1A Erua Road Ostend, Waiheke Island

Some properties are about the house. Others are about the piece of Waiheke you get to call your own.

Set high above Anzac Bay, 1A Erua Road belongs firmly in the latter camp. Elevated, wonderfully private and occupying a substantial parcel of land, it looks out across bush and water to an ever-changing coastal panorama, boats at anchor, headlands beyond and that unmistakable Waiheke blue stretching into the distance.

And then there is the house.

Approximately 144sqm, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, it has been positioned to make the view part of everyday life. Wide expanses of glass draw Anzac Bay into the living spaces, while the elevated setting creates a wonderful feeling of being tucked away from the world.

But this isn't a story about perfection. It's a story about potential.

The property holds necessary consents; however, a Code Compliance Certificate has not yet been issued. For some buyers, that's a complication. For the right buyer, perhaps a builder, tradesperson, experienced renovator or simply someone who isn't frightened of rolling up their sleeves, it may be exactly where the opportunity lies.

There is a home here to complete, improve and make your own. There is land, privacy and an outlook that would be very difficult to manufacture. And there is the chance to take what already exists and decide for yourself what the next chapter should look like.

Because kitchens can be changed. Bathrooms can be finished. Houses can be improved.

But you can't renovate your way into a view like this.

For someone prepared to take on the unfinished business, 1A Erua Road could be one of those increasingly rare Waiheke opportunities, where the work is still to be done, but the best ingredients are already here.
