake Rotorua. Privately positioned down a right-of-way on the city fringe, it offers both seclusion and convenience just minutes from the CBD.

Set on the land is a character-filled circa 1910 residence, spanning approximately 360sqm, with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a single carport. The home presents a blank canvas, renovate, restore, or remove and reimagine the site entirely. The true value here lies in the scale, location, and irreplaceable lakefront position.

Enhancing the opportunity further:

83 Whittaker Road – an adjoining vacant section, offering additional scope to expand, develop, or secure future potential

87 Whittaker Road – improved with two dwellings, presenting an immediate income-generating investment or multi-living option

Together, these properties create a rare chance to secure a significant landholding with multiple income streams, development flexibility, and long-term upside in a tightly held lakefront location.

Key Highlights:

• Absolute lakefront position with uninterrupted Lake Rotorua views

• Combined, flexible offering across three titles

• Approx. 8,750sqm at 85 Whittaker Road

• 83: vacant land | 87: dual-dwelling investment

• City fringe location with privacy via right-of-way access

• Opportunity to buy individually or as a combined portfolio

• Scope to develop, landbank, renovate, or create a landmark estate

Large lakefront holdings of this nature are seldom available particularly with this level of flexibility and potential. Whether you are looking for a premium development project, a strategic landbank, or a generational lifestyle investment, this offering stands alone in today’s market.

Available by Tender. Purchase 83, 85 or 87 Whittaker Road individually, combine two properties, or secure all three as a unique multi-property opportunity.
